Feeling exhausted due to therapy
I started therapy and I started CBT. My therapist doesn't like the fact that all my friends are online and that I lack any physical friends. She misses the point that I already have good friends online and she thinks that physical friends are more needed then online friends. I haven't seen a reason to make physical friends, it feels annoying she is pushy. Am I the asshole in this situation? - misanthropicsuccubus
I think she's right. The connections from online friends and online communication is simply not the same.
Think about it... You're discrediting the advice you've actively sought out off of your own internal beliefs. This person's JOB is to help people with their mental health.
I'm of the belief that living solely in an online world is social cancer. You might feel fine in the short-term, but it really is a shallow and unfulfilling experience in the long-term. How many of your online friends are going to come to help you out when your car is stalled? How many will visit you in the hospital? How many will attend your birthday party or let you borrow money? Can you really be vulnerable with people behind a screen?
