Have you ever been interested in something that you don't really like?

@Magenta yes, this, that's a very annoying aspect of it.

@HannibalAteMeOut Indeed, I so relate. It's bordering on dysfunction. Some don't even have a knowledge of true human nature at it's core, yet try and diagnose.

@Magenta many of them just project their own complexes on others too and think everybody thinks like they think.

@Magenta I study it atm and I think the best psychologists are people who try to solve a person's life around the problems. The definitions and labels are mostly guidelines and some of them are very specific.

@Ryannnnnn Oh nice, good for you. :-)
Guidelines are good as long as they aren't labels stuck in cement, lol. Personally I don't think any human can "solve" another humans life. Trying to understand, relate and help is the best psychologist, me thinks.

@HannibalAteMeOut [quote]many of them just project their own complexes on others too and think everybody thinks like they think.[/quote] Exactly! Quite biased too I would think.

@Magenta From being someone who has been in therapy and who has solved their own problems over many years that was what solved it, getting the main building blocks of a life in place. Purpose and something to move towards, healthy habits, exercise, lack of bad habits, living honestly, following your passions and being diciplined and accountable. I didn't listen to a couple of therapists who told me those things because I wasn't ready to listen but I figured that out through people like Jordon Peterson/my own experience.

Imo labels and diagnosis are only relevant when its a very specific problem that requires specific methods. Medication is a last resort and used to ease suffering or maintain something that is needed if the problem can't be solved or if it will take time to solve.
