>>3522336>I go to therapy regularly.>It really isn't helping a lot.I go too and it's not going to fix you unless you also put in the necessary effort but then you will start wondering if you needed the therapy at all, I'm just really glad that most of the costs are covered by healthcare so it doesn't feel like much of a waste.
In my experience, I do need it. Not only do I find it immensely satisfying to talk about deep thoughts and experiences with a cute girl who may or may not care but she actually learned me to be more open towards other ideas and interpretations and become more accepting of myself without looking down on myself, something I was really struggling with and something that often killed my motivation to keep drawing.
No one seems to care for me either at this point but I'm also using the therapy to break out of this isolation and look for opportunities to meet people, using drawing and painting as a stepping stone and the therapist as someone who can guide me. (sounds a bit cheesy but I lack so much experience when it comes to people when left on my own, nothing would change)
And I don't know how other people do it but I really need something in common with a person to even be able to initiate contact, meeting for the sake of meeting just doesn't work but a shared interest can work wonders.
