without better biological tech psychology is just random guesses based on behaviors I suppose

It’s a subject that’s floating in midair without support from technology and experiments that’s good enough

I find the notion of emotional intelligence funny because it never fails to make someone seethe and nitpick on IBs.

 

Yeah, most people actually can't even be the reliable narrators of their own psyche and feelings. (which is admittedly difficult) Nor can people interpret behavior accurately most of the time because of their own projection, social narrative, ego narrative etc. Technology may help

 

There's definitely ways to advance our knowledge now IMO. In my exp the more context people introduce the more accurately they can predict others' behavior and manage it. But this stuff is harder to put down in concrete text and is closer to tacit knowledge.

what does bernd think of psychiatry?

 

I also think therapists are not real unless they've worked with severely mentally ill people in psych wards. My therapists has worked with schizos before and know how to connvince people out of delusions and how to behave -and what works

Most therapists are just projecting, and they are therapists bc they have mental health problems.

Social work school is also filled with katty bitches and homos that like to gossip

 

List of my therapists:

Former Incel

Trans

Jew

Ironically the tranny was the most empathetic. They/she/he was extremely depressed and I felt bad for xer (not like how imageboards portray it). They seemed to have few friends outside of work and no partner. They seemed to just have work and play video games - and would call me a lot and be concerned for me. It was she -> he

Historically, most psych wards, psychiatric medicine and most psychiatrists' purpose was not to figure what your problem is, but to deal with the symptoms. It didn't really matter if the side effects of something like haloperidol are debilitating when they need to make violent patients calm down. Well, it's the one thing they could do.

 

Some people benefit from that approach because no treatment is worse than taking some meds. The US could probably use some psych wards, as some murican told me.

 

For people like me though? Most psychiatrists bring a hammer to fix a window. In my country they are literally just trained to deal with schizophrenics so everyone is a schizo to them.

 

that's kinda cool not gonna lie

Incel recommended me Albert Ellis (sex pervert that coomed on women in public and asked out 100+ women in a day to get over fear). He unironically pulled out a pickup artist book during a session and charged me when I missed session. I could get that nigga disbarred

That's how it is today. Nurses tranquillized people during their sleep in the psych ward I was in, and you would be court ordered to take meds if you refused.

 

This is very dependent on psychiatrist in the US. Also, ADHD is a big US meme - so a lot of psychiatrists know about that. Partial hospitalizations programs are more common than inpatient in the US.

Yeah therapists feel like they're trying to see through you not at you. Probably cause at the end of the day it's just a job they just want to get home and grill already.

 

I've had the best experience talking to people who actually need this conversation like I do so they're at least a bit motivated to empathize.

 

yeah case in point

like uhmm you have a problem just lets just read this book instead bro i have other shit to think about
