Calling therapy "the rapy" just makes me think you need it even more than an average person would.

Man, not even I am that dramatic. Go watch NGE or something and you will feel better.I for one was smiling the entire time I read this. I don't even entirely disagree with it, but this is a level of emotional intimacy I would never have here. I'd rather be closed off than share these kinds of thoughts with others, I think. Vulnerable animals are eaten.
I would say that therapists are fairly useless in the majority of countries. Particulary so in the US as they are just a stopgap measure to pumping you full of drugs. I don't know how they are in Russia but I don't imagine them being radically differentCalling therapy "the rapy" just makes me think you need it even more than an average person would.
Rule of thumb is, if you are so devoid of friends and family that you will write a short story about your worldview for complete strangers, then therapy is actually good for you if only as a release valve.I would say that therapists are fairly useless in the majority of countries.

I'd say if you're a religious person then you're better off talking to a Priest (or even an Abbot) than a therapist. The problem is that therapists give secular solutions to problems which may not always be secular in nature and which are often unfortunately tainted by ideological skewing. A Priest, on the other hand, especially one who is trained as a Confessor, should not attempt to skew the problem you have towards an ideological stance and should instead treat the problem as a medical case with a medical diagnosis, with the medicine being prescribed being of a spiritual nature, but still being medicine.Rule of thumb is, if you are so devoid of friends and family that you will write a short story about your worldview for complete strangers, then therapy is actually good for you if only as a release valve.

Granted, you aren't guaranteed to get a good Priest, but in the current global climate I would sooner trust a bad Priest than a bad therapist, especially when Priests don't typically require payment for their help when even a bad therapist won't do anything without you forking out cash first.
Most people who go to "therapy" just want someone to bitch about their problems at anyway. I can't imagine a priest telling you to go fuck yourself, but now that I think about it maybe some people desperately need that exact scenario to get their shit together and stop being fucking retarded.Even if you aren't religious, a priest is a good idea. He won't just stuff you full of thorazine and ask for 10.000 dollars after. If you want to, just leave some alms for the poor.
'Blessed are ye when men shall revile you and persecute you and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven'.I read most of the OP. Enough to understand what's going on.
Let me start by saying that I'm sorry your experience with Christianity was so poor. I know exactly the kind of fake Christians you're on about. A key tenant of genuine Christianity is the fact that we are all sinners. Even Jesus Christ himself said ""Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone." [Mark 10:18]
Your experience is particularly regrettable because by the measure of Christ you are not only normal but virtuous and admirable. I firmly believe if you'd had a better experience with Christian Faith you would have an easier time finding peace with yourself.
Do not be ashamed that the world hates you for your virtue, "if the world hates you know that it hated me first" [John 15:18]
The Papists actually happen to have a Trappist monastery in Kentucky.I'd suggest an Orthodox monastery if you can as it's the One True Church, but if you're Catholic then I think there's other options.
Pappist Trappist, is that a cheese type worthy for our great leader?The Papists actually happen to have a Trappist monastery in Kentucky.
I don’t know where Safir is from but I just assume everyone on here is American (not like their opinion is of value if they’re not).
There are 15 Trappist Monasteries in the United States, and that's not counting the Franciscans, Benedictines, and other such Monastic Orders.The Papists actually happen to have a Trappist monastery in Kentucky.
Threads like these are the real therapy. I didn't even try to understand OPs post and I feel as normal as I haven't in a while.Rule of thumb is, if you are so devoid of friends and family that you will write a short story about your worldview for complete strangers, then therapy is actually good for you if only as a release valve.
@Safir Have you ever had a pet?Yeah I'm thinking it's the autism.
Because you're autistic, or maybe just stunted (definite Android Raptor vibes) you can't decipher the emotions involved when people engage in these types of interactions.
People can't necessarily specify what intimacy involves because it's an unconsciously understood part of the human experience, similar to phenomenon like humor that people struggle to explain to autists.
Experiencing closeness with someone who you are attracted to and feel strongly about naturally feels pleasant and ideally physical contact/intimacy is an expression of that, one with documented positive health effects (in fact physical contact has positive effects even it's not romantic in nature).
Hormones like oxytocin play a significant role in mediating those effects, hormones which are often compromised in autistic people.
Summary: You're probably just on the spectrum. Explaining won't help because your brain physically lacks the bits that people normally have that makes this stuff enjoyable.
Maybe try getting one of those oxytocin nasal sprays they give to autists and report back.
