So it’s a social media, made by China, making it Chinese social media. If you want to argue that its not the social media used by the Chinese, that’s different and should be phrased more clearly.

So don’t eat at all?

And people who don’t have a choice to eat out but aren’t able to tip because of income should…

I am having a hard time believing that. You compensate them well enough, they care. Ask anyone that “do not give a shit” if they’d care more about their job if they were paid 50x their wage and didn’t have toxic business practices. There is a line, it’s just they’ve just never seen a job that hit the bar.

Connections with themselves? Likely.

And I’ve known people who do this too, and I can confirm they’re highly competent and rushed. You’re saying that you are know people that, given enough time they cannot lower a box to the ground without damaging it? Sounds like they should be on some disability instead of working. Also, I’m glad you’re seeing this sentiment here! A lot of what I see on social media doesn’t consider the person that is working and only the work.

The workers are highly competent given the appropriate amount of time, however, they are beyond rushed by management and risk their livelihood if they aren’t.

Wow a very bad take without exceptions.

Yes, you go to the gym to see people you know and excerise with them. School gyms used to be more publicly available than they are today. Just because you’ve never had an excercise buddy doesn’t mean that the experience is bizzare, it’s still a common thing to do today (but gatekept by private gyms)

This highlights the modern lack of community. You’d go there to see friends.

You repress your feelings and wonder why you’re lonely. You don’t realize how much they impact your life until you know how to recognize them, I myself went through that too. It wasn’t until I learned more about my emotions that I truly felt happy, wanted. Repressing feelings doesn’t work, not in a social setting, because you repress all your emotions, even the positive ones.

I’m very aware of the strawman, you specifically asked for an answer. Those are real issues, but you asked how a therapist could help.

Hope this makes you feel better :)

A good job and a PhD require already having money too. This is why beautiful people on OF keep winning, funding their PhDs

By CPV, did you mean most populous.

A quick search says you’re 55-64. I bet you can get old divorcees at that age too.

Explain to me in actual words what a therapist is going to accomplish.

Lots of men aren’t taught emotional intelligence and therapy is helpful for better identifying your emotions so your choices can actually have impactbon them.

Someone’s never been to therapy!

At my age the only people left are either young divorcees, people with small children or people that are like me - single for a good reason.

How old are you?
