Maybe he doesn't see there being enough reason to justify the cost? Can you get free or low-cost therapy in the US?

Sometimes you can, but you would think that his relationship problems would justify the expense. Also, he's likely to still be on his parents insurance.

Look, I've seen therapists, it's pointless they just tell me the same bullshit, and I tell them the same bullshit. It's all just one big fucking game, I've got some issues maybe, but I don't need to solve them by spending 60 dollars an hour talking to some fucking know-it-all who's job can be done by any 15 year old with internet access.

Right, therapists have no idea what they're talking about. All those years of training and experience, and the studies they're basing their treatments on are meaningless! If only you'd been around to point all of this out when they were setting it all up. You could have saved everybody's time and money.

I was forced to go see a therapist when I came out.
To be honest I did enjoy the experience in a weird sort of way.
He didn't give me any sort of eye opening experience. I wasn't expecting one anyway, I know I'm fucked in the head but he did justify some of the emotions I had towards my father.
It was reassuring if anything.

So, tell me more about how you know better than all the psychologists who have developed modern therapy.

Wow. Do you really think you understand the psychiatrist end of therapy merely by observing their external behavior? That's like saying you could do the job of a qualified automobile repair technician by observing him working on cars. You have no insight to his mental process and wouldn't know why certain procedures were used, or the motivations behind any of his actions.
But sure, you could see how to change the oil, maybe do some very simple things. But to be qualified enough to perform actual professional work you would need exactly as much training as a real professional.
See, this is what everyone means. Youre so perfect you could, with no training or experience, outperform a professional. Get the fuck over your narcissistic ass.
Oh, and my question, "where do you get off, buddy? "
