I see your general point, but as we have no idea what's going on with OP, I don't feel this was the place to make it.

That self-awareness gets me quite often.

IMO, it would all depend on the specific practitioner. Could be a fun thing almost like dancing lessons.

If I were to get into a relationship I’d probably want to have a some kind of sounding board that isn’t this place to give me reality checks or maybe just a personal trainer..

Don’t you have friends you hang out with and talk to about stuff that this?

Thanks for the follow up question friend. YMMV

You’re welcome, it’s a valid question as your immediate response went to paying someone for input because you didn’t want to bounce stuff off Reddit. Seems you were missing the whole “real life friendship” part so wanted to make sure.

Good day! Wising you the most excellent. Just remember there was advice on meta to lubricate automobile brakes for increased horsepower. From the after photos, it appeared greasing up the brakes resulted in a motor vehicle accident after a chicane for the individual involved.

YMMV-Your Mileage May Vary was a cheeky 🙃way of saying that people and relationships are highly variable I would be careful who you tell your problems to and even more careful who’s input you consider given the human condition.

I said what I said because I’ve met some dynamic people along the way who happen to be community support workers and valued their intelligence, authenticity, approach to life, relationships, and conflict - and willingness to share. I support people like that.

In fact I might feel stupid believing anything or listening to free advice from [comment with your favourite characterization of Reddit for good karma]

In this case we can totally agree. This is a website for entertainment purposes only. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

That is a fair critique. I disagree, obviously, but I do understand your point of view.
