Is it wrong for people to judge someone so hard that you make them change as a person, develop social anxiety, and ultimately make there mental illness worse? Over the course of the eight years I was subjected to constant ridicule and judgement for every social interaction. I had. Worse thing for me is I never realized what was happening. I first began question myself, am I what people say I am, Am I someone that doesn’t know how to have a nor.al conversation or social interaction. For the last eight years and most recently in the last two weeks have been told I flirt with everyone and ever interaction I had whether just a smile or hello or a work conversation as soon as the interaction was done Someone always came up to me and said I was flirting and I flirt with everyone. I was given the nickname of lover boy a nickname I hated because I knew what they were saying.
This leads me to the real purpose fo this post and something I talk about in my most recent blog post on bipolartater.com . Is it truly wrong to ever refer to having a relationship with your therapist. I recent said the word relation when talking about my therapist and I was ripped and ridiculed like I said some forbidden word. I in no way meant a sexual relationship or dating relationship just a relation developed through interacted with someone every week for more than 4 months. A former friend took it a step further and said I use my therapy hour to flirt with my therapist and they best she is uncomfortable the entire hour. This leads into a second word I used that got me ripped and ridiculed by my fellow group therapy members, that word being “friend”, I called my therapist a friend.
So in summary my wonder is would the response to the word “relationship” or “friend” been the same if I was a female or if my therapist was a male. When did it become such a bad thing for a male to have a non sexual relationship with a female.
Sorry for the rant just so.ething bothering me and wanted to get feedback of if I am truly in the wrong and just too stupid to realize it.
