I’m literally in the waiting room to see my therapist when I saw this. I’m gonna show her this.
Therapist: “You’re sharing jokes, that means you’re doing good!”
You: “It’s a meme, that means I’m doing bad.”
“I only share memes when I’m doing bad”
“But you’re always sharing memes…”
“:)”
Hope you’re fine.
I’m actually fine, thank you for the concern <3

Yes, we save the ugly truth for 3 nanoseconds after polite pleasantries are exchanged.
I just watched an episode of Lingthusiam about Phatic expressions yesterday- very interesting.
Like in Korea the phatic language is ‘have you eaten yet?’ which could be asked even if it’s obvious someone just came from eating.
fun fact ; I’ve been yeeted from many therapists for being too crazy.
they really just want to chit-chat for cash
If everyones an asshole…
…I’m an asshole too?
