My problem with therapy is that I'm sitting across from someone without any of the same values or interests and I let them dictate my life because I tell them certain things that are always misperceived. I don't know how to explain myself. Or I don't want to explain myself.

My therapist told me a lot of the things I believe I am perceiving in real life are actually in my head. But now, I'm just stuck in my head. I am even more confused than I was before. How can I analyze anything I'm doing or what's going on, if this is all happening in my head...what is real?

I thought therapy was supposed to help me, not make me even more overwhelmed of the amount of things I can't do right..

There are always the ones that somehow make you feel beautiful, but they make you nervous because you aren't sure if you're good enough for them, or if they're even good enough for you. Other times there are the ones that you can enjoy the silence with and feel serene for the first time in ages. Highly conflicted feelings. Sigh. Why can't I just know right off the bat which one is better for me?
