I knew that would come out wrong. I'm sorry. I didn't mean you, or online even. In person I'm not very appealing. My therapist even said he was fine with other clients and thought "Oh no. She's going to taaalk."
And yet even that didn't hurt as much as what he said Friday.
Well, maybe it did have a lasting effect. Maybe that was the beginning of the end. I don't think I've ever gotten past that. In the past I'd probably work hard to get his attention and help him stay awake. Since he made that remark, I'm more likely to trail off on whatever I'm saying and look around for something else to talk about. Or just cry.
Maybe total honesty wasn't such a good thing, even if on a surface level it didn't hurt nearly as much as the remarks about not knowing why I was there. It probably made me more like the self conscious and stiff person I am in general in person.
