Today, I deliberately didn't tell my therapist half of what I was going through because I didn't want to depress her. FML

I'm the OP. I posted this after my last session with my therapist--I'd realized that this particular person wasn't working for me because I didn't really connect with her to an extent where I'd be able to tell her all my problems. This is the first time I'm seeking therapy, and from what people have said, it sometimes takes a while to find someone you are truly comfortable with. Just to be clear--I don't think that my particular problems are at all special, and they aren't even that bad when compared with half the shit people I know go through. It was just getting to the point where I was deliberately excluding things that had happened to me/that I felt because I considered them too "pathetic" to share. You can probably guess that one of my problems is that I care way too much about how other people perceive me.

Your therapist is there to help you, for them to fully be able to help you you need to tell them everything. Even if it seems like a lot of stuff

You should tell her, or you're just wasting your money.

It's her job to listen, OP. You're doing a disservice to yourself by not telling her.

People can have serious problems and going to see a therapist isn't wasting money. Just because you are a spoiled little girl with no real problems doesn't mean others don't have them.

I think its depressing that you actually think your therapist cares enough to actually let anything you say "depress" them. Its there job to listen to sob stories on the daily. Every one has one, what makes yours so special?

I don't think OP mentioned anything about being "special". What's your problem?

I think it's time to talk to YOUR therapist about your urge to assert your dominance over people

I've been there,OP. Still am... I am learning to share everything. You'll be surprised of your therapist's reaction. He knows you are omitting talking about something and he'll be glad that you are actually getting better. It's always the things you won't talk about that matter the most. So,open up!
