Okay well here’s where I have no idea what you are going on about then, if that’s how you see them then why did you go to them for mental health advice and why did you take medications they prescribed? Makes zero sense

I see them like this after experiencing their service. Are you sealioning or was that a real question?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I had to look up sealioning since I had no idea what it meant, no I’m not, and since you decided to frame your question that way maybe you just need a thicker skin, you engaged me in the convo, not everyone is going to automatically agree with you in life

So you personally had a bad run in and you did believe in them but no longer do.. okay I guess you are right then may as well invalidate the entire profession cuz schmorpel got bad service.. that is some flat earth type reasoning
