    so you have plenty of time to learn the hard way.

    In your dreams. I learned to have no tolerance for anyone that gets in the way of my goals and objectives the hard way. Even if beaten and stoned, I'm not going to let anyone stop me from being the wonderful way that I am.

    I don't imagine that will serve you well in life

    Quite the opposite. Honesty, being true to myself and my objectives, and not acting like I care about others when I don't have served quite well for me.

    but you sound young

    Same old ageism. The vast majority of 20+ year olds (as in 20 to 80 or whatever age a human gets to be around year olds) believe in their imaginary "god" and/or "soul" and don't use their brain for anything beyond being a robot that follows the herd in society and does as it is told. Sleep, get up, go to work, pop kids out and brainwash them by certain psychological techniques so they start liking the corrupt society, repeat. That's all they do.

    Just because one is older, doesn't mean they know more than those younger than them. The majority of adults may have more experience with working bloody hours in an office somewhere, but that's all there is to it. Also, the brain deteriorates as one gets older, just as other body parts deteriorate, so at the ripe ages of youth, one is more likely to learn about reality faster, and understand where they are wrong to change their minds, etc. Whereas the older people most times refuse to learn about reality, and rarely change their minds even when the truth is right in front of them.

    In any conversation we atheists had, more and more 10-18 year olds listened to us talking about the contradictions within the bible and the Quran, and became atheists, whereas most adults went around in circles and refused to understand they are wrong.

    Again, just because one is older, doesn't mean they are smart, nor does it mean they know more. They don't.

    I and a few others I know of are just a rarity among the 20+ year olds in the world that know better, and will not follow the herd.

    so you think people who struggle with mental health issues are "beyond repair" and the medical professionals trained to help them are pure quacks

    I don't believe therapy really helps for most depressed, or self-hating individuals. A "professional" is sent there to say things the depressed or self-hating individuals already know and don’t have the motivation or energy to execute. "Think positive", "focus on breathing", "exercise", "find time to do things you enjoy". Even I could say these things. They are told "get help". There is no help. Only the depressed and self-haying individuals can help themselves, and they refuse to bother with it, at least most times.

    It's good therapy somehow worked on you though.

    I'm going to go celebrate the holiday with my family now. Best wishes.

    Hmm, we don't celebrate that here, but have fun I guess. Say hi to your family for me. And happy holidays.

      with more life experience

      Because having existed for a few more years, which is called "life" experience, means older people are so smart /s

      If having more "life" experience meant being wiser and smarter, then the majority of adults wouldn't be religious, nor would they be following the mob like some robot that is programmed to be a certain way. That's not the case sadly, most adults are less intelligent than literal 12 year olds. I mean, at the age of 10 I knew that there's no such a thing as a "god" or a "soul", and wanted to go against the mob mentality

      While you see most adults following the herd with no questions asked, and popping out kids one after another in the name of their imaginary friend, just so they would brainwash them and increase the number of the adherents of their religion (that's the whole reason behind their "be fruitful and multiply", to increase their numbers in the most pathetic way possible. They know they can't increase their numbers via rational discussions, because their beliefs are nonsense. So they resort to becoming baby factories).

      They're less intelligent than a 10 year old.

      Just because older people existed longer, and worked boring jobs, doesn't make them smarter than those younger than them.

      And if you can't get this then you're just proving my point, eh.

      This isn't what my therapist tells me to do. Most of this advice is useless and shallow. And don't get me wrong, there are plenty of shitty therapists out there and I had to go through a couple to find the one I have now. She was the first one to diagnose me correctly and get at the root of everything.

      I guess it depends on the reasons why someone is depressed for instance. Someone could be depressed because they have financial issues, can't stand university because it's just not for them but their family makes them attend uni even if they don't want to, etc. Therapy for these people is useless, and a waste of time. They may talk and talk about their financial issues, their hating uni, etc, but after leaving the therapy sessions - the issues are still there as always and the therapists can do nothing to solve them, so there's no way to end the cycle of depression.

      For the depressed people who are bullied, in homophobic environments, etc, I don't see how therapy helps them when they are still bullied or in homophobic environments, only after the bullies are stopped, and they are given assistance to run away from their homophobic environments, the therapy could help them a bit.

      But I think the depressed and self-hating individuals should be willing to change and be helped first. No amount of therapy can help someone that does not want to be helped.

      Thank you

      😊

      Don't know how to feel about the new years, only 5 days left to 2021 and I wish the year wouldn't end so fast, time really flies 😩
