i duno, i think its pretty normal to think people are stupid. until you can imagine your 90 year old grandma in their place asking you the same question, then suddenly you're all nice and shit cuz they're old and u feel like they need help.

it's lack of empathy. lol it's even lack of sympathy actually. but more so empathy.

yes, they are retarded, thats why they ask those questions. cuz they truly don't know. and they're retarded in the way that they duno how to find the answer themselves either.

what if it were a full on real retarded handicapped person asking you? or a child. suddenly you speak like you're speaking to a puppy dog. all slow and cute and drawing shit out in crayons. if you still find yourself with a condescending tone of voice talking to a mentally handicapped person or child. then you've got real problems.

other than that, you're probably just being an asshole and just need to watch yourself. its ok being an asshole till you meet a bigger stronger meaner asshole who breaks your legs and puts you in your place.

i am an asshole sometimes. but i try not to be anymore. too many arguments and waste of time. this aint the stone age where i can just kill whoever annoys me. there are bigger people with bigger guns around. it's sometimes better just everyone being friends. lol. that's a very primitive way to put it.

basically u wanna be a condescending asshole cuz its a form of bullying almost. you wanna make them feel fucking stupid and it makes u feel good and right. but its a pathetic form of bullying cuz you're not actually beating them up or killing them. so what's the real point LOL. you don't really win at the end. you just feel angry. and they just go off and find someone else better to ask the question and you lose some reputation.

Ulic just mindfucking you.

Psychiatrists are medical doctors who go on to specialize in mental health and mental illness. Psychiatrists often use medication to help their clients manage their mental illness. There are some mental illnesses for which medications are necessary (such as schizophrenia, and some depressions, for example). Some psychiatrists also do psychotherapy much like psychologists do.

A psychologist typically holds a doctoral degree in psychology and has a total of ten or more years of university study into how people think, feel, and behave. Psychologists typically will have completed their graduate university training in clinical psychology, counselling psychology, clinical neuropsychology, or educational/school psychology and those with a doctorate degree may use the title “Dr.”.

A practicing psychologist is trained to assess and diagnose problems in thinking, feeling, and behaviour as well as to help people overcome or manage these problems. A psychologist is uniquely trained to use psychological tests to help with assessment and diagnosis. Psychologists help people to overcome or manage their problems using a variety of treatments or psychotherapies.

If you go to a hospital you will see Psychiatrists. If you are looking to get meds you needs to see a Psychiatrist or go see your family doctor.

If you are wanting to see a psychologist. Your family doctor may be able to refer you to one they have had success with in the past or as you have done ask around. It doesn't matter though as only you and the psychologist will know if you have the right 'connection'. I wouldn't trust Yelp reviews for medical advice. Jericho might not have good Yelp reviews but you can meet with someone for an initial consultation for free.

A Psychologist hourly rate is between $175 and $300 and hour. It depends on how much your extended plan covers a year on how many visits.
Psychiatrists are usually" covered under MSP.

Seeking out someone to talk to is brave and falls under self care. If you broke your arm you would seek out medical help. Having someone to speak to about your mental health is just important.
