      That is indeed not what I meant to say there, and I can’t help it if people choose to aggressively misinterpret what I was very clearly trying to say.

          When I keep repeating that I’m not against therapy over and over, but people just keep fixating on specific phrasing what else is there to say. 🤷

            Some people just enjoy arguing for the sake of arguing.

              Indeed, I find any time you explain yourself and people keep bringing up the particular phrasing you used while ignoring your clarifications, that’s a sure sign that they just want to argue for the sake of it.

                  Here’s the thing, it’s fine to misinterpret what somebody else said, but when you keep harping on the original wording once they’ve repeatedly said that was not the intended meaning, that’s not very productive. At that point you’re ignoring the intent and are simply arguing for the sake of arguing instead of trying to have any sort of a productive discussion. It’s just playing gotcha! See, see, the word you used could be interpreted the way I want to interpret it as opposed to the way you keep saying you meant for it to be interpreted.
