therapy costs money

therapy might get covered but costs money somewhere along the way. it might also lose you a job for 'unrelated' reasons.

you presumably get paid while lost at sea if you are part of the crew

It seems that being a castaway is preferable to dystopia. https://thedailytism.com/autistic-man-stranded-on-desert-island-asks-rescue-team-for-a-couple-more-weeks/

Depends on the kind of "lost at sea"

In a perfectly functioning oceanworthy boat stocked with food, but the GPS fell overboard and I have no idea where I am so I'm going to sail West as much as I can until I hit land, then sail counter-clockwise around the coast until I find something I can identify or someone I can ask? Sure let's go.

Ship sank, I'm alone in an inflatable raft with a flare gun and a blinkenlight? Nah you go ahead.

Honestly if I had the means and skills to survive that semi-comfortably, I'd be down for making that an annual tradition.

Shameless plug for !Reprieve@lemmy.zip for male identifying people to talk about these and all other issues with other men without any judgement or dumbass alpha male bullshit. It is meant to be literally this - a reprieve from the outside world. All of the people posting here hopeless and alone is why this place exists now.

Then again, have you seen reality?

My best friend spent a week in the hospital with a life-threatening condition. Besides the almost dying part, it was the most relaxing and life-refocusing event of their adult life and they're grateful to have experienced it. A forced reset and some compulsory solitude can be a blessing sometimes.

Were I to ever go to prison, I think I would personally love to get some solitary confinement time.

So jelly 😌

Therapy just wants you to be back as a member of society. I don't like society. It just sees be as a part of the economic machine. A stone to be squeezed for blood.

Therapy, trying to make you seem ok with the absolute bullshit you have to deal with which you know is wrong.

If things didn't get bad, I could absolutely see myself saying the same thing.

Here’s my thing with therapy. I know the issue, i know what’s wrong with me, and I know what I’m supposed to do to fix it, i just don’t. I can’t see how therapy will help beyond what I’ve got

Weak men can't admit to their faults nor face their shortcomings, lackings and fears. Entire sections of the internet have been devoted to allowing men to avoid reality and remain immature...

I think I'd rather be lost at sea than be anywhere near any portion of our current civilization.

Depends on which is cheaper tbh.

Have you tried going to therapy?

Of course I've tried going to, there's a sea.

Would pay to "get lost at sea for 29 days".

As someone in n therapy. Sure, yes. Its not great.

I just go camping or backpacking out of data range. But his way works too.
