Middle Management, Customer Service, Mental Health Workers etc mostly feel guilty of this. Ever since i was a child i like being independent and it gives me anxiety when people interfere but it worsened post trauma. I also feel guilty getting people to do things for me in general and it isn't necessary. Not just hate being controlled or babied but hate making anyone else's life. Weird because some people think they are helping.
The Office US doesn't even attempt to execute the mockumentary format with the discipline. Parks and Recreation just feels like Americans having their delusional Obama era optimism. In the Office the entire point is coworkers are people you are stuck with and only Tim and Dawn really connect with the rest being the best of a bad situation but American audiences seem to need the characters to be found families.
Predators and Parasites.
My biggest fear is being unprepared. It's ok when you're a teen or even in your twenties to be bad at sex since there is a lower expectation but the age increasing gives me anxiety that when i am finally with someone it's not going to be two awkward 16/18 year olds with nothing to compare but fully adults with real expectations and knowledge. My performance anxiety is increasing.
I was detained for three weeks. My lawful evil, middle class narcissist psychiatrist kept saying "help" as if being imprisoned, poked and prodded, having every word used against you. When i was finally released (because i faked being happy to get out, Inside i was screaming and raging) she just had to twist the knife/kick me while i was down by saying "It's nice to see you smiling again" (I'd smiled every time i interacted with her until she insulted me) as if she even cared, then "You know some help has to come from you" as i had done nothing and they had done everything or literally anything for that matter.
In the UK at least class is so big and you can go large portions of your life without interacting with someone of a higher class yet when you do there is a distinct lack of empathy and authenticity.
The friction between a grounded, pragmatic father and a passionate, expressive, idea driven child is the heart of the show.
The feeling like you are a disappointment to your dad and accepting at a very young age that you will never be the son he wanted.
I'd kill to have an intuitive in the family. Even in my small town i've been surrounded by ESTP, ESFJ, ISTJ.
No compassion or understanding. Guilty until proven innocent and how does anyone "prove" their sane. Only way out is to wait long enough, be compliant, take all their abuse lying down, go along with their narrative.
I had severe depression and anxiety and the doctor gave me a panic attack just talking to me then used that as proof i needed to stay. She'd already made up her mind before she went into the room. Three weeks in that fucking shithole and just because i was suicidal due to my awful life circumstances. Never talk about suicidal feelings or you will be imprisoned.
Anyone else relate to this? Most mental health workers were actually abusive invalidating EVRYTHING i said, acting like contrarians trying to gaslight me into a toxic positivity cult.
If you are trying to make sense of why traditional talk therapy, psychiatry, and the broader mental health apparatus often feel less like genuine care and more like a tool for social management, behavioural modification, and control, you need to watch it.
The documentary maps out how psychoanalysis and psychological theories weren't just developed to help people heal but were aggressively adopted by corporations, governments, and institutions to engineer public compliance, manage dissent, and reduce human beings into predictable, manageable units.
It exposes how the entire "expert" class learned to reframe systemic problems, economic inequality, completely normal human reactions to abuse and exploitation as individual mental defects that need to be managed by an authorized elite and completely dismantles the illusion that the mental health industry is neutral or purely benevolent. It shows the historical playbook behind why so many practitioners default to gaslighting, pathologizing anyone who pushes back, and treating adult autonomy as a "resistance" problem that needs to be corrected.
If you've been questioning the paternalism, the credentialism, and the endless loops of institutional invalidation, this documentary puts the whole apparatus into sharp, historical focus.
Mental health can be used to criticise anyone for while making yourself look good. You never have to understand other people or society and adapt, just offset your thinking onto an authority above you and all the labour onto people around you.
Their endgame is a culture of Vulcans.
I'm far more likely to be turned on by someone's mind, humour, worldviews, and shared imagination than just purely physical attributes. Bad personality or chemistry turns me off good looking people too. I'm not into most models or celebrities.
