Well yeah, subjective honesty is useful in a lot of social interactions. But this isn’t lying to your boss or teacher or whatever. This is lying to your therapist. They have very little authority over you and an official interest in your wellbeing. It might be a good idea to lie if you are actually a suicide risk and don’t want to get institutionalized or if you are actively planning a crime which isn’t covered by confidentiality. But otherwise, you’re hurting yourself by not letting them effectively work on your problems.
Hmm I wonder how the people in the little mid huts manage to live without bills, debts, mortgages, streaming services, Walmart… But yeah… You keep doing exactly what you’re supposed to do and we’ll both watch it all burn.
yeah, I wonder how they do that with their lack of modern medical treatment where the common flu is lethal and can wipe out their entire village. But yeah… You keep making up bullshit to troll with and I’ll keep pointing out flaws in whatever foolishness you vomit out.
Idk. I lived half my life honestly and I was kicked down and passed by alot.
when I started to not tell the truth (not so much lie, just not whole truths) I started getting much further in life.

Oh sure. If you gauge success by the definition provided by capitalism then yeah, being more like a sociopath is beneficial.
being able to feed, clothe, and shelter myself and my family is my definition of success.
paying my debts on time and not living paycheck to paycheck is also a metric of success for me.
I can’t imagine any other world where those metrics aren’t used to determine success. capitalist or not.
if wanting my family to be cared for makes me a sociopath, then so be it.

Might come down to what direction you want to go far in, I think.
