i took a group therapy class. at first, i thought it was kinda cool, but recently i’ve stopped attending.
[1] some of these folks have way more problems than i do.
[2] it really boiled down to these kids couldn’t relate to me. they were undergrads and i was just about finishing grad school. for example, I’d try to tell them where I wanted to take my career — a high-paying job — and they virtually unanimously responded, “do what you like!” (yeah well music don’t pay sh*t). or if i told them just HOW MUCH i travelled for student (like 35 countries), two of them remarked, “well, airlines have the secret frequent flyer and the super secret ff card,” and i tried to tell them, “dude – i have that card,” but they just laughed at it.
this is why i have difficulty relating with most people. I’ve done alot of the things they want to do — skydive, visit Africa, Brazil, Australia, etc., scuba dive, surf, sharkcage dive — but when i try to tell them what i REALLy want in life is to own a company via MBA, demonstrated leadership, and making a good product to market,….all i get are crickets.
anyone else have this problem? (so that’s why i stopped going, cause these folks with their emotional issues are not connecting with me)
