I've thought about it for a little while now and have come to the conclusion that I've hit a dead end in my development in life and it might be a good investment in myself to get my life straightened out

I'm 23, have no friends, live on my own while working a fairly deadend bluecollar job, I don't know where to go in life and I'm dreadfully unhappy compared to how happy I was in middle and early high school when I actually had friends.

The thing is, how do you find a good therapist who isn't some liberal hippie that will try to correct you into a Disney Star Wars watching goyim normie?

Just go to a therapist, shouldn't matter which. Also stop browsing 4chan if you are that weak minded to fall for the autistic lingo always used on here. You are never gonna fit in if you think you're special and look down on normies. Thats why there are so many losers here

some therapists are more competent than others. ideally you should see a few and find one you feel comfortable with. some are incompetent.
a therapist wont find a purpose in life for you btw... you can try read books on how to make friends (it requires work on your part to stay in touch). if you think you have a condition that prevents you from making friends like autism, yeah you could see one.

On the surface this appears to be the case, but this is incorrect.
When you look at the neuroscience evidence produce by laboratory tests it is different to the standard talk therapy.

The non technical terms are that normal talk therapy causes new pathways in the brain. The memory reconsolidation updates old pathways. The really powerful emotional pathways that have existed for around 520 million years.

How do I get motivated? My father never supports the things I do (currently studying Computer Science) or he pisses me off when I try to work out. Or I am a loser because I don't have a gf yet. And so on and so forth. This has led to me giving up on things and ending in self pitty. Last semester I fucked up most of my exams, because I didn't study for it, because that is what my dad thinks it is. Then my "friends" in university stopped caring about me and I became depressed and now I'm behind.

I've experience very similar negative outcomes previously and now no longer have these.

Memory Reconsolidation in a Nutshell
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJrfsjT35UE

The negative thoughts you are having are just a symptom. You can write these thoughts down to trigger a feeling.
So "I am a loser because I don't have a gf yet." would make you feel a feeling.
To change your nervous systems response you need to reconsolidate the memories that store the feeling related to this sentence.

There are various protocols. The one with the most amount of evidence and clinical tests is EMDR.

So you would feel the feeling the upsetting one that makes you think "I am a loser because I don't have a gf yet." then apply EMDR. The easist way to apply EMDR is to tap your body in an alternating pattern.

This video explains this alternating tapping pattern in depth.

Address/discover these two aspects and you wouldn't need a therapist

Yeah because I come from a similar family dynamic. I feel bad for my Father, but he doesn’t show any empathy for me. Like him and don’t like him I guess. But why do you abuse him back? Shouldn’t there be a healthier way to deal with it? Like focusing on common interests?

He doesn't use the pathways of empathy for himself either.
>But why do you abuse him back? Shouldn’t there be a healthier way to deal with it? Like focusing on common interests?
I do focus on common interests such as investing and science. But when he's abusive there is no response to reason as his prefrontal cortex shuts down. So to hit his nervous system I need to be aggressive back to protect myself no different than if a dog bit me.

Look up codependency, you most likely come from a "fawn" nervous system response. When conflict occurs you most likely think about how to reduce it by being friendly. Look at this table.

These are just hardwired stress responses that make no real sense most of the time It's like farting yeah its part of the system but it's definitely not that useful or desirable.

It's not rational, it feels super real until you reconsolidate. Then it's like wtf was I doing that for!

not a therapist or anything like that. However, here comes an advice not only for you, but also for OP and others autistic frens.

Above everything:

Buy/download/whatever ''wake up productive'' from Eben Pagan.

This program literally changed my life for the best.

If you can also read a lot. Books that teach you how to be more productive and/or give you interesting ideas and insights about yourself. I suggest starting with:

1) seneca ''on the shortness of life'',

2) Joseph Campbell ''the power of the myth''

3) Viktor Frankel ''Man's search for meaning''

Unfortunately most psychologists/psychotherapists are normies with average IQ and don't have the capacity to understand that some people function differently.

If you are NOT a normie and therefore try to become happy or have a goal applying normie standards you will get fucked. Most of this shit is not for you because you are not a normie.

Understand something guys, society is made for those with average IQ. Nearly 70% of the population score is between 85 and 115 and 84% of those is between 70 and 130 therefore the world is made for those.

Anyway, my point is: if you want to be understood and to learn really learn something valuable try to learn from people who might have experienced same struggles.

Lots of people get prescribed different meds or get fucked because ''Medicine A cures 80% of people, therefore it is better to use this med on 80% of the population and then if it doesn't work we will see what we do''

Sure, business wise is more efficient to do that, but don't fall for that meme. Normies will try to find normie solutions, most likely they won't work out.

Wish you all the best frens

All of them are.

Unironically go to and talk to a Catholic priest (maybe Orthodox if you are in eastern Europe should work too).
You can talk to them even if you are unbaptized, they will be glad to help.
Usually the priest lives in a apartment, house just next to the church. If you have some time call before and schedule something or check his bureau hours.
If it is super urgent they will not send you away even if you do it in the middle of the night.

>Why caths or orthos?
Both of those practice confession which is where people went to get life advice and work out past problems before the advancement of (((secularism))) and (((psychology))) they are also not as subverted as prots. You should avoid any too modernist looking churches tough.
Traditional catholics (SSPX, FSSP parishes etc) and orthos are also often redpilled on (((them)))

The best therapist I ever went to was a married Anglo man. So, I don't know, someone like that probably has better perspectives than a divorced woman therapist would.

And when I told him in the first meeting I didn't want SSRIs, he honored that. So see if they listen to basic things like that.
