“Do you ever have suicidal thoughts?” Is a good example of this.
Do NOT say “doesn’t everyone?” Your psychiatrist will not be as impressed by your ability to understand the human condition as you think
One thing I wish I’d learned earlier in life is that there are certain rules in the world that nobody will tell you, cuz they only work as effective rules when they are unstated.
They exist ~explicitly~ to see if you have the ability to identify them without anyone telling you
Kinda cool how if you’re getting sick you can just be like “no, body, you cannot succumb to illness until two days from now at 4pm” and your body will be like “okay”
For most of my adult life I thought “blacking out” from drinking was just some sort of metaphor, but it turns out people are actually losing their memories…?
