I don’t want “therapy”. I think the concept is shit.

in other words, you refuse to get help. So don’t say “I don’t refuse to do anything”.

No, I said I don’t want therapy. I think my second statement makes clear that I don’t see it as “help”.

To be fair, it’s expensive; they only know about you what you want them to know; you only get an hour at a time to talk;
and they only (pretend to) care about you so long as you pay them.

I would say a better solution is to have a friend to talk to about stuff like that, but I’m one to talk because I don’t have one of those either.

Friends are good, but they don’t necessarily know about the things psychology/psychiatry that a therapist would know.

Not all therapists are psychologists or psychiatrists.

True, but many are. I am pretty that those whom are not, are required to at least get some training in psychology/psychiatry.

Your letters highlight that you have no idea what really happened.

that is correct, I don’t know what happened. No one does, yet the media(at least the local news that I was watching) acts like it does know what happened and that what happened was racism.

Wouldn’t that be a justification for writing to the media, rather than writing to the people in the story? Maybe I’m missing something.

I suppose I could have written to the media. I just decided to write the people involved.

btw, you do understand I didn’t really send them letters, right?

You asked for opinions regarding your letters, I gave mine. Whether you actually sent them or not, wouldn’t affect my opinion of their content.

Okay.

They are structured like “if this, then…” else “if this, then…”. I’m not sure what compels giving advice in situations we know little about.

I don’t know what is wrong with structuring them that way when I don’t know what really happened.
