I am seeing a therapist / certified counselor to treat my depression about my depressing work life for this past 2 months.

However, I am always constantly keep being fed blue pills throughout our sessions. Anyone notice a similar theme here?

For example, I spent my evenings after work to study GRE, workout, grocery shopping, and cook healthly food. I spend my weekend to get a massage, study for my certification, and work my weekend shift. I just got accepted to a graduate school to a program I wanted to study in. I am going to be working full time while attending the school on the weekend. My therapist responses is that I am actively avoiding social life and romantic relationship due to fear.

I am also being asked about missing emotional connection with a significant other and ask if I would be regret had I not initiate more social connections.

I tend to see the counselor's point, but I never feel like I am actively avoiding people. I just don't put myself in a position to meet a lot of people because I find it boring. I don't go to parties, clubs, or bar. I spend my quiet evening reading books. I just dislike the stupid random conversation, especially with a self-absorb women who constantly need to check her mirror for makeup and being hit by random chad every 5 seconds. I hate to dress up in an overpriced suit and an expensive car that I have to slave myself to pay off just to impress someone at a party. It's too pretentious lol. Also just every time I tried, I never had any meaningful conversation with those women at all..

I am seeing a counselor just because I need rant about my hopeless and long hours career. It's depressing. But apparently the depression is due to my refusal to face reality and connect with others???

What am I missing here guys???
