Question for yez

Does anyone actually like being psychoanalysed?

Depends on who's doing it, but usually - yes. It's always interesting to discover new ways in which one doesn't work as one though. [Admittedly, I spent rather a lot of time staring at the inside of my head as is; having someone else poke around doesn't seem that strange.]

Why?

[shoobear]

For the record, I like psychoanalysing myself. It's healthy. But for someone else to pry into my brain and my business it'd better bloody well be for some benefit, not for dirt digging/own curiousity/to make me uncomfortable/todig as deep as possible to find stuff to criticise me about.

Rargh.

If that's what they're doing, just make up something entertaining - and see how consistent an illusion you can create. 8)

Unfortunately the person in wuestion had a preconception about what my answers should be, and I had to get them right. Mucking around with it prolonged it. Ah well.

Me! Me!

It always fascinates me to see the world through other people's eyes, and since I'm constantly psychoanalysing people (including myself) it interests me to hear what other people come up with while doing the same.

I suspect that if the psychoanalysis is not somewhat uncomfortable, it ain't doing what you want it to. Assuming, of course, that this is psychoanalysis that -you volunteered- for to begin with....Otherwise, its not psychoanalysis, its harassment.

[shoobear]

The psychoanalysis was forced on me, interrogation-style. I didn't play nicely, which I suspect prolonged it. Fully not my happy place.

That's a rather nasty intrusion - one which is likely to generate a rather harsh response.
