The other day I went to see my psychologist and the visit was going ok, but she said something that really bothered me. I was talking about how I hated shopping and I don't buy lots of clothes, etc. but that I was buying very expensive designer eyeglass frames and also top of the line prescription sunglasses.
She replied well you said you were vain -???? Never have I felt that way. I hate my physical appearance and always have. One of the worst things I struggled with when younger. I remember telling her that the only thing ONLY thing I liked about myself was that I was tall and slender.
Why did she interpret that to mean I am vain? I was a bit taken aback but next week I am going to set her straight.
I don't dress up when I go to see her. Otherwise we seem to get along alright but sometimes seems very superficial as though we just discuss my everyday life and problems.
