I wasn't being sarcastic at all. What do you mean not surprised? (humor?) Maybe this is a case where honesty sounds like sarcasm because straightforward utterances are used so frequently in sarcastic cultures (like the one were in) to mock others.
I wrote that because I sensed that tetrix was having validation issues. And when you have a therapist who isn't really helping you then you have to trust yourself.
You can't rely on the therapist to say, "oh no, I'm not a liar, I'm here to help you."
On the other hand sometimes its still nice when your perceptions are validated. Such as in this case where the question of dead flowers literally made a top ten list of signs of a bad therapist.
I have my own style but I assure you it has nothing to do with sarcasm.
