Leave Babble? Why?
Therapists have a way of taking the fun out of everything, don't they? If you want to really impress him with your ego strength, how about telling him to butt out (ha ha).
I suffer from being too polite at times too. Once I worked at a company dominated by very rude 20-something males. One day in the lab I just lost it and said to the pack leader, "Shut up, Joe, shut up, just shut up!" I waited, expecting the universe to end or something, but to my surprise everyone applauded. My outburst became the topic of good-natured teasing forever afterward. (Unfortunately that golden moment didn't last, and I was driven to the brink of nervous breakdown before I finally quit. That was just not the place for a thin-skinned little girly like me.)
