friends with psychologist?

[Anonymous]

I have an acquaintence who's a psychologist, and he's an interesting person. I keep thinking we could be friends, but often when we're having a regular conversation, I feel like he's over-analyzing what I say. I guess it must just be his personality... Anyone ever have a psychologist friend like this?

My mother is a therapist, as are many of her friends, and yes, they over-analyze everything. I think most therapists probably have a natural tendency to analyze and then their training only reinforces that.

I don't know. I have a friend who's a therapist and I don't feel as if she judges me at all. In fact, she's definitely more dysfunctional than I am in many ways, so if anything I judge her!

i'm a therapist and i analyze everything. That's why I became a therapist.

I analyze everything. It's not judging, though.

No I have not, but I would think the same thing as well.

Like he would be self-diagnosing me internally.

I would think that is cool however...Kinda like free therapy.

I don't know how you feel however.
