Leo man just told me to not reading psychology articles / books because i don't have basic knowledge on that kind of subject.

Which i'm actually not reading heavy journal that those psychiatrists do anyway. Just some books for everybody even those who aren't doing nothing in the field.

And i totally have been talking with a friend , and he's a psychiatrist and ask him bunches things that i don't fully understand.

I'm reading it and asking the expert about things that i need to know cause i'm a caregiver. And i want to understand more about whats goin on and how to deal with it, so i dig lots of infos.

Yet he told me as if i'm trying to be an expert for reading those. Like, really?

unless you are not diagnosing him every other day- where is the problem?

keep up with the reading. ?

what's next? is going to tell you whom you may or may not talk to?

knowledge is power!

There's no way i'm going to diagnose anything. Hence why i talked to my psychiatrist friend and see other legit psychiatrists / psychologist for that. And asking them things that i as a caregiver need to understand.

I'm bummed actually.

I meant i need infos and it's important to me and my family.

I don't know i just kinda grasp such strong stigma from his part.

Not sure if i'm going to talk to him as i used to after this. I'm probably too opinionated for him.

That even he would debate even lil things i said.

Like he doesn't like me to know anything and doesn't wanna hear anything else than my moan and see anything else than me naked. It pissed me off.

Aand yesss, keep up the reading! Haha

I fucking hate ignorant and arrogant Leo's who have yet to find their calling.....they will bring you down to their level any way they can.

Dump his ass a pick up your books.....

I actually read a funny article that Aquarians are addicted to video games and reading books....haha

Not gonna lie
I was all cool and basically just telling stories about a man who got caged for years because of schizophrenia and treated like as if he wasn't a human anyway. And how i feel sad for that but i'm glad he's all free now and got back to college and i'm so impressed by his talent in art.

Then telling him how it's too bad that the stigma about mental illness is still way too strong here in our country.

Then boom!

Those weird words came out from him right quick.

He debated everything i said, which in other way validating my point but somehow he made it like his thoughts and opinions are one step better ahead.

I tried to still all calm. But he yelled then.

And in the end he was the one who quit the talk cause he doesn't want to "argue". Like huh?

Then few mins after he tried to ask me for some sexy time. I think it's time to drop his ass indeed.

while I hate it when people give me advice on not to read,

I have to agree that all the psychological books I've read in the past had nothing but entertinment, MAYBEs and confusion. and in talk I see lots of people who use labels from those books for complex patterns. seems to be an attraction for show-offers.

caregiving? the natural way. somewhat compassion for the others. somewhat boundary, somewhat compassion for self. somewhat boundary.

Maybe it just dug up some bad memories for him. Psychology is very sketchy ground but you know your interest in it is genuine, so no point walking on eggshells around him or anyone who has their own problems with it.
Could be that. When i told him about another genius person who has a severe mental disorder, he said that he has seen the same thing when he was a kid. When i asked him to tell me more about that, he said that it's unecessary and he doesn't wanna talk about it.

And what bums me out the most is he sounds like really stigmatized the mental illness thing.

Actually that makes me feel uncomfortable.
how deeply involved are you with him?

i have only had one experience with this kind of attitude - it was high-level insecurity on his part ...he would ridicule my books and everything i associate with reading. needless to say that chapter was over in a jiffy.

have you tried talking about this with him? although, i sense he would be defiant and dismissive about it ....

Not that deep, just been talking and such.

It seems like most of the times i tried to talk about him outside the sex talk, he always tried to throw another debate session. Which i don't mind, but he always been the one who sounded mad and all.

Tell him to mind his own business and keep reading !

Does he read much ?

If not, get him a book on the Leo male ego

😛
😛

The talk started with me asking him what books that he likes to read. And he told me a book that he currently has been reading on. Which is cool.

Then when the psychology stuff popped up. He told me that he doesn't want to read that kind of book and messed up his mind with crazy things.

Soooo

Leos trying to advice you because they think they know better SHOCKER 😆

I love Leos but they can be so lame sometimes..

If they told me that, I would read twice as much and especially in front of them, sharing details and summaries....

Well, nobody is qualified enough to tell you what's best for you but you 🙂
Well i think i can confirm that somehow. There are times when he just actually agreed about things i said, but he just said it in a way "better" way.

It's hard actually lol. Cause it would be constant battle between us. Competing and all.

The only time we don't really compete was just when it's about sex. But still the heat was there, but more like passionately sexy as heck.

Just make a deal with him that if he promises not to arsey about his issues, you promise not to be arsey about the books. Then you both get to laugh at it. There's a way to go away defusing the situation by being the example of chill you want to see in the other person and I think you know that much. After that he probably will share what's going on with him in his own time.
He said that he doesn't want to continue the discussion. And so i said ok.

He kinda back to his playful flirty way with kisses and such. And i did the same thing, but i still kinda bummed haha, i can't lie

Be very careful though, he might trying to gaslight you though.

Plus, telling you to not read psychological.. I might be very wary of this person though.

any man that discourages you to read is weird and something is wrong with him. lol



my man knows i read relationship stuff, on forums like this and he just shakes his head but never discourages me.

i have to slap my own wrist now ....there is a certain genre of book i am allergic to; and can get quite an arrogant attitude about if somebody tries to make me read that. i associate these books with money making brainwashing. .maybe it's the same with him?
click to expand

Probably. But i think it's not the first time that he react that way about psychology. But yet the book that he currently reading on is a self-improvement kind of book. But not too heavy i think.

Oh and i didn't try to make him read my books. Thats just his reaction when i told him i read those.

He is so vocal about things he likes and he doesn't like.

Yea...like that's kinda the way they roll, to have at least some say in a matter. He might be a little challenged by your intrests too I think as silly as it sounds... cute but maybe annoying if taken too far too. More subtle validation maybe of some help to ease his fiery will to defend his throne and crown. lol. Also jealous of good sex! Ah, I'm gonna be greateful for your good sex life so I receive mine, hopefully soon. AGH LOL
