@burner @Decayable @Sui @ImperialAgent @Codeki @Jean_Philippe_Micheaux @Mynona That sucks about the childhood friendship thing. Therapists are more than a little broken, I've found and perhaps not the best peers for a youngster, as well meaning as they may be.

Your dad sounds like one of the good sorts. Good on you, no one ever got good at a skill by magic or in giving up at the first sign of things not turning out as planned. Intuition, if you're blessed with it should be cultivated. I'm quite jealous of people with musical talents, I love my tunes but am shit at making music. That's why about 40% of my friends are musically inclined in one way or another and damned good at what they do. Vicarious living 😃.
