This but unironically.
I have talked to therapists. They have no real life experience or empathy. Bar is much better choice.
Trains work too.

The main problem with "becoming useless" is, that high value people around you still have an expectation of an exact opposite.
While it might get rid of parasites, it will also show people who believe in mutual investment, that you're not a good investment for them either.
And what is dating if not a long term mutual investment?
so a priest, a lawyer, and a retard walk into a bar, and all of them start drinking together.
for the first hour, the priest is full-on bitching about some scandals involving the church.
for the next hour, the lawyer is telling this terrible story about a guilty as hell defendant that he had to work with.
finally the two turn to the retard. "How's your week been? You've been real quiet."
the retard is visibly uncomfortable.
"I'm not going to be charged for this, am I? I only brought enough money for drinks."
"charged for what, man?"
"I've heard therapy is real expensive!"
