Is going to see a pyschologist uncommon and/or weird if no one else but me thinks I need the help?

Asked by aneedleinthehayy (1198points) March 27th, 2009

I seem to have this fixed idea that only people who are very clearly messed up can go see a therapist and that people with only minor personal issues don’t need to see a professional… I find psychology fascinating and would love to interact with a psychologist on a weekly basis to help with my personal issues but I’m worried that people will assume I’m some kind of attention whore or faker or drama queen…Do people think that of people who see a psychologist who aren’t visually bonkers?
I kind of feel like my seemingly normal problems might be more deep-rooted and promblematic and I’m hoping someone other than my neurotic best friend and emotionally distant boyfriend can help me.
