I went in to talk to my shrink today about the usual assortment of personal problems. I’ve been dealing with a lot of new things lately, as life has been changing pretty dramatically all around – my personal life, my work life, my this life, my that life…

I had some concerns about something that I’m not going to discuss here (yes: finally something too personal for the blog), and I wasn’t sure if I was going about solving my problem in the right way.

I asked my shrink, “So… do you think I’m being an asshole about all this?”

Without missing a beat, she replied:

“I think that part of you is an asshole, but I don’t think you’re being an asshole about this… no…”

I loved that. I think I laughed for about a minute.

The best part might have been the completely straight face and nonchalance.

I don’t know – some people might not want a shrink who’s that honest, but I think it’s fabulous.
