HAPPILY NEUROTIC


I tried to read Scott Peck's The Road Less Traveled, but so much of it didn't apply and there were so many books to read... I did truly appreciate one thing he said. As a psychiatrist or psychologist (whichever he is), two types of people sought his counsel--neurotics and the personality disordered.

He said that he could rarely help the personality disordered because they would say that they didn't have anything wrong with them. It was everyone else. The personality disordered didn't take responsibility for anything, and the neurotics took responsibility for everything. So... I have always been and will always be happily neurotic.
