I didn't think I had the guts for the extreme mentally ill population and I thought I'd want to kill the boring neurotics going over the same points endlessly.

I'm sure I really shouldn't be a psychologist (it was a tongue in cheek comment). If I wanted to do that, I would have become a divorce attorney. But I do enjoy watching people's neuroses from a distance. Does that make me a bad person?
