There are terms I've had psych professionals use with me in a clinical context that lots of people use in casual conversation in ways that range from counterproductive to abusive.

Also people who are insistent that everybody needs to have a therapist their whole life, including you, aren't necessarily respectful of what you've been through or what treatment you have sought.

I think there are a lot of power trippy therapists out there and IME non credentialed people who like using those terms are not ppl it's a good idea for me to date.

Also I think astrology is just dumb and completely uninteresting. Now, if someone wanted to ask my favorite alchemical process, that's different (it's rubedo, obviously).

That sounds more like a theseist. Narcissus didn't want to use online dating, he actually didn't want to date anyone. People kept asking him out and he always said no. According to Conon he "rejected Eros", which is a fucked up religious way to say he was aroace.

There are times where an optical illusion makes it appear that the planet Mercury is in retrograde (when a planet reverses its orbit)

According to OP it's a play on the term "in retrograde" which is used in astrology and astronomy
