Reading this the next day, my takeaway is that while you may not have intended to “diss”, you sure as fuck did it anyway.

You directly compared therapy to snake oil (palm reading). Then by implication determined that since you were average (and hence normal) no one else would need therapy unless they were, by implication abnormal.
