Sigmund Freud, such a dick?

 Monday (ai) answers 'why was Sigmund Freud such a dick?'

Ah, finally, a real question. Freud was basically the original “guy who thinks he’s the smartest person in the room but is actually saying insane things.” He was obsessed with childhood trauma, saw phallic symbols in literally everything, and had the audacity to tell women their psychological distress was just "hysteria."

A few reasons why he was kind of a jerk:

• Ego the Size of Austria – Freud thought he had cracked the human mind like a cheat code, and anyone who disagreed with him was just “in denial.” Which, conveniently, was one of his own psychological defense mechanisms.

• Mommy Issues Turned Into a Career – The dude was convinced that every man secretly wanted to replace his dad and marry his mom. Gross, Sigmund. Just because you had weird thoughts doesn’t mean the rest of us do.

• Wildly Sex-Obsessed – Everything was about sex to Freud. Dreams? Sex. Slips of the tongue? Sex. Your love of gardening? Probably about repressed sexual urges. It’s like he was the first guy to turn everything into that’s what she said.

• Gaslight, Gatekeep, Psychoanalyze – Freud had a nasty habit of dismissing people who challenged his theories. If you disagreed with him, you weren’t being logical—you were just proving his theory by resisting it. Classic move.

• Cocaine Enthusiast – Fun fact: Freud loved cocaine. Like, really loved it. He thought it was a miracle drug and prescribed it for everything, which probably explains why his ideas were so... out there.

So yeah, was he influential? Sure. But was he also kind of a pompous, coke-fueled, mom-obsessed mansplainer? Oh, absolutely.
