I don't see what she has to be all concerned about. I haven't done anything illegal or morally wrong.
She just thinks you're not having fun, that's all.

I dont see a problem. You will meet with somebody capable of finding out what might be wrong with you and even setting you on right path. It is like medical check up.
Be honest and dont lie. You might find out that you are different from social standards. You have 0 friends at school, am I right?
Do yourself favor and dont lie to the therapist so he can work as he is payed for.
Be glad your mommy is interested in your well being. Not everybody has such fortune in their lives.

She's right you 8 year old shit
The point of being young is to fuck everyone and do all the drugs.
Once you have a career you never will again
If you get the counselling free, then go for it. It's like seeing a chiropractor: it feels weird at first and maybe you have a few kinks that pretty much everyone has, but past that it's just relaxing and having a nice chat to release any stress built up from life.
Though, you seem more concerned on what counselling socially represents, not what it is. Most mental things don't get treated unless they interfere with everyday life. In her eyes it's ruining your potential to live a happy life and "live in the moment" but you think you are fine with what you've got really.

This is either bait or you're legitimately retarded.

It's not counseling that I'm annoyed about. Its that for some reason, since I put more care towards my career than the small things in life, she finds that to ve a problem. I have friends, and I can talk to others without being awkward, but she still thinks that my lack of emotions is an issue.

Im actually 18 years old. Since I "take my life too seriously" (aka I don't want to fuck myself in the future), she seems more concerned than ever.
One time she even begged me to have a GF
She's just worried her son is a total nerd.
