Privacy is a big part of personal healing.

This man had two important health appointments on the same day, so the scheduling got a bit challenging.

His parents suggested a workaround, but he didn’t feel comfortable with their suggestion.

AITA for reschedueling doctor’s appointment?

I’m a 24-year-old man living with my parents.

I had a neurology appointment scheduled for 10 a.m. to go over my results, but my neurologist had an emergency and had to reschedule.

The new options were either 1 p.m. or 4 p.m.

This man also has a therapy session scheduled around that time.

The issue is I already have a therapy session from 2 to 3 p.m.

It’s a phone session.

The neurology appointment is in person in Manhattan and I live in Queens.

Problem is if I cancel the therapy session, I get charge a big fee.

His parents suggested finding a quiet place to do the therapy call before going to his medical appointment.

My parents insisted I just find a quiet place to take the therapy call and then head to the neurologist afterward.

But I genuinely don’t think I’ll be able to find a space quiet or private enough to talk about sensitive, personal topics.

A coffee shop is definitely out of the question, and I don’t think a park would be much better.

His parents ganged up on him.

When I brought this up, they got upset and ganged up on me, saying I was just looking for an easy way out, that I’m not listening to them and that nothing I could possibly talk about in therapy would be too private to say outside.

Am I wrong for not wanting to do my therapy session in public?

To me, it seems weird and not ideal, especially when talking about deeply personal things somewhere strangers might overhear.

AITA?

I don’t think he’s being unreasonable.
