A whole lot of people just don't have great EQ or IQ and they're just frustrating to deal with overall.
Maybe the new therapy-speak language is different but the underlying problems remains the same. Whether or not I use therapy speak, I'm not going to continue being friends with people who have are/become more pain than pleasure.
There’s also a real conflict of interest in therapy where the therapist has a financial interest in pleasing the client but no stake in the wellbeing of the client’s acquaintances (other than the value they provide to the client). Hence empowering them with generic therapy speak around boundaries seems like somewhat of a logical outcome of that (and anecdotally what I’ve observed in my own experiences with therapy and in others who go to therapy)

This is two-way street. A friend recently called me out on (to me) benign behavior, which now makes me feel like I have have to walk on egg shells when I interact with them. I am (almost) sure they didn't mean me to take this as seriously as I have, but I feel how this expired has pushed me to the very edge of the campfire and I am thinking about walking over to the next campfire to see how other people are doing.
