That sounds like exactly the "bullshit stereotype lifted straight from a movie" that you're trying to pin on others.
Real life isn't a Billy Joel song. All that 99 out of 100 people need from a bartender is "What can I get you?" followed by getting it.
Even more bizarrely, do you honestly think that a stranger who is drunk and oversharing qualifies as a friend? Do you think therapists have patients, or do you think they've just got a lot of super cool friends they hang out with all day?
