Sorry I misinterpretted you. Now that I read it again, I can see that you're even more similar to me than I first realised.

> Am I intruding too much? Am I being a bother?

Wow, this is me to a T (just the letter T, not short for Therapist). It's basically how I live my life. I don't want to be a bother to anyone. Even when I am s, I don't want to call my T and bother him. Although I'm sure he would want me to, knowing it and *knowing* it are two totally different things.


> “You’re too demanding. You wear people out.” That’s what my mother told me.

I'm not sure how much work you've done with your childhood, but in all likelihood, this is totally untrue. She's made those into you statements, when they probably should have been I statements. "I don't have enough to give you. I don't know how to meet your needs."

Even when you realise this in your head, it will take a lot of work to believe it in your heart too. Or at least I guess it will. I still don't believe my untrue childhood beliefs.
