I really agree with what you say here-- it's hard, but I was thinking today that part of what Ts can do is help us, ultimateily, learn to comfort ourselves. Sometimes doing it for someone helps them to learn, but ultimately, they have to find a way of doing it for themselves. It can be very hard, though.
(Hope I didn't misunderstand this, too.)
