Maybe. But are you protecting yourself from expecting too much, or believing too much? Or protecting your optimistic, self-admiring side (we all have one, and there's nothing wrong with it, actually-- it's one of our strengths) from your more pessimistic, self-denigrating side? Or trying to keep them in a comfortable, or accustomed balance?
Oh-- and by the way-- if some of your qualities mean something to him personally, as I have no doubt that they do-- that means he does have a certain value for them-- maybe not the universal value-- & maybe he's idealizing a bit-- I don't mean to press this on you; maybe he is quite off-- but is it so far-fetched to try them on for size, just provisionally-- or someday?
Don't mind me if I"m completely wrong-- maybe I'm thinking about my own issues--not that my T idealizes me--.
But which post had Daisy's insights?
