Thanks Sannah, I know you're right. But I'm trying to imagine myself saying it, and I feel like I wouldn't be able to admit I had such needs. Not so much because of embarrassment, more in a way that I'd doubt they even should exist.

It's weird, because I know for sure I have these massive needs and I can admit to it here...but if I had my T in front of me I'd start convincing myself "Don't be silly, you're lying. T won't understand what you're talking about because what you're saying is ludicrous" type thinking.
