Hi Suga, reading about your relationship with your parents it sounds like you didn't get what you needed and you are still searching for it? Even now you write that you don't feel that anyone listens to you (except T) and there aren't many people who care about you. I have found that we acquire behaviors/beliefs etc. from our childhood of neglect which set us up to continue on and recreate distant relationships, etc. which leave us lonely. I used therapy to find these beliefs and behaviors so that I could work through them and begin behaviors which would allow me to get close to others.
