I guess from my parents I didn't get my needs met. I got the basics, food,water, shelter, clothes, etc. But what was lacking was them taking an interest in MY interests, wants, etc. My feelings went unnoticed and were rarely validated. In Therapy I guess what my T sees is my "Pouty" face, also I tend to make myself look smaller by kind of shrinking myself into the couch. I hope that answers your question. Any yes I saw your thread and I have already replied.
