Yikes. It bothers me that my T might think that I'm not interested or curious about her life, because I never ask anything personal, and that it might offend her -- when actually there are things I'd love to ask her about her life, (nothing scary, just typical conversational things that you'd naturally ask when getting to know someone,) but I worry that she wouldn't want to reveal that information and that I'd be overstepping a boundary and get 'told off'! Now I don't know whether I'm more worried about offending her with my 'lack of interest' or of asking something and hitting a wall!
