Interesting I feel the opposite. I want T to feel both proud at my accomplishments and disappointment at my mistakes. As my T, I know he will always be understanding of my mistakes but it makes me work harder. I have him in a parental role. Maybe that's why it's different? I want to succeed to make him proud and then work harder at my mistakes not to disappoint him.
