The feeling of needing your T is one of the scariest things for a lot of people (myself included). Many feel we're not worthy of being cared for, or don't trust that depending on someone won't hurt us at some point, or a bunch of other fears.

But, people need each other. It's how we're wired. Being fiercely independent (as I always prided myself on being) simply doesn't work forever. The other people in our lives have a right to show us that they care about us. And we have a right to be cared for.

It can take a while, but if you can practice being just a little needy with someone totally safe, like your T, you can learn how to be interdependent with others. Not dependent, but mutually involved.

We're all worthy of being cared for. Truly, we are.
