With T I want to be the one that needs her most, that she cares about the most, that she worries about the most, that she is proud of the most, that she loves, the most, etc. For me her laughing with another client hurt this "most" because she has told me that she thinks I'm funny. Like you can't find more than one person funny. I really annoy myself sometimes.

I'm so sorry to hear you didn't get the same support as your brother. I think we've been raised to think that an attachment figure (a parent or a T) can't make equal space for more than one person.
I totally sympathise on the laughing thing. My T says I'm funny and I feel like that's MY thing, so I'd be the same as you.
