Have you tried just simply telling your therapist exactly these 3 things that you need?
Does this website give you anything you need?
Remember even a stranger can care about you, I know I do.
Have a good day and a great life, they are possible for you!

Thank you Ripose. Your reply made me smile. It feels good to know you care. As for telling my therapist, I'm a little scared of being rejected. I've noticed that CBT therapists tend to be very detached and cold. Even if they are trying to be warm, it still feels very disconnected. I don't know how they'd deal with my desires for love, validation and closeness.
And yes, the site does help a lot. It helps to share my thoughts to others, and receive advice.
