And two, if there's only one person soothing you, they will eventually reach burn out and have no soothing left to give you.

PK, these things are very true, which just makes life harder to deal with (and relationships even more terrifying). I have worried for you before because of your dependence on only one person. Maybe with some anxiety medication and friends you can reach out to, it will help to balance things out.
