It does feel a little like blind faith since my T gives so little in the way of himself. I don't have any real idea of what he thinks of me, other than how he has described me: atypical, lonely, depressed. Once he said I was brilliant but I don't know if he meant it. He has told me that I view myself as unlovable, which to me insinuates that he thinks maybe I'm not unlovable? If he knew how much I pick apart everything he says he likely wouldn't speak again! :/
So yeah, when I know so little of what he thinks, it is a bit like groping in the dark. I'm always hoping he likes me, but I never really know. I won't dare ask, either, for fear of some ambiguous answer that would crush me.
