When I ended with my previous tdoc, I told him I'd miss him, and he said he'd miss me, too.

Current tdoc has directly told me he likes me. I have some social anxiety, and I was talking about a classmate and whether or not I thought she'd like to be my friend, and he said, "It sounds like she likes you. I like you, too."

I know none of this liking or missing is the same thing as a friend liking or missing me. I've been encouraged to take social risks and not to self-isolate when depressed so I can get "real-world" social validation outside my sessions.
