[QUOTE=Skies;


Conversations here about people considering themselves as "disordered" or "defective" or "too needy" or "too much" prompted me to post this. I don't like to think of anyone like that, and I've felt disconcerted after hearing others talk like this even though I've thought of myself like that at times, including recently.

I came across this thread and wanted to thank you for posting it. Thank you too for the other posts here. It has been very timely and validating for me right now.

Needy and noncompliant are heavy and scary. This thread and the responses have really helped me.

Thank you!
