I would think about doing it too. I feel horrible saying this. I hate few things more than feeling like I'm being manipulative or attention-seeking in that way. But the idea of T tending to me physically is almost too much.

This is pretty eye-opening, actually. It makes it really clear to me why many Ts tend to not offer comfort, especially with certain kinds of issues. Which can seem cold and cruel. But not offering comfort to people that are hurting may actually be a difficult act of professionalism and love on their part. Some, I'm sure, just don't want to. But it is in our best interest that we don't know for sure. Offering gratification is not helping. Ouch.
