It would depend on how I said it. I sometimes use phrases that T1 uses a lot with kind of a sly look and he knows that I am sort of poking fun at him. He laughs. If I said it seriously, he would ask if I felt angry.

If you are unsatisfied with talking about your unemployment, and thing that your T has nothing to offer there, what do you want to talk about? For me, talking about unemployment might be a way that I gauge T's response to see if they are trustworthy and safe before I got to topics that feel more scary to talk about. It has sometimes helped me to try to figure out what it is that I haven't felt safe enough to share.
