Yes, more than any T I have ever seen. The articles susannahsays posted resonate with me as well. I think receiving reassurance has the potential to keep us dependent instead of forcing us to sit with our uncomfortable feelings and learn how to self-soothe and build up our sense of self-esteem where we no longer require that external reassurance. In my experience, not having access to reassurance is what forced me learn to live without it and become emotionally self-sufficient. I used to want reassurance much like you describe, but now it doesn't even occur to me to want it or ask for it.
