No I am not interested in inauthentic comfort. I am capable of comforting myself if authentic support isn’t available (and if I feel I need comforting from others as often I don’t). I rarely if ever seek comfort from strangers (I sometimes do of course like on PC but that’s infrequent), I seek comfort from people I am close to (my always supportive husband, my daughter, my brother, and my closest friends) so I can’t imagine them being inauthentic with me.

When you have time I’d like to hear more of the story.
