I felt next to nothing. This kind of care is what I've longed for and yet when I it was given to me it I felt empty.
What the hell is wrong with me?

Ugh. So relatable. I have a sister-in-law who is significantly older and very maternal/big sisterly, and I want nothing more than for her to pay attention to me and care for me. But then the last time I was at her house, she put a blanket on me when I was lying on the couch, and it kind of made me want to scream and run out the front door. Which is... not normal.
