I’m curious for how long has this been a pattern for you, Ruby.

Did you ‘look up to’ teachers or other adults growing up? Did they distance from you once you became overly needy?

You have mentioned a few of these incidents happening with the managers at this and past jobs.

I’m curious where this pattern started. It might help you to write out (you don’t have to do it here) the order of these fixations turned to meltdown triggers. Have there been many? How have you moved forward from them? Was it to find a new target of obsession?
