I'm glad you don't feel bad about it. How would anyone learn without examples? It doesn't mean you are particularly strange, just that your case demonstrates a point your T obviously wants to get across to the group. My T is talking about writing a paper on how difficult it is to treat a staunch behaviorist! I teach and I use examples about family and friends (anonymously, of course) all the time. It helps students understand how the material applies to real life examples.
I agree with Sky - feel special instead!
