Probably why people here don't find me super warm and fuzzy even when I think I am being smothering

This actually helps to hear, so thank you. I tend to think of what it would mean if I said something, rather than thinking of what someone else might mean by it. Like maybe Dr. T thinks he's being very warm, by his standards, but it feels cold to me. Because I would express it differently. Sort of like how he and I define "love" differently. So maybe this is a good thing to discuss with him.
