You're definitely not a freak.
I think some of us believe niceness comes at too great a price and/or is not to trusted. All of this is great fodder for discussion in session btw. |

I get annoyed when she is over the top nice. Makes me feel like she is faking it.

don't get annoyed when my T is nice. I really love it, and sometimes I feel like I don't deserve it. Like sometimes I feel like a bad person for doing something and he doesn't judge me at all. It's comforting for me

![]() It would be difficult to believe that someone can be THAT supportive, perfect, or nice all the time, wouldn't it? edit: missed this post before replying: "i think it's more to do with the fact that i don't feel like i deserve niceness." |

I also feel a combination of things regarding any niceties coming from my T...for one, I feel suspicious and slightly irritated. I told my T that while I appreciated his care, I know he will find himself tired of me at some point because I'm difficult and maybe even somewhat challenging. He responded, "you will wear me out." Um - yeah pretty much /:
And also though, while I want my T to care - I almost long for it in theory - once he gives it, it's like it's just too much for me. I cannot contain it. It's so powerful and just more than I imagined (in feeling) so its overwhelming. And the fear of losing it is even more overwhelming ![]() I think deep down, the care from my T hits a raw nerve left exposed from when I was a child. It reminds me of how much I may have missed out on... |

Don't worry, I feel the same way! I get annoyed too, and just want to reject her kindness. Maybe it's because I feel it doesn't fit with ideas I have about myself. Like I think she isn't treating me the way I think I deserve to be treated. So that angers me. That part of myself gets mad that she's being too nice when she shouldn't. Does that resonate with you at all? I've also tried to figure out why I get annoyed with it!
*Edit* Oops, just realized others had already said similar things. ![]() |

This is how it is for me. It makes me feel like my life is pathetic because I don't have people in it who are nice to me, or at least the people "closest" to me are not nice and it just hurts that T, a professional who provides a service, is nicer than my personal connections who "should" be nice to me. It isn't annoying to me, but it hurts. Over the last few years, I have gotten better at accepting his kindness and tolerating the pain. I try to make better relationships in my life, so maybe it can provide impetus to do that. I've not been that successful yet.

Sunrise and Tiny Rabbit, I agree with you about the contrast. It makes me feel at a loss as to what to do with the knowledge that some of the people in my personal life are/ were sh*ts, and I was oblivious - it makes me desperately sad to think of it, so I try to shove it away. Ho hum.
