Positive Reinforcement...

I know that I once founded a GREAT relationship with my first T (but circumstances changed and I had to move). This was a very positive relationship for me, and showed me what I've been missing... though now, it has left me with this "need" almost, to have such profound connections with people. It is exactly this need which has scared away some people in my life, and now as a result, I'm scared to show too much of anything in the fear that if will turn people away.

I think that a lot of emotional problems of many people boil down to that one need - the need to be loved... or at least to be needed yourself.
