And because I just hated to ruin my dramatic, tearful ending to that last post, I'm making a separate post with a list of things that I want to remember to bring up next time at therapy.

- I need lots and lots of validation. This ties into my insecurity around new people.

- I can't bear to have people mad at me. Even if it's a stranger honking at me in traffic, I tend to get mad back, but then spend the next five minutes obsessing that maybe it was, in fact, my fault.

- I need to feel needed to feel as though a relationship is valid or good.

That's all of I can think of for now.
