Maybe I just need Dr. Melfi



What if the thing you're supposed to want (i.e. a relationship) is at odds with your very personality? Unless its just that not having it has made it feel unnecessary...

Truly, I do sometimes wish that I had someone in my life who would help me shoulder my burdens -- even just temporarily -- by supporting me, listening when I need to talk it out, offering advice that would be beneficial to me. It occurred to me as I sit here, writing this, that I just described a therapist, but for the longest time, I've plastered the word "Boyfriend" above that description.

There's definitely something wrong here.
