People are important to you, and that's a good thing, but not when you rely on them to validate your existance. You're learning that gradually as you gain confidence in yourself - it's a sign of poor self-confidence that you have to have other people tell you you're a decent person. I think now you've gotten the school stuff successfully completed and other medical issues being addressed, you're going to come along in leaps and bounds, as long as you remember you are important, not because of what you do/are for the people around you, but what you are in yourself. You've got a great sense of humour that needs to be let out more, and I think once you finally move out of the family home and start to establish an identity as an individual we'll see a much more confident, less needy Twiller, the guy who is sometimes in evidence now.
