Gyah! That's one of my therapy hot-button issues. I like it when people feel sorry for me, but I know so many kick-ass people whom I count as friends (yourself included) who won't put up with that shite. At the same time, living up to other peoples' expectations of you is hard, which causes (in me at least) more wailing, gnashing of teeth, and angst.
