It's too embarrassing to think about much less say.
I guess he was just trying to be nice and encouraging. He ought to know my pull to the middle well enough by now. If he goes overboard on the positive, it's going to make me pull to the middle. And if he rejects my pull to the middle, it's going to make me really really anxious.
I'm probably overreacting. I really don't mind him saying nice things about me. I hope he thinks nice things about me. But I'm not what he was saying I was today. That's not fair to me. Any more than if he said something horribly negative about me.
I know I'm primed for anxious right now. So maybe it's an OCD thing. It feels scary. I feel like I need to make sure he understands. My efforts to do that today fell short. He insists I'm wrong. I know what's in me though. I know I'm not wrong. Shouldn't he believe me?
