How do I cease this delusionary longing to have a third person observer who would constantly reassure me that my feelings are valid and analyze every single little detail with me? There’s always this invisible barrier/filter between what my senses are picking up and what I’m experiencing. Thus, I need to find a healthy balance. My whole life I’ve been told that my feelings are viscerally intense and that’s why I’m afraid I might have been relying solely on my own anecdotal experience.
