Instead, I get the constant stream of "I'm there for you" and "I'll do what I can to help". Okay, leave me alone. Is that so hard to understand? Because when you "help", it always costs me time and energy responding to *your* needy bullshit. That's not about me at all.

I just want a pod to climb inside of that has all the comforts I need plus the added benefit of being completely impenetrable from the outside. Stay out until I invite you in, then go away when I'm done with you. Is that so hard to get?
