Hey, feel free to delete this comment or whatever, but in spite of emotional/attention vampirism I just want you to know that I generally don't want things from you unless you've offered them, that I feel like I know where you're coming from on this, and my declarations of affection are literally that - like tiny emotional coughs whereby I declare my feelings without expecting you to "live up" to them. I especially feel you on what I think I read to say compliments making you feel like you have to live up to them - this is a persistent problem I have, and I am working on them.

This is incoherent. What I'm trying to say is I'M NOT CODDLING YOU OR TRYING TO GET YOUR ATTENTION (usually, but to be fair when i am i usually am upfront about it) I JUST AM BARFING MY FEELINGS BECAUSE I AM A SHARER
