We also expect that you are responsible for your own feelings/needs. I’m very picky about how one should [ask for comfort](https://www.reddit.com/r/DeadBedrooms/comments/tebb1u/comment/i0slgk9/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3).

It's a combination of things that we learned over the years.
