[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Psychiatrist here. My guess is that it’s her.  Whenever you are around someone and they make you feel something you don’t normally feel, it’s almost always coming from them.  Anxious people make you feel anxious.  Expansive manic people make you feel happy and great, etc.  I did have to do a lot of my own work in therapy to figure out what’s coming from me and what’s from my patients, but my guess is that this is coming from her.  She feels insecure and you are picking up on it.

On a side note, I’m jealous that you have so many friends.  As a working mom, I feel like I hardly have any friends.  The fact that you have gone on multiple girls trips with her, and she isn’t even one of your closest friends has me incredibly jealous!  [/quote]

You are a psychiatrist and you think manic people make others feel “happy and great”? Ok. Whatever you say.

OP, I think your insight into the situation— that this is coming from you, not her—is likely correct. But it is very common to feel insecure around extremely attractive people but to want to be around them anyway.[/quote]
