[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP look up Karen Horney.  She was a psychoanalytic theorist who developed one of the best known theories of neurosis.  She believed that neurosis resulted from basic anxiety caused by interpersonal relationships.  Her theory proposes that strategies used to cope with anxiety can be overused, causing them to take on the appearance of needs.

Sounds like you've got #1 - The Neurotic Need for Affection and Approval.

This need includes the desires to be liked, to please other people, and meet the expectations of others.  People with this type of need are extremely sensitive to rejection and criticism and fear the anger or hostility of others. [/quote]

OP here.   Honestly - you can think I have thin skin, or you can think I should just not care what other people are thinking, and you can even say that I read more into this than what it is, but really, who do you think you are that you are going to read the few posts I read and feel able to analyze me.

I haven't said I need to be approved.  I found it rude that a stranger thought it was ok to obviously say something about me based on a pretty benign parenting choice.

There are those on this thread who agreed with my assessment and those who did not.  Fine.  Even those who suggested bitch resting face, about which I was previously unaware.

You however suggest some psycho babble BS based on your in analytic powers so strong you do not have to even meet a person to make a diagnosis.

Feel free to fuck off.[/quote]

PS - it is strange that I have no need for you to like me or to meet your expectations![/quote]
