Last week I had a great session with my therapist. There is one thing however which has really been bothering me which is seemingly very insignificant and I'm wondering if I should even address it.
I showed him a group photograph of my father, stepmother, and my brother's floozy girlfriend. I wanted him to see the cause of much of my anxiety, mainly my stepmother who is infact physically hideous. This hideous woman has the nerve to call me "ugly" and "homely", etc. Upon declaring my stepmother very hard to look at, he said "But who is that person to her left? She's really good looking."
I was sort of shocked by the comment and have since felt very jealous by this comment. I guess I think he should realize that I have self-esteem and appearance issues and that there is no need for him to be commenting on the looks of anyone (other than my hideous stepmother). I guess part of me feels quite jealous because I know that he will never pay me a physical compliment (believe me, I have tried every trick in the book to get one and he never bites!)
Should I even bring this up tomorrow? Or am I just being ridiculous?
It doesn't help that I have a crush on him either, which I know he knows about.
