Dinah, I do have my boyfriend who is great at listening, tho' I have been tending to withdraw from him a little too. I think my T thought that being in group would help me realise that people don't feel burdened if you talk to them about your 'bad' stuff - maybe that will come with time. Maybe this is my pathology, maybe not, but I think that people do feel at least a little burdened if someone tells them they are suicidal etc because of the possible concequences. And even though I'm nowhere near acting on those thoughts now, I'm not likely to tell the group I have them either - would there be any benifit for them or me?
I don't think that I really have any other major interpersonal problems that I could get feedback on in group. I'm pretty high functioning, have a good circle of friends and have grown much more confident over the last 2 years - it feels like I've got past those issues for now.
