I think I have this bad habit of making things always about "Me". It often happens when my special someone gets depressed... At the start I seem to be understanding (he has a stressful job), then I try to help.
But when he still is depressed, I start thinking, "hey, I'm here with you. You should be happy." and it's usually followed by, "Am I the reason you're depressed?"
Thankfully, most of the time, I don't say those thoughts out loud. But it has the bad effect of making me feel bad at the same time when someone needs my company. Those thoughts become a handicap making me unable to be genuinely concerned. It becomes about "me".
