I have the only child's problem of taking teasing very very badly. Except from very very close family members, where we tease with clear affection.
But I'm even worse on the phone than I am in person. My therapist is astounded at how much more articulate I am in writing than in person, and I make more effort to express myself to him than to anyone (except my husband of course), and feel completely comfortable with him. So it must really be true.
I don't think you'll be sorry if you ever do drag yourself to a (good) therapist. It does have its value, as you can tell by my answer to fallsfall. I got sucked in for a few minutes because they know how to push my buttons. But I'm well on my way to extricating myself. :)
