I would often give my young cousin Valentine's Day cards, candy, and small stuffed animals

And I did it because I was lonely and I wanted someone to love me back. I had no friends and was very unhappy. I didn't talk about it to anyone because I had low expectations of getting the emotional support I wanted from my parents. Although it's not sexual, it's inappropriate, and I'm not good at talking with people and most of the time I'm socially overconscious, so this is a very deep secret of mine that I only shared with my therapist. I will never talk about it with my family.
