I said I wasn't asking for help, I titled this post "for the social record," and I asked exactly zero questions in the post text. If this isn't enough evidence for you that I wasn't asking for help, I don't know what might be. I am frustrated at not being taken at my word here.
Further, there is a distinction between "I want to change this" and "I want/need help to change." As it happens, I don't yet know if I want to change it, but even if I do, I know I don't need or want any help. I know what I need to do, I know how to do it, I just need to get over my shit. Or not, if I decide it isn't worth the time and effort. We'll see.
As for greeting -- I am often distracted, busy, sleepy, or otherwise preoccupied when you arrive, as noted earlier. I am also not the most emotionally effusive person ever. If I let you over the threshhold, you are welcome in my house. If you (or anyone else) require(s) more reinforcement, I am probably not a good person to give it and you will probably be disappointed. Is this, too, something I might want to change? Maybe. Do I need help or advice on how? No.
