You are going thru a lot of the same things I am going thru right now with my GF. MY GF is totally needy and expects me to MAKE her happy/feel better, etc. She had a bad day today for example. I listened to her about her problems, offered my sympathy over the phone but when i said i didnt feel like driving and staying over at her apartment tonight and that i wanted to sleep in my own bed, I got "You are my boyfriend, you are SUPPOSE" to come over and make me feel better!". I am not her therapist...i cant do that, its not my job, but of course she doesnt see it that way.
I am also an introvert (she is a little more on the extroverted side). I need my alone time like i need water and food. I need down time away from people in order to re-charge my battery. My GF craves attention and affection. We keep fighting over and over about the same things about personal space and together time. She doesnt understand me and prob. never will.
In short, I know i have to break up with my GF and i think you should seriously consider if you can reach some kind of common ground with your GF. If you dont think you ever will...get out now! Relationships are not easy, but when you arent in a healthy one, i think you will eventually figure it out.
Good luck
