Look at what your idea of success would be. The more that you take in external motivators, the more it reduces your ultimate satisfaction because it doesn't come from inside.

You hug your mum.  You hug her and your body is shaking and you just sob.  Just like that.  You cling onto her, because you couldn’t even touch him.  Not allowed

Good for her. You consistently nail the hard parts about what it means to be just human, and trying to make peace with that and live in a way that's still grand and good and a little bit dangerous and not give in, to being less than the inhuman.

Yep. No amount of overdosed-on-Harlequin sappy!fic will ever convince me that Rose could or should make poor Other 10 the focus of her life. So not fair to either of them.

As ever, the Doctor's attempts to be kind are in the eye of the beholder.
