Anakin might have railed against Obi-Wan's faults in private, to Padmé, he might admit some of them to his twin. But their relationship had gotten much better as Anakin got older, as Jedi Knight Obi-Wan became Jedi Master Obi-Wan, and there was some part of Anakin that would never, ever, forgive or fully trust Obi-Wan after what happened to his mother. But Obi-Wan had raised him, provided for him, taken care of him, protected him, been the only person between Anakin and being enslaved again or worse. Pleasing him had been a matter of survival, even if Anakin never consciously thought of it that way. He only vented good frustrations when he dent very safe.

"It wasn't just mom. I couldn't meditate right, I still can't. I get too angry, too attached, I've done things Jedi are never allowed to do. I want things Jedi agent supposed to want." He sighed. "Most of them still don't trust me. They just want me for what they think I am, for their own ends. I'm not a person to them."

"And no one else. Can't do it. They'd see it as proof something is wrong with me. They keep saying it anyway." Even hiss peers had mocked him for his emotional outbursts. Even in class.

"Maybe not. But it sounds like me. All of it really." And it felt right in a way. Like an answer staring him literally in the face.
