Sherlock needs Molly to love him
ohmyolicity:
Can we talk about how Sherlock was offended because Molly Hooper didn’t pick up the phone?
mortifying-mischief:
“It’s me calling!”

He may not be conscious of it, but her attention (and love) is clearly not unwanted. See how even before, he expected molly to cancel her lunch date so she could have crisps while solving crimes with him. Or how he was unnecessarily cruel to her when he thought she’s seeing someone she likes that is not him in A Scandal in Belgravia. In The Empty Hearse after their “date” he was trying to come to terms with not being the center of her world anymore. He’s not happy about it.
He needs her to love him and not give up on him even when he’s being what he believes to be the worst person in the world. (He had repeatedly implied it, and that level of self destruction with drugs can only be born from a considerable amount of self hatred). And in that same scene, she showed that she will always do, even when from her point of view, he was again being a cruel manipulative bastard who doesn’t care about her feelings. She could not be more wrong.

Yes, great thoughts!!
Molly has always been there for him, ALWAYS, no matter what. There are SO many examples of this, but a few highlights…. Even after he humiliates her at the Christmas party (although I guess he does apologize!) she comes in to the Morgue on Christmas to help with fake!Irene’s body. She’s the one he turns to when he needs help faking his death in The Reichenbach Fall. She’s the one he brings along to solve cases when John isn’t available (and no one will ever convince me the beginning of The Empty Hearse wasn’t a date!). He goes to her home as one of his bolt holes, seemingly even while she is engaged. He even turns to Molly when he needs help planning John’s stag night.
Molly told him that if he ever needs help, she is there for him–and she always has been.
And now, she’s screening his phone call. The one person he could always count on is ignoring him–and that cuts deep.
