I Need Attention

[The Albatross]

Hmmm. You got my attention Simon. Can't really say more than that right now though. I am worried though.

 

[Nighthawk]

Running on empty, exploding on inocent humans, appointment after appointment and not getting anywere. I need someone who will pay some bloody attention.

I'm listening, NH, and thinking of you (really). I may run out of things to say, but my ears (or, eyes) are wholly open.

I need attention! I f*cking hate f*cking everyone. Maybe the anger is becoming an uncontrollable manifestation of depression. Or maybe everyone is just a f*cking asshole.

I could have written this myself.

Not everyone is an asshole. There are a few good people left. ;)

The fact of the matter is attention is needed. Not only needed but I need it from people who couldn't care less.

I need attention! I f*cking hate f*cking everyone.

The question is are you able to accept attention when you feel like this?

How does one seek positive attention without being labeled attention seeking?

Oh the irony of society. Attention seeking is labeled as "bad" so while a high percentage of those on social media post for the attention, we don't label it as such. They're just seen as normal!

 

[Nighthawk]

Does one seeking attention only seek positive attention. Or if one has had enough neg attention in their lifetime is that what that what they seek. Having a temper tantrum one is looking for attention but not positive attention after all. And just because someone is giving you some attention it does not mean you want it or can accept it or is what you need.

I need some positive attention as I always self sabatage my friendships (in person) and toward myself as well, tough to admit!!

The last thing I want is attention. My mother paid way too much attention to me and I was always under pressure to be like her, be whatever she wanted me to be, and so on. I guess I do like a little attention, like most normal people. But I've had the dark side of it.

I need attention!

I am so f*cking outraged right now it's not even funny. I don't normally experience unchecked rage, but I'm just absolutely at the peak of anger right now. I'm sick of being kicked down and invalidated just because my personal experience somehow threatens a cultural norm or makes other people uncomfortable. F*CK your socially constructed ideas about what I should and should not feel about my life.
