"You're making too much of a fuss - you're only doing it to get attention! You're such a baby."
CAN I HAVE A HUG?
a bit late to the game but (((((((((((bitzer))))))))))) many big hugs.
Beginning of Rant:
And as a post script: There is Nothing Wrong (not ANYTHING AT ALL) with wanting and needing Attention. NOT A THING. Not even a little thing wrong with it. We are social animals. We are not reptiles. Social mammals need attention from each other. It is the way we are made. It is biological. It is RIGHT. It is GOOD. It is necessary for survival. Babies DIE from lack of human contact and attention. We need attention from each other. Period. We would not think it even made sense to criticize someone for being thirsty. Needing attention is the same thing. The Same Thing. Exact Same Thing.
"You are only doing it to get attention" is surely one of the top ten stupid things people say. Maybe top 5. If a child is not getting enough attention ... Who needs to up their game? (hint: it is not the child.)
End of rant.
