I Need Attention

[anonymous]

I decided to start this thread because I am over it at the moment.

For those of you attention hungry temper tantrum people who just need some attention here is a place for you to be. I am not sure you will get too many responses here but you can try. So if you throwing a hisy fit and its all about you please post here.:roflmao:

I FEEL LIKE I AM IMPLODING WITH THE NEED TO HAVE SOMEONE PAY ATTENTION TO ME.

It's really ridiculous. :(

I used to be like that but now couldn't care less.

@rightkindofme, I don't think it's ridiculous. Most of us have been denied that kind of attention when we needed it most.

I do not need the attention but feel left out not replying :)

We all need attention, or we wouldn't be on the forum to begin with.

Besides, there's a cultural meme out there that says needing attention is bad. You hear parents and others complain that so and so is "just trying to get attention".

Well, then f**king give them some!

I've noticed that animals don't have this problem. A dog will sometimes come up and try to pry up your hand off of your knee or the armrest, trying to get you to pet or rub ears. A horse will walk over to the fence where you're standing, even if you don't have an apple, just to get some touching.

Why do we think there's something wrong with getting attention? Could it be because we don't want to give any? Open question.

I think its because we wernt given any attention to begin with. I think at times we get very attention hungry. Yes we need attention. So please give me some. I am invisable to my family and most of my friends. I figured haveing a place to get some attention is awesome. Here you can ask for it and get it or not to each there own. :)

I still am fine without the attention, I used to crave it all the time, Now I am happy to give it to anyone who wants it :)

I don't know if "most of us" have been denied but putting it in one thread is fine by me. Rant away and be done with it. Cathartic rants can be illuminating, relief inducing and maybe healing.

"This is simply the mind blowing off steam. It is not a healing process.

Catharsis however can become a way of dealing with pain and inertia – a kind of roller coaster which looks like forward movement but in fact the individual is stuck on the same track and just repeats the same cycle of endurance and release, endurance and release forever.

Healing breaks this karmic cycle once and for all. Healing is about gently lovingly looking at the truth of the situation and choosing to move forward by dropping the things that obstruct us.

Catharsis is seductive – but only Healing will bring about the permanent release of a problem so that you can move forward with ease, joy and love."

Very Much like the therapy technique I have been learning. Self empowerment to disconnect negative emotional connection to trauma memories. Once the connection between trauma emotions is broken, the mind re-focuses on the future, leaving the past behind.
