HelpingTeens: Support Groups

I dunno if this goes here. but i will try it ne ways. i always want attention. i ike crave attention. and i know this. i dont try to deny it or anything. i dont like it, but its who i am. so i got over it. i want all kindsa attention tho. from friends, family. strangers. everyone. and like, i like and want alot of attention from guys... but when i get like the smallest bit, i just run away kinda. i dunno what to do with it. or something. i get scared. but i dont know why. i want it. and then i get it, and get scared. but its dumb. anyone have a clue why i do this?? its mostly okay attention from people, but guys is whats wrong. or like strangers its mostly okay. like, when im walking down the street, and some perv says something. its cool. i got my attention, and its all good. but when its someone more close. like a friend. or someone ive met, its diff. why tho? is it just me? or did my parents have something to do with this? or my friends as a kid?? haha. im so ugh!!! haha. whiney bitch right here!!!

Your not a whiney bitch lol. Some people are just like that, they have to be the center of attention all the time no matter what they are doing. Just try to fix yourself. Just try to tell yourself that you dont need or want the attention and see how that works. Good luck.

I understand you exactly, babe. I way understand, b/c I more than feel the same way. I like that same stuff everyday, too...and wonder sometimes, but mostly, at least for me, it's b/c (I think) social anxiety, and maybe some infant neglect (or so I've learned something like that from psychology). I don't know how your parents are, but yea, my story is a little kinda f*cked-up, tho prob. not as dif. as/harsch as other who really live in "pain (both ways-mentally/physically). So, I don't know....I don't really know what I'm doing right now (in my life) and it's just so weird and strange with (for me) hardly or outrages/extreme emotions (mostly an overcast numb feeling) that I think I just finally accept this as being a teenager, ha, now that I'm 17 and about to be an (18-yr-old) adult. Hmm, maybe just for some it goes like that-->you realize after the fact. Hmm. Hope you got all that.
