writes:I crave attention. Not in a relationship way, just generally in life and it gets in the way of doing normal things sometimes...Generally when I think people that crave attention, I think someone who hasn't been loved or a loner, I am neither, I have grown up in a loving and complete family, and have constant group of friends. I often find that I am the 'joker' in the group and people love me for it as well as just on a normal level..To be honest, it is times like at college I feel the need to go from being the happy joker to the depressed/quiet to get attention and have people ask me what is wrong =/I like people to ask me what is wrong and in the last two days 2 teachers have offered me 'help/ talk' etc.I never say yes obviously I just want the attention. I know that is a problem in itself, I JUST WISH I KNEW WHY?I have a loving family, always have.I have a boyfriend who loves me loads and treats me right.I am liked and have friends at college.I really can't see the problem? Can anyone tell me why I am like this?! I know what I am doing is wrong and that I need to stop but I can't help the cravings.. =/Sorry for the long post, but can someone please help me! Thank You~ x

I don't think being an attention seeker is all that bad a thing. You are just desperate to be loved and appreciated, which is great, it's better than hiding yourself away. You're like me, I'm quiet and depressed one minute, which I quite like, and then want to be loud and bubbly. I want to be what everyone will noticed and admire. You will discover your real self in time hun :) just know that people love you

 maybe you are trying to hard to please people and make them like you, it works but then i guess you just want to take a back seat and have THEM come to YOU. so you know that they still love you even when you are not acting so fun. do you feel like you put more effort into friends/boyfriend/family than they give back sometimes?
