OR maybe, JUST MAYBE it could be because for the first time in history, people are actually caring about mental health and we find out how many people are actually suffering. Also, wouldn't you be depressed if you had a talking orange for president and in 8 months the damage that has been done to the environment will be irreversible which would mean that we would all be forced to slowly cook to death with everyone we love on this planet?
Leunam Reyo That’s because most of the time, the people who said they wanted to do it eventually DID get help. Think about this logically. If they said it for real and not as a joke, they really needed help. And if they actually SAID IT that means they were willing enough to get help.
1. Anxiety - how will my actions be received by others 2. Feeling lonely - do things to draw connection 3. Insecurity creeps in - comparing self to others 4. Too attached to praise - this makes criticism crippling 5. Feel the need to prove yourself - overdoing things or using knowledge against people 6. Doing things for likes following and recognition 7. Trying too hard to be unique when you already are unique - going overboard
"oversharing on social media" me on a random youtube video: y'all wanna hear about my daddy issues? my insecurities? no? okay. here's my whole life story anyways.
I was overpraised as a child, but it stopped when I turned 11. I became this way to compensate for this uncomfortable change. Now, I’m learning to accept that I never was as perfect as ppl said I was at 8, but I never was as useless as ppl said I was at 14 either. I’m in between just like most other ppl in the world and that’s a great place to be.
That's a great realisation. I was praised by my parents but I was also validated by my family a lot when I was young. Now nobody gives me the same amount of validation and I feel like crap because I don't want to be this immature.
Totally agree....oversharing on social media, especially ones like Snapchat and InstaStories... and the not seeing it in themselves but seeing it in others. Lots and lots of truth in this video.
I like getting a laugh out of people, mostly from my friends. That’s how I like to seek attention. I like to tell jokes, I like to act like a fool in public just to get a rise out of people. I take their laughter as praise and validation. I think I use laughter and humor to hide darker feelings about myself because I rather have people laughing either with me or at me, than listen to me talk about my depression, my anxiety, my frustration, you know, all the bad stuff. My fear is that would they even care to listen, or am I even worth listening to. I try to ignore those thoughts by replacing it with fake smiles and it can be really exhausting at points. Sometimes I don’t wanna smile. Sometimes I just want to let go of these emotions, so that at least for a brief moment, I can have some air to breathe.
If the people that are in your life right now would not care or listen to you when speaking about your depression, anxiety and frustration, then you choose other people to be part of your life. Good friends take the good with the bad. However, I really think it would be a great benefit for you to talk to a therapist. You are not alone. There are millions of people who share the same struggles you're having.
well? now that everyone knows your the positive jokester..it might be better to not show the darker side. it would upset them. do SHARE your depressive side with a trusted person,you feel safe with..or counselor. You are performing for love..its very common.
I think female friends are more nurturing and empathetic. If you don't have friends like that to talk to, find a counselor. I can totally relate to the behavior you described (& i am self aware as i joke & sometimes catch myself before i joke at inappropriate times) but luckily for me i have caring girlfriends that listen to all my emotions / feelings and love me through it. If you need to chat - you can message me.
I already know that I am an attention seeker. I even always tell myself that not to be one, every time. But sometimes, it's out of control, I will just regret my actions after I am all alone in my room.
Every single symptom you listed describes me perfectly. Thank you for making me realize what’s wrong with me. Now I can go to a therapist and have a starting talking point.
Nobody has given u complete acceptance when u were nothing/not eligible /not capable/if u fail.so u find the way of acceptance by being good at work/dressing ...... Everything u have u r in someway capable of that. As this world always makes u feel first u need to makes urself capable of that then u will get that thing in ur life.so u hve got everything out of striving for that working towards that Then u achived it/got it/.so all these these things r about First improving urself changing urself and then u r getting known/acknowledged/likes/becoming wonder in others mind.so u continuing the way u have got acceptance by being high/becoming stereotype in others mind. What u need is to find the acceptance when u r nothing Nothing means when u r nothing
And u have to seek this acceptance somewhere from within because in the world ,where u r right now means what u r capable of doing How well u learned it and sustain ur capabilities.it has capabilities requirement plus it has many involuntary factors also which make things happen the way it happens .so seeking it from outside will make u fall in the cycle of making urself look better and by merging with society standards first u will create a hype in ur mind and then try it get urself associated with it.
Hello 3 years ago person, i am a sophomore in high school and thank u for this, i have not had many friends since I’ve moved in 5th grade where i was just fun, but lets be honest the change from elementary to middle is that leap where u start getting insecure and such, Ive always been very protective of myself but it got much worse over the years, I haven’t had many friends bc im often to nervous by what they might say back to me if i talk to them, life often makes u feel like everything is crowding around u and suffocating u and the only way I could get this attention i so craved was via grades, i did very well then went to a school for smart ppl (long story) i left earlier this year bc i was getting very depressed and anxious. I had nothing, no friends, no motivation, and most of all at the time i was extremely lonely. I was never talked abt bc i was average and the more I realized that the more depressed i got, i am now in this pandemic, still suffering from these but to a lesser degree as i was able to talk to a few ppl and finally felt important to someone but i need to fix this issue. Its harming me, my family, and my future. I’ve never noticed how much i just hungered for attention before and now i think i need to find a way to make it better and figured researching it would be the best first step, so I would like to thank u for making this video as it’s definitely a wake up call, ur not a victim bc u want attention, u have to just stay urself try to swallow that guilt u have for anything and talk to new ppl, its only something i can fix and although it will be tough i want to make a hope that one day i can edit this post and say i helped myself, i am sorry for the poor souls who pressed read more but i just want to explain to myself why im being so selfish and self demotivating and promise myself i will be better and i will make others better, rather than rip them down so i can stand on top pretending I deserved it
I’m sorry to hear about all your struggles Dominic. I know with some thought and effort you can get to a better place. Be patient and kind to yourself. God bless.
I'm going to tell you something I really don't have to many friends from my past went to the bars on the weekends I wanted to meet girls and wanna be their friend but I got really shy on them I don't know what I'm going to do. I just wanna hurt myself around them because I wanna their friend I want them to care about me that's my story.
i tell lies to my friends, like saying i saw someone doing something crazy at a store while im at home, hoping they’ll laugh. i make “typos” but they arent typos. i try too hard to make them like me. im literally disgusting, wtf, im the type of person i hate the most
I'm depressed.A psychologist had told me that and I write sad comments a lot.People say I'm seeking for attention but acctually have depression...Thank you for reading...
i was about to post my stuff on youtube and this lady made me to think twice and remove those areas that has to do with attention seeking. Much love CF.
Attention seeking is also when someome posts a photo of themselves and when you compliment their looks, they just keep saying how ugly they are and don't thank you at all.
i dont want to be that one person that self diagnoses themselves, but im almost positive i have depression. symptoms that im seeing are my mom has depression, i cry everyday, i always feel the need to improve myself, i feel lonely a lot, im a very lazy person and i procrastinate a lot.
These are traits of insecure adolescents. Our society is dumbed down due to social media,texting and lack of developing basic social skills. Interaction with fellow people is now done on a very trivial level. Therefore a lot of individuals do not mature or develop as individuals or social creatures.
Not all of these are signs of attention seekers. Some of them are signs of PTSD. I know people with these qualities of insecurity comparing your self and anxiety. They barely speak or step outside of their homes. So please people be careful of where you get information from and be very discerning.
I wrote and produced an entire song, "Ethics", in response to a very toxic, unethical coworker who is also an attention-seeker. Now I cannot share it at work because it would be attention-seeking behavior in itself.
Great advice video Christal . But sometimes seeking attention can lead to negative consequences . When I was 7 years old I tried to always get my Fathers attention. But he did not pay attention to me and ignored me. . One Day I stood up to my Father and said to him. What The Hell are you going to today. This time I did get my Fathers attention and a SPANKING. Smiles..
Every waking moment of my life is about seeking attention. I’m very aware of it but whenever I catch myself, it takes just 3 seconds to fall back into the same pattern of pretending to be so much more than I really am. I feel like an empty shell of what was once a genuine, caring and pure human being. The only way for me to feel good enough is through constant external validation. If there were no people around me to acknowledge me, would I even exist? I feel chronically lonely and empty because I can’t connect with myself and others on a deeper level. I hurt both myself and the people who come near me, and I disappoint myself and others when I once again can’t live up to being the person I claim to be. Life like this is fucking exhausting and I don’t see how it will change.
the difference between an artist or creator and an attention seeker is that the former seeks attention to add value to mankind, and the second seeks attention to take value away from the average community around.
Theres this one “depressed” white girl in class everyday saying “I was feeling depressed so I didn’t come to class” I’ve seen too much of this behavior to know she wants attention
I just realized i had 6 of these! My family always said that it if was somebody else's special day i would ruin it becuase it wasn't about me and now I see that it was becuase i wanted attention. I am going to try and do better.
Great video. There was once someone I knew since we were teens who was a constant liar for years because all he wanted was attention. He would lie to me and all our friends about how he met all these different celebrities just so we can think he's some cool guy. He was seeking validation and approval cuz he didn't wanna appear as some "regular guy".
I'm a guy. Trust me, there's no cure I initially couldn't believe it, when I found out that my ex-GF who majored in psychology needed validation 24/7. And she was into mindfulness and all that crap, it didn't help a bit. Totally draining...
@Cloud 9 From that observation, it sounds like it goes hand in hand with all the focus on beauty. Girls who get so sucked into looking good that they divert time and energy away from skill building. Then comes the real world. In any case, it's fine to acknowledge that people are attention seeking and that they need to do something about it, and ghost them if you need to, but making suicide jokes is low.
Damn, I learn more about myself everyday. I was really concerned that I was an attention seeker,but now I know I am one. Well that only leaves room for improvement, thank you for this video.
I did everything she said few hours ago,i woke up full of stress want to find out a resolution thanks God I found you I'm sure this video can make big a change into my life. Just want to say big thank you. On thing u said I put into my notes " There is no one in the world make you feel enough other than you.❤️
something kinda dark: i often think about attempting suicide for attention. not to kill myself, just so the people in my life will actually notice that im struggling mentally. ....aaaand im oversharing on social media
People who do nice things and then feel compelled to post about it on social media really annoy me. At that point you arent really nice, you are only doing it for self serving reasons.
God just wants a relationship with u and to help u in the hardships of life. Accept that free gift today and accept Him into your life today❤ Have a wonderful day
When you talk about a gun then a random stranger comes over to you talking about their great great great great great grandfather who died from a gun and telling you not to talk about it, then they start feeling bad for themselves, like bruuuuuuh
As someone who was never bullied, i understand that is not something to say, however most attention seekers ik (aka me as i just realized) just want to be noticed for anything. Whether it be the good the bad or anything. So awareness doesn’t equal attention seeker lol sorry for the convoluted comment i just can’t make my case without sounding like an asshole under estimating what u went thru
i don’t care about the applause of people but from this video i guess i do seek validation. I pour out basically everything about myself to any friends i make for no apparent reason. I also have frequent anxiety as she mentioned in the video. unfortunately i don’t know how to not do it.
I love my husband but sometimes he can act very annoying and attention seeking! It drives me crazy, especially when my attention is elsewhere and engaged with other people and he feels out of the loop. He forces himself to take the attention away from me and when I get irritated he blames me for being upset! It's useless I have been explaining this to him for years and he doesn't get it. He always acts like a victim and I look like a bad partner for bringing it up. What do I do??
I have number 8 on you're list and that word is ATTENTION SEEKING OR SEEKERS! however that word should never exist as its rude, unpolite, nasty, vile, disgusting, and very hurtful to some people and this word does not exist in my opinion and should never be used on people who aren't attention seeking as everyone calls it.
I felt like when I said this I'm an attention seeker. I've had a bad depression lately, and when I told it to someone online, they said that I'm just an attention seeker.
Just had to show this to my daughter... Appreciate the content and another voice telling her the same thing....thanks for posting this...fyi.. Random TH-cam search for anything that could help
As a man, I don’t want any attention. I’d rather help others. It’s that simple. Toxic people want attention for themselves, they profit off of others, they pick, compare, and put others down
You forgot one that has been happening a lot. People begging for subscribers. And others beg for hate comments, and saying that they have better videos than certain TH-camrs, like Jacksepticeye and SSSniperWolf.
She just described me in one video. I guess the problem is that my parents raised me in such a way that I was always praised until I experienced the real world and realized that it's not what I perceived it to be and so the addiction for attention went on. Sad to say but I still have this attention-seeking problem. I'm also very introverted and growing up in school, I was always invisible except when I perform in Talent Shows. It's really frustrating me and I want it to stop. Okay wow this comment of mine sounds attention-seeking. Self please make it stop :(((
For all those celebrity women who I had conflict with...or maybe including Jack who wants attention from men... Attention-seeking is a part of 'id'. When you're already a grown as* adult and you still can't control your attention-seeking urges, then it means that you have problem controlling your id. You must feel shame or embarassment about that because you're already a grown as* adult. Shame or embarassment is not always bad, sometimes we need that. Teenagers usually cant control their attention-seeking urges and thats just normal, but if you're an adult, then it means that you havent reached maturity yet.
I agree with most of this but I’m a little unclear on how having anxiety or being insecure/over explaining makes someone an attention seeker and not just…anxious & insecure.
Attention seekers have void in their mind. So they constantly check other's feeling and mood by hovering around. It is so annoying. They seem mostly nice because being nice means being manipulative. What I realized is, Kindness is good but niceness is bad. Psychologically, if someone comes to you in a nice way, we feel all of sudden to get pressure subconciously to give them nice way in return. This is a start point of manipulation. They will repeatedly do the same thing to take control of your mind that you also start thinking of them. From that point, they will take your valuable time and energy for granted to exploit. Therefore, we have to learn how to protect ourselves from those toxic. I always keep in mind that I will be no longer nice to other. instead I will only be nice to myself. It doesn't mean that I would hurt anyone, just I am not pretending to be nice to the nice people. I don't give any nice or bad vibe. I become a grey rock. This mindset planted full of happiness in my mind.
This just hurts me a lot when kids or teens older than me say that “Oh I wanna die cause I’m so depressed” this is one personal level cause my mom was depressed, she has to see the therapist once a week, she has to take 3 anti depression pills, but she sometimes forget that she had already taken them, that’s bad since if you overdose you can die. Kids these days so dumb why can’t they just seek attention by living on the streets, I mean anybody can be depressed but on a personal level my mom mostly has depression cause she has OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) she would be yelling or screaming if I touched something dirty like the lifts button and come back home touching something clean like my clothes from the washing machine without washing my hand
I clicked on this, I already know that I'm gonna get a few if not all of the signs but yet I still feel attacked. LMAO Definitely need to work on myself there
No.4, 6 and 7 explains sooo well all these social media's so-called HOT people like fitness models or instagram models... You see one you've seen them all... They've become so overcrowding that social media does not need anymore new of these so-called models...It's actually become like "So What else is new huh"???!!!!! 🥱🥱🥱
I hate people who keep saying "Im so lonely, im a piece of trash, I bet you disliked this because its cringe..." like, ok, a lot of people are lonely but this is just really too much
just the video i was waiting for, i've been thinking about this for a while now.
thank you christal 🌸
That's amazing Remai! We are so glad you wanted this video! XOXO
@bangchan's lovely smile nope!
If you need a TH-cam video to sort your life out I feel sorry for you.
Simon George lmao rude, you should watch one on how to get a life
Hello am here to be your friend.
These 7 signs are present in like 90% of today’s society, which may be one of the reasons depression and suicide are so high today.
Every time someone I knew committed suicide, no one knew about it.
Everybody who claims to be suicidal is still here to this DAY
90% of my friends use depression and suicide to get attention
@@offbrandwalmart3374,are sure they are not really depressed?

Man, I clicked this video so that I could identify any attention seeker in my circle but then all of the signs are pointing to myself :")
Thank you for watching Rania!
Oh... OK then.

Same
Literally same 😂

LOOOOL same.
me in the shower:
fr idk why I want ppl to know abt me
Me but on other social media platforms
It’s more coz I’ve no friends irl so I just wanna share
I was overpraised as a child, but it stopped when I turned 11. I became this way to compensate for this uncomfortable change.

These are basically all the signs of insecurity 😂
Which is why they seek attention

You don't need a therapist for that.
WE are all guilty of this one way or another.
I seeked attention when I was a kid on the playground .

And if people don't like it, I can't help it !
_Sought,_ not 'seeked.' Also, I like that you changed your attitude.

Not all of us are attention seekers.

Moon Turns The Tides will you get second chance ?
It happens to the best of us. The good thing is that you are working on it now! That’s all that matters 🤍
Hi Karlie...if I'm not asking too much...how did that happen?
I don't feel like attention seeking should be demonized. It needs to be met with compassion and boundaries. Just my thoughts.
These are traits of insecure adolescents. Our society is dumbed down due to social media,texting and lack of developing basic social skills. Interaction with fellow people is now done on a very trivial level. Therefore a lot of individuals do not mature or develop as individuals or social creatures.
Number 5 is so me lol, when I have a argument and I always google it 😂
Not all of these are signs of attention seekers. Some of them are signs of PTSD. I know people with these qualities of insecurity comparing your self and anxiety. They barely speak or step outside of their homes. So please people be careful of where you get information from and be very discerning.
I wrote and produced an entire song, "Ethics", in response to a very toxic, unethical coworker who is also an attention-seeker. Now I cannot share it at work because it would be attention-seeking behavior in itself.
Sometimes I say something that I completely false and dangerous, that lends me in trouble.
Great advice video Christal . But sometimes seeking attention can lead to negative consequences . When I was 7 years old I tried to always get my Fathers attention. But he did not pay attention to me and ignored me. . One Day I stood up to my Father and said to him. What The Hell are you going to today. This time I did get my Fathers attention and a SPANKING. Smiles..
Every waking moment of my life is about seeking attention. I’m very aware of it but whenever I catch myself, it takes just 3 seconds to fall back into the same pattern of pretending to be so much more than I really am. I feel like an empty shell of what was once a genuine, caring and pure human being. The only way for me to feel good enough is through constant external validation. If there were no people around me to acknowledge me, would I even exist?
I feel chronically lonely and empty because I can’t connect with myself and others on a deeper level. I hurt both myself and the people who come near me, and I disappoint myself and others when I once again can’t live up to being the person I claim to be. Life like this is fucking exhausting and I don’t see how it will change.
I deal with this and I don't even make videos calling it out for likes and subscribes
It’s amazing how you can make something so biased sound factual
I an attention seeker, i don't like to be that way, is exausting
Thank you. I sought my parents attention all my life and it progressed into my marriage.
the difference between an artist or creator and an attention seeker is that the former seeks attention to add value to mankind, and the second seeks attention to take value away from the average community around.
Theres this one “depressed” white girl in class everyday saying “I was feeling depressed so I didn’t come to class”
I’ve seen too much of this behavior to know she wants attention
thanks for this i was recently called an attention whore when i,m in my right to express my feelings since i,m also dumped by people
Thank you for watching!
someone called me attention seeking today and now i’m scared that i might be
I just realized i had 6 of these! My family always said that it if was somebody else's special day i would ruin it becuase it wasn't about me and now I see that it was becuase i wanted attention. I am going to try and do better.
Great video. There was once someone I knew since we were teens who was a constant liar for years because all he wanted was attention. He would lie to me and all our friends about how he met all these different celebrities just so we can think he's some cool guy. He was seeking validation and approval cuz he didn't wanna appear as some "regular guy".
Examples! Please. Just because you know what you mean doesn't mean we know to.
I can't stand attention seeking women. They seem so desperate it makes me want to vomit. If I were a guy that would be a big turn off to me.
I'm a guy. And trust me. It's fucking disgusting
I'm a guy.
Trust me, there's no cure
I initially couldn't believe it, when I found out that my ex-GF who majored in psychology needed validation 24/7.
And she was into mindfulness and all that crap, it didn't help a bit.
Totally draining...
Am a guy but a bit of attention seeking on a woman is a turn on
@Cloud 9 Oooh, nice one. I bet you're a wonderful person to be around.
@Cloud 9 From that observation, it sounds like it goes hand in hand with all the focus on beauty. Girls who get so sucked into looking good that they divert time and energy away from skill building. Then comes the real world. In any case, it's fine to acknowledge that people are attention seeking and that they need to do something about it, and ghost them if you need to, but making suicide jokes is low.
Why your eyes can be genuine . -.- The way you speak, but your eyes are gratified.
Damn, I learn more about myself everyday. I was really concerned that I was an attention seeker,but now I know I am one. Well that only leaves room for improvement, thank you for this video.
I did everything she said few hours ago,i woke up full of stress want to find out a resolution thanks God I found you I'm sure this video can make big a change into my life. Just want to say big thank you. On thing u said I put into my notes " There is no one in the world make you feel enough other than you.❤️
Needed to see this video attention seeking has been my biggest issue.
something kinda dark: i often think about attempting suicide for attention. not to kill myself, just so the people in my life will actually notice that im struggling mentally.
....aaaand im oversharing on social media
I love how I feel like we all are attention seekers and we are actually admitting it here
You are a attention seeker not we
Thank you so much. Will share with my other half
i catch myself everytime im seeking attention, and then get mad at myself cuz i absolutely hate when others do it :(
People who do nice things and then feel compelled to post about it on social media really annoy me. At that point you arent really nice, you are only doing it for self serving reasons.
There is a line between wanting to be respected and cherrised
i'm often feeling like I'm not 'good enough', I compare myself to others, and in many cases, try to 'one up' everybody else.
God just wants a relationship with u and to help u in the hardships of life. Accept that free gift today and accept Him into your life today❤
Have a wonderful day
Finally I am not a attention seeker thnx
When you talk about a gun then a random stranger comes over to you talking about their great great great great great grandfather who died from a gun and telling you not to talk about it, then they start feeling bad for themselves, like bruuuuuuh
Me: bullying is wrong I've been bullied it's not fun
People: you attention seeker
As someone who was never bullied, i understand that is not something to say, however most attention seekers ik (aka me as i just realized) just want to be noticed for anything. Whether it be the good the bad or anything. So awareness doesn’t equal attention seeker lol sorry for the convoluted comment i just can’t make my case without sounding like an asshole under estimating what u went thru
My best friend is popular and always has attention from my friends and this makes me feel very left out😔
i don’t care about the applause of people but from this video i guess i do seek validation. I pour out basically everything about myself to any friends i make for no apparent reason. I also have frequent anxiety as she mentioned in the video. unfortunately i don’t know how to not do it.
I love my husband but sometimes he can act very annoying and attention seeking! It drives me crazy, especially when my attention is elsewhere and engaged with other people and he feels out of the loop. He forces himself to take the attention away from me and when I get irritated he blames me for being upset! It's useless I have been explaining this to him for years and he doesn't get it. He always acts like a victim and I look like a bad partner for bringing it up. What do I do??
the video are really soothing.. thank you
Doesn’t everyone seek out for attention? It’s not a disorder it’s just a natural instinct
It's not an instinct, it's pretty fucking annoying.
Thank you I never got attention as a kid. Only for the wrong reasons not to get into it. But I wish I truly loved myself.
Number 4! Omg! I never even considered it. Hit me like an arrow!
Thank you for watching Scott!
You are amazing beautiful, super smart with common sense and I wish that we have woman like yourself in this world to make more loving relationships
im a guy and this video helped me alot thank you
I have number 8 on you're list and that word is ATTENTION SEEKING OR SEEKERS! however that word should never exist as its rude, unpolite, nasty, vile, disgusting, and very hurtful to some people and this word does not exist in my opinion and should never be used on people who aren't attention seeking as everyone calls it.
I felt like when I said this I'm an attention seeker. I've had a bad depression lately, and when I told it to someone online, they said that I'm just an attention seeker.
Just had to show this to my daughter...
Appreciate the content and another voice telling her the same thing....thanks for posting this...fyi..
Random TH-cam search for anything that could help
I was thinking maybe I was attention seeker looks like I kinda am...
As a man, I don’t want any attention.
I’d rather help others. It’s that simple.
Toxic people want attention for themselves, they profit off of others, they pick, compare, and put others down
They argue with me over stupid topics it’s getting annoying and I’m not dealing with it again and I feel anxiety again, they started the argument
So how you I build confidence to stop doing this
yas. this is tea. u should become a social worker tbh
You forgot one that has been happening a lot. People begging for subscribers. And others beg for hate comments, and saying that they have better videos than certain TH-camrs, like Jacksepticeye and SSSniperWolf.
I feel like I am an attention seeker, I like to know my friends care about me and I sometimes lash out when I think they ignore me or another friend
She just described me in one video. I guess the problem is that my parents raised me in such a way that I was always praised until I experienced the real world and realized that it's not what I perceived it to be and so the addiction for attention went on. Sad to say but I still have this attention-seeking problem. I'm also very introverted and growing up in school, I was always invisible except when I perform in Talent Shows. It's really frustrating me and I want it to stop. Okay wow this comment of mine sounds attention-seeking. Self please make it stop :(((
For all those celebrity women who I had conflict with...or maybe including Jack who wants attention from men...
Attention-seeking is a part of 'id'. When you're already a grown as* adult and you still can't control your attention-seeking urges, then it means that you have problem controlling your id. You must feel shame or embarassment about that because you're already a grown as* adult. Shame or embarassment is not always bad, sometimes we need that.
Teenagers usually cant control their attention-seeking urges and thats just normal, but if you're an adult, then it means that you havent reached maturity yet.
“The truth is you may...” is a statement of a lie. Truth is fact. If you may do something it’s not fact.
You've earned a subscriber xx
Brownskin Gyal says the chick with an attention-seeking avatar
Lovely Peaches needs to be exposed for this.....
These are facts. ..
I agree with most of this but I’m a little unclear on how having anxiety or being insecure/over explaining makes someone an attention seeker and not just…anxious & insecure.
Attention seekers have void in their mind. So they constantly check other's feeling and mood by hovering around. It is so annoying. They seem mostly nice because being nice means being manipulative. What I realized is, Kindness is good but niceness is bad. Psychologically, if someone comes to you in a nice way, we feel all of sudden to get pressure subconciously to give them nice way in return. This is a start point of manipulation. They will repeatedly do the same thing to take control of your mind that you also start thinking of them. From that point, they will take your valuable time and energy for granted to exploit. Therefore, we have to learn how to protect ourselves from those toxic. I always keep in mind that I will be no longer nice to other. instead I will only be nice to myself. It doesn't mean that I would hurt anyone, just I am not pretending to be nice to the nice people. I don't give any nice or bad vibe. I become a grey rock. This mindset planted full of happiness in my mind.
This just hurts me a lot when kids or teens older than me say that “Oh I wanna die cause I’m so depressed” this is one personal level cause my mom was depressed, she has to see the therapist once a week, she has to take 3 anti depression pills, but she sometimes forget that she had already taken them, that’s bad since if you overdose you can die. Kids these days so dumb why can’t they just seek attention by living on the streets, I mean anybody can be depressed but on a personal level my mom mostly has depression cause she has OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) she would be yelling or screaming if I touched something dirty like the lifts button and come back home touching something clean like my clothes from the washing machine without washing my hand
I am a man.
I like your channel.
You tell it like it is.
I clicked on this, I already know that I'm gonna get a few if not all of the signs but yet I still feel attacked. LMAO
Definitely need to work on myself there
I can’t take it I love my friend so much but then she gets mad when I don’t give it to her
No.4, 6 and 7 explains sooo well all these social media's so-called HOT people like fitness models or instagram models... You see one you've seen them all... They've become so overcrowding that social media does not need anymore new of these so-called models...It's actually become like "So What else is new huh"???!!!!! 🥱🥱🥱
Thank you for this video, I need to show this to someone in my life so they can understand what they are like.
Thank you for watching Jaden, we hope you share it with the person who may need it! XO
It's human nature. Just another trait that proves, people will be people
I hate people who keep saying "Im so lonely, im a piece of trash, I bet you disliked this because its cringe..." like, ok, a lot of people are lonely but this is just really too much
I dont know if I want attention because....some really depressing stuff has happens lately and i think I just want sombody who understands me
