Sometimes I want to brake down for attention too. Once I wanted to come out for attention. Now I just want to come out to come out.

Everybody needs attention, you just have to get it a better way. Be more outgoing. Be funny. But not obnoxious. Maybe you’re a people person!

What do you mean, “i have issues and stuff that comes with this too”?

Why could you never be like them?

So what is the problem here? You want attention and you already have it..

There is nothing wrong in wanting attention but wanting and craveing are different, to want others to worry over you when you know you are fine is just hurtfull to the people you love and who love you.
There is also the “cry wolf story” so be warned there may be a day when you truley do need help but everyone around you is so tired that they won’tcome to your aid, try to find a balance and figure out why you need this attention.

xi, how many people do you know or have you known that crave constant attention that ever get enough? Just read any tabloid or watch a tv show on celebrities and what you will see is that no amount of attention from others is ever enough if you look to others to validate your worth, fill that void. Are you sure you want to go down that road?

xi, the wonderful thing about being human is that we always have the option to change our minds, our view points, our journey through life. The fact that you are beginning to question your need for constant attention is very good on your part and demonstrates personal growth. Once you can isolate an issue in you and begin to question its importance in the rest of your life you open the doors to change. Whether you choose to walk through any of those doors is up to you. However, before you make your decision take a good hard look at all aspects of it. You are young right now and have lots of friends and need to decide if you would like to maintain lots of friends as you mature. If you stay a person that craves lots of attention then they will be friends to you but you will be too busy being needy of attention to care for them. One by one they will fall away. If acting or dancing are your passion then pursuing a career to live your passion would be a wonderful thing but to pursue it for the amount of attention you think it will bring you will only end in disappointment.
