Of course, this isn't always the case. There are plenty of people who simply want relief from a tremendously hard time. But realistically, people are naturally self-centered to some degree. It just feels good to gain that level of attention sometimes.
Oh no sympathy.......I don't like that and the very last thing I want is to be the center of attention. I like to post here and other forums because I am anonomous(could never spell this word). I would not share my issues with people I know and if I did it would be just a tad! I know my issues have to be solved by me with the tools I have gotten from good therapy and my Al-anon program!!
