I like Madis' reply.

At times, PC is my only real support. My boyfriend may be giving me a hard time, I may be dealing with too much stress from work, and the few friends I do have may not be available.
So, I may have a limited social circle. I may not be considered 'normal' - not in a social situation right then anyway.
When I reach out for help, that's how I'm feeling. I don't believe there's something like "Crying out for attention" - if you need attention, it's a very real need.
