Interesting, is it like you're unconsciously "testing" people to see if they really care or not? Also, with your daughter do you ever feel empathy towards her even if it's "shallow"?
It might do you some good to look at why you have that need to be the center of attention. Maybe if you figure it out you can work with yourself a bit better eh?
I'm wondering what other people consider "dramatic" or "shallow"... because like you said you feel what you feel.
Do you feel guilty/remorseful if you manipulate people? I'm glad you're getting help, I hope that your relationships start going more smoothly for you. Again, thanks for answering my questions.

To answer your question about shallow verses dramatic, FOR ME, it depends on who, what, the situations is, I can be very shallow towards things that most people are dramatic about, like a dangerous situation I am numb i dont feel, i dont care, idk I am like that, but I dont care about any consciousnesses, BUT when it comes to parties and men and or fun, my feeling become very dramatic and i become very self centered, as summer yoga said, EMDR has helped me alot, so have my children, as well as church and the bible, but before i got help, I would put myself in very dangerous situations and didnt care, F***K em I want to do what i want to do, thats it! Sounds horrible but its the truth, I always figured it was a teenage thing, but it lasted into my ealry adult life, until I got myself into some serious troubles and went and got help......I still am programmed to feel the way i feel, and dont when I dont, b ut Im trying to "practice", to act accordingly, but BY no means is it a natural reaction, sometimes I feel as though Im working against myself to do right things idk if this helps???
