I really don't want to come across as a bad person but I have noticed that I have a habbit of exagerrating my emotions to get sympathy from others. I get depressed about things sometimes and I feel like they are not concerned enough. My friends often tell me to 'stop being so dramatic'. There was a time a while ago when I told someone that I was suicidal when I wasn't really feeling quite that bad. I got into trouble because of it. I also felt sometimes like I want to be diagnosed with an illness just to get sympathy. I really don't mean to be like this, but I can be very manipulative at times. I have aspergers syndrome, but I'm not sure if this problem is caused by that. Does anyone know why I might be like this?
