Even if a follower by nature, something like this tends to not be for attention seeking. I would be gentle, about getting into counseling, and not be quick to place burden on the follower/attention aspect either. I used to do this, in my early teens. There was an inner pain, that needed addressing. My parents were divided on counseling. My dad brought me to it, my mom said it was attention, or to just stop it and cope.

I did, stop, mid teens. But not before venturing to a darker place... I'm in my late 30's now. Pre-emo times...
Thanks for this!
