That's also a very good idea. T and I realize I crave the attention but I need to get that from people I interact with in RL. I tried not starting threads for a while. I just have to get it through my head that what feels good at the time is NOT good for me in the long run. That's my problem. I like being the focus of attention because I don't get that much in RL. It's a dilemma. I did feel less triggered/stirred up when I didn't start threads. It's hard when there's a push and a pull at the same time. I'll try to follow through on your good suggestions, though.
