I can be the same way. Mainly I notice on my birthday. I hate my birthday because I don't want any gifts or attention. I think it is a self esteem issue. I have gotten much better about it over the years. I do deserve help and positive healthy attention. We all want validation and to be accepted. The problem is we can often seek in out in unhealthy ways. Shocking statements, drama queen, passive aggressive and so on.
We have to learn to identify our needs and be able to ask in a healthy way to get them met.
