Even if attention seeking is what you do, THAT deserves empathic treatment, not criticism. I hate that phrase 'attention seeking". It's mainly an epithet used by jealous people who wish they were getting the attention you're seeking. And you might not even be seeking attention per se, but just don't know how to communicate your deepest feelings to the T. Sometimes several layers of armor are over the real you, and unfortunately you just haven't found the therapist who can help you through them.

The fact that you make appointments with therapists to start with means you have deeper troubles than can be resolved by casual friends, reading, etc. So, please don't give up on yourself. The right therapist is out there for you, I'm sure.
Thanks for this!
