I have the same kind of thing going on.

I guess because my childhood was abussive, I didn't get to be a child and I didn't get mothered.

There has been different people such as teachers, tutors and closer people who I feel the need to get them to like me and care about me because I didn't have that.

I think it's just kind of your inner self looking for an emotional attachment to fill the void of what you missed out on as a child/teen
