I've gone through a period where I had some attention-seeking behaviors. It is manipulative, and not well-received by others.
A therapist is definitely the way to go on this. Best of luck.

I need to get to where I feel okay to ask directly for help instead of trying to lure people to me. I'm afraid to be direct I guess. I'm afraid I will be denied. Major neglect issues. Maybe I test people to "see how much they love me." I will honestly admit that if I don't get the attention I want, I will employ the "well, I'll show them!" tactic and let myself fall apart. It's pathetic. Could this be a borderline thing?
Sorry, I know this isn't quite the right venue for this, I just feel so messed up and confused right now. A lot of weird things are coming up for me right now, and it's hard to sort out what's what.
Thank you for being patient with me.
