Hello, can you please tell me the mental health disorder that is characterized by a person who was always ignored and considered as not acceptable by family, and that person, as a result, constantly strives to achieve highs of happiness and accomplishment by not only attaining great feats of success, but also advertising that success?
Many decades later, the family still rejects her, which makes her feel dumped and not accepted by her family. Those feelings drive her to do something successful, such as earn a degree, build an amazing career, win an award, etc. and this makes her feel so much better. She thinks in her head, "Look at what I accomplished. You rejected me and turned your back on me, but look at the great things I did even better than you. Do you feel bad for rejecting me now? Do you accept me now?"
