Is a cry for attention bad?

Is this a red herring?

No, it's not "bad" because nothing in this universe is good or bad. But it's another way that she is hiding her painful feelings instead of paying attention to them and embracing them.

No personal offense intended but how do you know all these ((((hugs)))) are hurting her rather than helping her? Have you asked her? Are you God? You don't know it ALL just because you've studied psychology or whatever!!!
