I decided to post this here instead of general because someone told me I shouldn't post about what I feel on general. I have some personality disorder so I guess I'll post here. I'm not really depressed or anything.

I feel bad. I just want to cry right now. I don't know what's wrong. I want a lot of people to comfort me. Please comfort me.

I hate feeling this.

It's okay to need attention, and it's good that you can recognize what you need and ask for it the way you did.

(((((((((((( Greenleaves ))))))))))))))

I don't know if the amount of attention any of us can give you will ever be enough though, simply because we are an external source, and the emptiness you feel is on the inside. I'm reading a book now about "Healing the Addictive Mind." This book defines addiction as "pursuing happiness in things (people, places, substances) external to myself." Almost everyone does this to one extent or another. There are reasons for it. But in order to have real happiness and peace, you have to learn to find it inside yourself. Maybe we could all work on that together.

"Your task is not to seek for love,
but merely to seek and find
all of the barriers within yourself
that you have build against it."
- A Course in Miracles

You're right Rupunzel, I will never get enough attention. I'm like a bottomless pit. When I'm feeling badly I can't get enough attention. Attention doesn't keep me feeling good. I have to learn to give myself the attention I crave. I need to learn to self soothe.
