❤️ Seeking Attention Is Often Positive & Healthy ❤️
Added 2021-10-05 13:06:41 +0000 UTC"Yes. Yes, you are attention seeking. And that's completely healthy. People crave positive reinforcement and validation from those we like and love. Stop being mean to yourself and start saying "it's just okay to want nice shit."

I tell myself that all the time the validation only comes from myself part

2021-10-05 13:37:25 +0000 UTCI'm so glad you're bringing this up. I hate it when people dismiss a person's cravings for validation from others and just judgingly say "The only form of validation should be coming from yourself. Work on this." It's such a fully-loaded comment that doesn't acknowledge the fact that validation from others is a completely natural want when managed properly. So thank you for pointing this out Tea :)

2021-10-05 13:14:10 +0000 UTCIndeed. I often don’t like being noticed and I’m very uncomfortable being the centre of attention. But the solitude is so difficult to deal with that sometimes I just want someone to acknowledge I exist. It’s why I mostly don’t post on social media but sometimes do if my depression is particularly bad. It is a form of attention seeking I suppose. Thanks Tea, as always 💙
