Blog Subject:  am i anattention seeker

when I was a child I used to force myself into peoples lives. I used beg for attention from everyone even random strangers. I couldn't tell when I was being rejected and hence constantly acted dramatically. the problem is that I cant tell whether im still like that and I don't know why I do it. its like I have no control over how I act or who i open up to. I open up to people ive just met and I end up feeling worse cos I think theyre laughing behind my back.

Welcome to the forum, la187. I'm sorry you haven't had more replies. We do most of our chat in the forums themselves. And mostly use blogs for self reflective posting. Because, at least for me. I find it hard to remember who's blog I've posted to. There's no way to track conversations like there is in the forum.

You could try starting a new thread in living-with-mental-illness/ perhaps? That is our general area for discussions of all sorts. Or, this is NOT a diagnosis. But you might find some common ground in the histrionic-personality/ forum. No need to have a formal diagnosis to post there, or anywhere. If it feels comfortable to you. Or you find something interesting to comment on. Go for it. :)
