Oh no I agree, attention seeking can be very indirect and I know what you mean about people having their own worries.. I've been on both sides of tthis situation.

I've been on both sides too - That way you have better judgement. Admittedly, back when I saw the guy on the bus I was ignorant of self-harming and depression. I judged him quickly and left it at that.

I admit to judging also...
Can I admit something that will make me seem like a cold hearted bitch?

Go ahead, but please understand that I no longer judge people. I attempt to understand everything that is put before me and if I fail to understand it I use my favourite line: "There is good to be found in everything".

Hi,
I am so happy for you and I hpe you are still holding out. I feel that when you stop doing it you realize how very introvert you have been.
Be well, Lovisa.

I wasn't inferring that we should ignore or 'think' things about depressed people. On the contrary, we need to speak to them to know what exactly is wrong with them. With regard to children I meant that we should always aim to lead our children in the right direction in life. However, sure, if a child is depressed you certainly DON'T ignore them - Too many children are ignored these days.
About the guy with the t-shirt: He can definately wear a t-shirt whenever he wants. However, when he was on the bus it appeared that he was trying his best to show-off his cuts. At the time I was angry at him but right now I wish that I had spoken to him to find out what was wrong in his life.
I have purposefully tried to show-off cuts before too - It was during my downslide into depression. During that time my friends ignored me whenever I said I didn't feel good - That was very hard to take. The only person who figured that I was depressed was a girl called Marie. However, we were set for a fall because we wanted different things from our relationship. When the fall came I lost touch with every sense of optimism in life.
So, I know that depressed people need attention. If you ignore them they might become angrier and therefore more depressed. I am sorry for the confusion my friend.
*hug*
Kevin.
Alright then we understand each other

I do it when my anxiety is really bad and wont pass for like days and I feel like there is no other way to "wake up" from it again. But when you have stsarted it is easy to use it more frequently but at the moment I like to think I won´t do it again. I haven´t for months.

Hey,
Welcome back justlovisa - It's good to have you back. To PM a person click on the 'PM' button that you see after any post made by that person. PMs are 'Private Messages'. crazy_kimberly has already told me of her confession so you can PM her too if you want.
Kevin.
