I wonder if this is still a thing. When I was young teens there would be other girls parents would talk about and worry about as they were exhibiting behaviour or dressing provocatively to attract attention, "Daddy issues"- stereotypes. Well, what do these women do when they are adults? 40s? Can you be one in an introverted way where you hate attention from a whole group of people but want "special attention" from few?

There are days I feel like I'm channelling something of the spirit of this in more of a "please like me", "my God you were nicer to me than I expected so now I'm feeling an attachment and I know you can fucking hurt me without meaning to, but take this bit of my heart already! I don't expect yours in return but don't crush me, mkay!" Yup, "pathetic and desperate" I believe we're the words used in 2007. Guess some things don't change and unmet needs become bloody canyons that unsuspecting persons fall into accidentally. I'm sorry for the pressure. You don't need to take it on. It's my responsibility, but I don't know how to do life without being just a wide open heart for people to manoeuvre around.
