I mean, spending so many years being made fun of and being derided for wanting basic things like attention is gonna make you feel super manipulative when you feel kinda lonely, jealous, angry or sad. no wonder I experience RSD, I was made to feel weird and different. I could isolate myself so easily and at the back of my mind felt unlikeable, no wonder I often feel unworthy getting other people's attention. I'm a lonely, touch-starved/touch-repulsed attention seeker who felt horrible for not being able to stand up for themselves.
