This is it: this is your sign. You’re brand new, refreshed, empowered to change. Your calmer, softer times are coming. Your confidence, your happiness, your bliss, is arriving. Self acceptance is easier, and taking care of yourself is no longer a chore, but something you look forward to. You start to feel replenished - you’re *you* again - and the next chapter of your happier life begins now.

Don’t just think, ponder. Don’t just take, give. Don’t just see, feel. Don’t just dream, do. Don’t just hear, listen. Don’t just talk, act. Don’t just tell, show. Don’t just exist, live.”

Hello. What would you say is the antidote to attention seeking?

attention hiding

Seriously, I have no idea because I'm not qualified on this topic whatsoever. Could it be that "attention seeking" and the like probably comes from deep seated insecurity?

If so then it's probably something of a cycle, like: a person feels abandoned, neglected, unloved, or insecure -> acts out as a way to ask for reassurance and validation -> receives a reaction which temporarily sates the need and makes them feel better -> when that reaction ends, they feel newly abandoned and the cycle starts again.

If that's the case then what the person needs is to be able to break away from the cycle, to be able to self-soothe, or seek reassurance in a way which is lasting (such as through counselling). To develop a strong foundation of self-belief and security which doesn't rely on others.

I just don't like the term "attention seeking" very much because it has this air of bitterness to me, it reminds me of my own trauma and being told that whenever I showed any emotions I only was doing it with a self-serving aim of being coddled or reassured. Gives me the ick tbh and I think invites people to criticise others for performing emotions publicly
