Hi. Thank you for sharing your inner world. This may not have been easy, but it is courageous of you to seek professional support. If you feel lonely when you are alone, try to understand “why”. Some questions that you can explore are - Are you unable to understand yourself fully? Is it hard for you to meet your own needs? Do you support your wants/ needs/ goals? Are you anxious about doing something that is not right? Do you think you exist only when another person validates your existence? Some ways to spend time alone- 1. Read a book 2. Try a guided meditation 3. Clean your table/ room 4. Go for a walk 5. Spend time with a pet 6. Journal your feelings 7. Try adult colouring books 8. Watch a movie you may like 9. Plan your goals 10. Stay in silence Your behaviour may not exactly be attention seeking from others, but more about being able to fulfil your own wants and take care of your stress or anxiety. I am sorry that you are not feeling at your best right now. To understand you better, Counseling & psychotherapy with a psychologist will help you, since every person is different and unique. Hope the answer helped you. Take good care.

Hi... Its not attention seeking behaviour to not be able to stay alone or enjoy one's own company. We all have a temperament of our own which is even observable in infants. You can see one infant lying calmly, another crying, another very active, another sleeping all the time. These are all different temperaments. Then environmental factors (parenting, peer group, school, college, etc.) groom our basic temperament. I suppose you were always a bit more emotional person for whom other people always mattered. There is no point in trying to completely change who you are, rather it will be better to just learn to work upon yourself in such a way that your personality is no longer a predicament.

The first step to knowing whether you engage in attention-seeking behavior is to know precisely what it means. Attention-seeking behavior is quite simply doing things that are likely to get others to notice you. Any number of behaviors could fall under this category. Examples Of Attention-Seeking Behavior: "Fishing" For Compliments True compliments are the kind that is given without being asked for. If you feel confident about yourself and put effort into your work, relationships, and self, you're likely to have your efforts acknowledged. Some people, however, feel guilty or deeply insecure about who they are. Insecurity can cause people to seek constant validation from others. Most of us fish for compliments at some point or another, and it's not always a sign of low self-esteem. However, it becomes a problem when a person consistently uses compliments as their only source of self-worth. Though it feels good to be acknowledged by the people around us, it's also important to find ways to validate ourselves. By doing so, you can find a sense of security without needing praise from others. If you find yourself relying heavily on others' opinions of you, it may be time to look at why. Though it's completely natural to want to feel respected and valued, putting too much pressure on others to instill confidence in a person can strain relationships. A good first step is to start building confidence in your self-worth. A licensed therapist can also help you develop a healthy sense of confidence. You are worthy of love and acceptance as you are. Seeking Sympathy Sympathy seeking is another common form of attention-seeking behavior. Unfortunately, it often takes the form of negative attention. Rather than receiving attention and praise for your good qualities, you're receiving sympathy - or even pity - for your misfortunes. This is not to say that sympathy is bad, but it is unhealthy to attempt purposefully to gain sympathy from others. Intentionally looking for sympathy may play out as engaging in risky behaviors, indulging in situations you know are unhealthy, and can even lead to you causing harm to yourself. These behaviors can be extremely dangerous. It's important to remember that there are other ways to seek out support that don't involve putting yourself, or others, at risk. Feigning Lack Of Ability This behavior is often seen in young children, but sometimes adults will also try to use this to their advantage when they feel neglected. Feigning a lack of ability means you ask others to perform tasks for you because you tell them that you can't. By pretending to be inadequate in certain areas, you gain the attention of others and have someone holding your hand through things - even at the risk of making yourself seem inadequate. There are many different reasons you might be tempted to seek out attention, including low self-esteem or a fear of being neglected. A person could also exhibit these attention-seeking behaviors as a result of heightened emotions. When a person feels intense emotions of rage, jealousy, or abandonment - they may react irrationally. In that case, the behaviors may be temporary or as a result of poor impulse control. When this behavior happens repeatedly, it can become habitual. In these cases, people utilize unhealthy attention-seeking behaviors consistently. Here are some of the common causes of chronic attention-seeking. Low Self-Esteem Many people who seek negative attention have low self-esteem, and they feel insecure about themselves. They may be afraid that others can't feel genuine love for them or feel inadequate. As a result, some people with low self-esteem may overcompensate to disguise their feelings or act in ways that give them a temporary sense of power. Signs of low self-esteem include: Bragging,Being easily bossed around,Being excessively timid or aggressive,Showing a false self to others,Being indecisive and uncomfortable with making decisions,Rebelling for no apparent reason,Putting a lot of stock in material possessions. Attention Seeking Behavior And Its Relation To Personality Disorders Attention seeking can be a part of a personality disorder. Personality disorders often associated with attention-seeking include narcissistic personality disorder, histrionic personality disorder, and borderline personality disorder. All three personality disorders are part of a cluster known as dramatic personality disorders or cluster B personality disorders.
