“Attention-seeker” - Ever been called that?
When you’re struggling with any of those things above, or similar things and someone calls you an “attention seeker”, it can be like being stabbed in the stomach and feeling the knife twisting.
After years of people calling me an attention seeker, I will admit that just this week, I was called it and it hurt… But here’s the thing: We are ALL attention-seekers.
Attention is a human NEED. So why do people insist on making us feel guilty about that? Why do people insist on making it out to be a bad thing, that only selfish people seek? Each and every one of us seek, or at least long for, attention.

so sick and tired of people telling me that I’m “not a real woman” because I “have no curves”. just because I’m naturally skinny and don’t have C’s and a Kardashian ass, I’m NOT REAL? well, guess what? I am real. I’m standing in front of you right now as a size 2, and I am comfortable and happy in it. but there are millions of women out there who are skinnier, who are larger, who are shorter, who are taller. who are blonde, brunette, have green eyes, brown eyes, what have you. and they are just as real and wonderful as I am. we are the women of the world. we are all human, we are all beautiful, and we are all real. and it’s high time the rest of the world realized it, too.
