Some thoughts about attention seekers...
What makes some people crave attention more than others?

Any, why would this behavior pattern change during mid-life?

I find myself wondering these things...today...

while I'm beginning to feel lonely and unloved...

though I know it isn't true. I think. hmm..

I think I have post-vacation blues (even though a 2-day trip isn't really a vacation).

Okay. That is my expose' for the day.

Thank you for listening.

Midlife does strange things to people. Lots of patterns change then, and not all of them change for the better. I hope things get better soon. :hug:

14. Sometimes we need some validation
Mid-life kind of makes us take stock of our lives and wonder if we've made any kind of difference. I think we tend to suspect we haven't. So we look for some reinforcement of our value to others.

Around here, I know you have a lot of value, my friend. :pals: :loveya: :hug:
