I hate feeling ignored and left out it seriously and I mean seriously bothers me.

I can't stand it. I can't stand feeling unwanted, left out and ignored. You can call me an annoying brat for all I care but just never ignore me. I like to be seen and heard. I have a constant need to be the center of attention and my voice to be valued. If I'm denied those things I seriously crack and go insane and get depressed.

You don't understand how badly it hurts me to be ignored and rejected.

I’m the EXACT same way. I really hope you can find ways to validate yourself.... It’s really hard being like this

@ShaythePanTransMan Have you gone as far as to make a fool out of yourself for attention? I've done it.

ShaythePanTransMan · 22-25, T

@Addictedtoglamour Yes, for sure. Many, many times. Worst one was in middle school where they sent me to a mental hospital for a check up because of what I did for attention.
It really sucks :/

@ShaythePanTransMan ☹ thankfully nobody has ever sent me anywhere. I'm sorry that happened to you. It's just like water to a plant really.

@Addictedtoglamour That’s great. It’s fine haha I was really really getting out of hand at the time anyway because I was really violent and sexual and I would do bad things for attention.
Anyway, I’d recommend DBT to you. It teaches you so many important skills, including ones about validating yourself and thinking before acting (thinking before making a fool of yourself by seeking attention).

@ShaythePanTransMan I guess I wont be taking a vacuum cleaner to the club anymore loudly pretending to be the cleaning lady

ShaythePanTransMan · 22-25, T

@Addictedtoglamour Oh? Why did you do that?

Addictedtoglamour · 31-35, M

@ShaythePanTransMan I thought it would be funny, get some laughs, captivate an audience. command attention

ShaythePanTransMan · 22-25, T

@Addictedtoglamour Oh...and it didn’t work?

Addictedtoglamour · 31-35, M

@ShaythePanTransMan it did and when it got old later on in the night I was ignored again

ShaythePanTransMan · 22-25, T

@Addictedtoglamour Oh...I’m sorry

Addictedtoglamour · 31-35, M

@ShaythePanTransMan it's not your fault

ShaythePanTransMan · 22-25, T

@Addictedtoglamour well I’m sorry for the bad experience.
Did you read what I said about DBT though? I really would recommend that for you

Addictedtoglamour · 31-35, M

@ShaythePanTransMan I did look on wikipedia about what it is and I don't think I quite understand what it all means.

ShaythePanTransMan · 22-25, T

@Addictedtoglamour Oh, really? What don’t you understand? It’s dialetical behavior therapy. It’s made up of four teaching modules: mindfulness (where you learn about emotion mind vs logic mind vs wise mind and how to be mindful), distress tolerance (where you learn how to calm down from emotion mind to wise mind), interpersonal effectiveness (where you learn how to validate people and yourself and how to talk dialectically and how to stop black and white thinking and how to effectively ask people for things and it’s in my opinion the most difficult module), and emotional regulation (where you learn how to stop certain bad patterns of thinking or behavior, how to get rid of roadblocks in your treatment, how to really chart if doing something is good or bad for you, you really target your bad urges in this one like self harm for example, this one is also very difficult).

@ShaythePanTransMan dialectical. I got hung up on that word.
