#or attention-seeking

[starbuck]

Not generally very interested in getting back on mental illness meds, but if they made an as-needed drug to counteract the thing that happens every few months where for five days or so my anxiety spikes and i get paranoid that everyone i know hates me and i’m doing everything wrong and my life is slipping through my fingers, then i’d take that 100% because i HATE being like this…

#i just want it to be overrrrrrrrrrr #it’s amazing how being 100% aware that this is The Mental Illness and none of it is real doesn’t help at ALL… #i’m FINE don’t worry it’ll pass - i’m just hhhhhhhhhhhh #these were definitely the conditions i used to do dumb shit under #which is somewhat validating in a way #if only because when this ISN’T happening to me i convince myself it’s not real and i’m just being overdramatic #or attention-seeking #but yeah no. this is Real. #no idea what it IS but we certainly never got a handle on treating it… #my psych did float that it might be bipolar but idk if it’s serious enough for that?? #altho i think it used to happen more when i was younger and under more stress so who knows #i’m just such an absolute DICK to everyone when i’m in this state… it makes me such an asshole #and i just want it to STOP. #which like. it will. #but maybe it could stop sooner?? NOW perhaps?????????? #ugh. #if anyone has advice feel free to lmk… #i don’t have much better ways of coping than staying the fuck away from other people as much as i can #and keeping my own mind focused on things that don’t agitate it #but that’s not as effective as i’d like it to be #and it’s frustrating

'recovering' or 'healing' by starting to hate your former self + shame or mock others for being the way you used to be isn't actually very healing. you can acknowledge + be grateful that you have changed without transferring all your self hatred/shame onto others.

#i see so many ppl like omg i was so cringe with my b/w depression blog + my angsty posts + attention seeking #like no you were just. sad. that's how you were sad then. it's not how you are sad now. #you should have empathy for ppl like that but you don't because you still hate yourself #and you can't stand to see yourself in others because you haven't. actually done much healing lol

Friendly (or unfriendly if you're against this) reminder that this blog is supportive of ALL disorders. This blog does not think ANY disorder inherently makes someone a bad person, and is against any disorder being demonized. This blog wholeheartedly believes that a bad person having a disorder, yes, even if things that are also symptoms of their disorder are part of what caused harm, does not make the disorder a "bad" or "evil" disorder or excuse ableism and demonization directed towards the disorder.

Yes this includes personality disorders

Including npd and aspd

Yes this includes all psychotic disorders & disorders that cause psychotic symptoms

Yes this includes paraphilic disorders. All of them.

Yes this includes disorders that cause, or are even characterized by, attention seeking

Yes this includes disorders that directly have lying as a common symptom

Yes this includes dissociative disorders

Yes this includes any disorder with "gross" symptoms

Yes this includes physical disorders too

Yes this includes disorders that can cause loss of control of any kind- control of speech, control of body movement, etc.

Yes tis includes disorders that make someone "look scary"

This goes for literally any fucking disorder. There are not exceptions.

#disability activism #ableism #demonization #disability awareness #personality disorders #npd #aspd #psychotic #psychotic disorders #paraphilic disorder #attention seeking #pathological lying #dissociative disorder #idk what other tags to put #also additional note I literally have a couple disorders on this list #and symptoms of several too #so if you're thinking of trying to argue on this post just fuck off #I guarantee you will not change my mind #and I don't want to hear it either

i'm sure you do, buck

(or, top three insane things to say to your bestie bro)

[ID: three gifs of Evan Buckley and Eddie Diaz from 911 episode 7.05, in the firehouse gym. Buck is in a black shirt with black jeans, a green coat on top, while Eddie is in LAFD issued gym shorts and a T-shirt, exercising.

GIF 1: Buck gesturing aimlessly up and down Eddie's body with his fingers as he comments amusedly, "which is why you're so...pent-up."

GIF 2: Eddie bracing his hands against the edge of the bench as he lowers his body up and down to do tricep dips. He's staring determinedly off into space as he grunts out a "yeah."

GIF 3: Buck watching with clasped hands, spreading them out palms open sympathetically as he tells him, "Well, I wish I could help."

"women will never understand being sad and having no one to care about it or take it seriously" how many memes about teen girls "seeking attention" through posting pictures of their self-inflicted wounds to tumblr have you reposted in 2014? how many times have you joked that you're going to cut yourself whenever the smallest inconvenience happened in reference to this in 2014? how many of these girls did you care about and to how many how you reached out in order to help them?

#god that was an epidemic #using attention seeker as an insult to them too #of course they were seeking attention they wanted someone to help #and even if they wanted tumblr likes for that it's not any less concerning and it certainly isn't funny #radblr

in recent years, there's been a push in therapeutic circles to shift the language from "attention-seeking" to "connection-seeking" behavior.

i was an attention-seeker. i was the textbook example of an attention-seeker. i was a troublemaker. i would self-harm. i destroyed my own relationships. i was uncontrolled, dramatic, sensitive. i took everything personally. i had "nothing" to be depressed "about," but made a big show of how sad i was nonetheless. i was really unsafe about myself in a lot of ways.

the strange thing about that is: it meant others could ignore me. the prevailing wisdom behind knowing something is "attention seeking" is to say: well, since you want it that bad, you're not getting any. it meant i was lower-on-the-list of concern. it meant an eye-roll.

the belief was that: since i was obviously doing these things on purpose, it would be bad behavioral training if i was "rewarded" for it. it would "teach me" that i simply had to make enough fuss, and i'd finally get all that missing attention and love. no, it was better to ignore that stuff.

i was suffering. and it felt like - oh, it doesn't matter how loudly i am in pain, nobody gives a shit about if i'm living or dying.

awhile ago, i went through my journals from that time. a lot of them read the same thing. in them, i am convinced i am invisible. that nobody wants to hear me, to see me. that i could die or vanish and nobody would even notice. i didn't even want attention - not really - because it was always dismissive, mocking. nothing i ever did would be good enough to get someone to actually-worry about me.

that's a terrifying thing for me to read as an adult. that is a child who fully has no problem committing. that is a child who has no concept of feeling loved. the most basic human instinct is missing from her life.

i needed help. i didn't know how to ask for it. i was a kid. i was a kid in a bad home, and whenever i thought things couldn't get worse there - they almost always did.

and the ways i showed that - the ways i tried to deal with that - they made others dismiss me. i wasn't suffering prettily. after all, if i was really in trouble, why wouldn't i just march into the first counselor's office and ask someone to help me? i had the opportunities, right? what did i think would happen, exactly? that someone would finally stand up and do something? who even wants that kind of responsibility?

i heard connection-seeking for the first time about three months ago. my therapist mentioned it when we were talking about my history. it rang some kind of horrible bell, deep inside me. i don't know what she said in the rest of her sentence. i just started... crying.

"oh no", i said to her. "i think i just realized: i have no idea how to forgive them for minimizing the ways i was hurting."

how many other kids, though. how many other kids were out there drowning, snatching around for a lifevest, some kind of rope - how many were straight-up ignored.

how many of those kids aren't gonna get old.

#the thing i teach my preschoolers is #if something bad happens to u #and it hurts you #tell someone #and KEEP TELLING SOMEONE #UNTIL SOMEONE BELIEVES YOU #it is NEVER your fault for telling the truth #it is THEIR fault for not hearing you #if you are like me and ''attention seeking'' #please #if u can #GET HELP. GET THE HELP YOU NEED. #at some point we all have to do this on our own #it has to be our own personal work #but you DESERVE someone who will help you to do that work #a therapist a teacher a doctor whomever #YOU DESERVE HELP. #you deserve connection #and i love you #suicide implied #tw self harm

Recluse Owner, Bookshelf Gremlin, and the Cute Cafe Guy

A new bookstore/cafe opens, almost overnight, in Gotham.

They say it can find very rare books, heck maybe even books lost to time, unfinished manuscripts, rare writings from famous writers, etc etc.

As long as you respect the books within you won't have a problem with the recluse and introvert owner GW.

As for the cafe side, you can always count on friendly Danny to help you out, either it be an order from his cafe or to finding a book if GW isn't around. (Though beware of the younger, sometime around Dani (with an I) is working, she's a bit of a troll compared to her brother)

Jason totally is checking the place out... You know cause its totally giving weird vibes (good weird vibes, almost like its calming the raging Pits) and not just because it has a first edition Jane Austin (that the owner is totally maybe thinking of selling to Jason cause he can sense this man would treat it with respect)... Or that the tea is calming as heck.... Or watching Dani ("I like you. You can totally call me Ellie!") chaotically troll everyone around her.... Or that her older brother is fucking cute as hell... Who he may or may not had watched accidentally kill the Joker when the guy had been closing up the shop alone one night and had been caught in the alleyway on his way home...

No its totally cause this place is... off. Nothing else.

#danny phantom #danny fenton #dp x dc #blue rambles #crossover #writing ideas #random idea #danny phantom dc #jason todd #dpxdc #danielle phantom #dani phantom #ghostwriter #Danny and Dani had to go into hiding from their world #Vlad was dumb and brought the attention of being a halfa to the the GIW or the Fentons #So they booked it into the GZ after shutting down the portals and got rid of the blueprints #Danny's friends and Jazz are making sure no one can start making a new one on their side. They keep in touch with Fenton Phones though #But just staying the Zone isn't the best for young Halfa's #CW advised them to maybe seek out Ghostwriter #Ghostwriter and Danny butted heads for a bit but have talked it out #GW library doors can open to different places/worlds #its how he keeps up with new writing works and other things #he always wanted to open a bookstore so its easier to just order books instead of going to one but that means talking to...ugh people. #He even knows of a good place to open business with just enough ectoplasim to keep the connection to the GZ open. Gotham City. #Jason starts feeling at home in their shop #because its connected to rich and pure ectoplasim from the GZ #He also might had a tiny crush on Danny whose the friendly face of the store #Dani is the chaos gremlin who likes to hide on top the bookshelves and spreads rumors the place is haunted. It technically is but still. #GW is the grumpy recluse owner 'cousin' that glares at everyone disrespecting his books

“What were the Beatles really like? She’s asked this every day. “Very irreverent, very flirty,” she says, “just like my own boys growing up. That John Lennon was a very naughty boy. He preferred men. He was very shy with women, you know, trying to get confidence in himself with that naughty schoolboy humour, that catch-the-girl, kiss-the-girl thing. If you came on as a siren, he’d run a mile.””

Cilla Black, interview in the Telegraph, August, 1997

#paul mccartney #john lennon #mclennon #the beatles #also known as cuteness aggression #or manhandling (like the hug) #or attention seeking #maybe the quote is a reach but is this not peak schoolboy behaviour??

It is honestly starting to feel like y'all using transandrophobia are actually just girls that wanted to feel extra special. Stopped experiencing misogyny so now you need a new problem. Get a life.

This is such low-grade anon hate, I was just making fun of another anon for doing the whole worn-out “you’re just girls who want to feel special” thing in my inbox. I’ll still post this for documenting purposes as well as because it’s really funny you’re saying I don’t still experience misogyny while being misogynistic to me. Thanks for the example of transandrophobic rhetoric, but be more creative next time.

#‘you’re actually just a little girl seeking attention’ woooow where have I heard that before. only literally everywhere get better lines #this is such nothing anon hate it’s almost suspicious. is someone trying to make me look better /hj #transandrophobia #transphobia #misogyny #as

The more time I have Astarion in my party and getting to see more and more of his personality, the more I realize that Gale and Astarion are more or less the same—both personality and story wise (obv their stories are very different, but the key features driving their stories are eerily similar). The only major difference between their personalities is that Gale is more aligned with good, and Astarion is more evil aligned.

Think I’m kidding? Spend a playthrough talking to Gale and Astarion literally every chance you get (especially at camp), and sooner or later, you’ll see just how similar these power-hungry attention-seeking manwhore malewifes these motherfuckers are

#I love my power-hungry attention-seeking manwhore malewives <3 #baldurs gate 3 #baldur's gate 3 #also listen to their overworld banter #or hell even some of Astarion’s commentary in regards to Gale #like if the game didn’t want me to ship them then why make them like this #baulders gate astarion #baldurs gate astarion #bg3 astarion #astarion #astarion x gale #bloodweave #bg3 gale #baldur's gate 3 gale #baulders gate gale #gale of waterdeep #bg3

"I don't think Buck is attracted to Tommy" be so for real and clean those biased glasses right now.

#911 abc #bucktommy #evan buckley #tommy kinard #i have to assume these people are really young #even if you don't like them that doesn't mean buck isn't attracted to tommy #he's so obviously attracted to him #he's flustered and fumbling and rambling #just like oliver said his next relationship should make him #man has been seeking his attention despite what certain people think #buck is DOWN BAD for tommy #and tommy for him

I think we need to remember dnp are massive attention whores and I would not be surprised if they saw the attention Courtney & Shayne from smosh got from a hard launch and said fuck it

combining these and adding that i can't help but feel like dan and phil are weirdly proud and possessive of that Ultimate YouTube RPF Pairing title, at least as far as ones that ended up being real go. for all the pain this shit has put them through they know how iconic they are and i would not put it past them to see another speculated youtube couple hard launch and get tons of attention for it and be like... ok but remember us?

#i do think people forget or just don't realise how attention seeking dnp really are lmao #they value their privacy above all else but MAN do they love causing shit #answered
