Is it normal to always want attention but always want to be alone?

I always feel the need to try to get attention on myself, but feel bad trying to do it because I don't feel like I deserve any attention. I feel like I'm whoring myself out whenever I try to get the smallest bit of attention and it makes me feel terrible, but I hate being without attention.

Is It Normal?

  • While not normal in society it's normal in long term depression. You are not alone in this

  • Wanting attention is normal, no-one wants to feel irrelevant or forgotten.

    What do you do when you want attention and why do you feel you’re “whoring yourself out”?
