Is it normal to feel special when others are concerned about you?

85% Normal

So I have been struggling with a lot of stuff lately, and I'm in therapy for it. I saw my psychologist on Monday and told her some new stuff that is going on. She was concerned about me and asked that I come back next week. I felt really special and liked that I was "getting through to her". Then the next day I get a call from her office (the front desk). They tell me my psychologist is "really concerned" about me and would like to see me the next day. Once I got off with them, I noticed I had a voice message. It was from my psychologist. She wanted me to check in with her. I'm not sure why, but I felt really special getting all this attention and knowing that they were thinking of me. It's turned out not to be the type of attention I want, but before the appointment today I was loving it. So is it normal? I kind of feel like it's partially my fault for being so open with her and having an ego about the attention.

Is It Normal?

    Is it normal? Yes. But I think you should keep in mined that your psychologist does not have any feelings stronger than a freind would (and sometimes not even that) he/she does not love you

    You shouldn't use her as a friend. You'll get hurt later on unless you can afford to book her till you die

    Attention makes us all feel special, some purposely seek it out and not with the best intentions, because it makes them feel good.

    Its about getting the balance right, with the right kind of attention, from the right people, for the right things.

    The best kind of attention is from caring friends or loving family.

    You're just a little attention deprived. It's normal.
