Are You In Need of Attention?

Sometimes I think the reason some of us find it so important that people be friendly toward us is because we are not receiving enough attention in our private lives. This may be especially true if you are single and living alone. Just how much attention have you been getting lately? Do you feel you are operating at a deficit right now? Just how much attention and what kind do you need in order to keep you happy?

I've been operating at a deficit for years....not sure I'd know how to act any other way

Define "attention;" social contact or something intimate? I guest teach, and see many peers and students, professionally and socially. Anything more intimate is either forbidden (as with students) or practically unfeasible (incompatible sociopolitical classes; they DO exist).

Fortunately medication covers the "keeping happy" part; it is irrelevant. But now and then I do miss it....

Annieoak hit the nail on the head. Been divorced over three years now, and not a single date. No one ever visits my house socially, not even people from church. I do get greeted by people at church, but that's only one day a week. And I do go to a home Bible study on Thursdays, which is nice, but I can't eat the goodies because I'm on a low-sodium diet..

I am quite content. I have an SO who is very attentive, a good friend at work, regular interaction with people in my bowling league and gym. I have been told that I am very approachable. Sometimes you have to put yourself out there - invite people for a meal, see a movie together, or go shopping.

I am referring to intimate personal attention.
