I love my friends, and they say they love me – but for some reason part of me can’t believe them. I just want their attention – I give so much time to listening to their interests and passions but it feels like when it comes to mine I’m just not listened to.
I should be happy with my friends, I don’t know why I’m so miserable just because my needy ass isn’t getting attention… I’m pathetic.

When I talk to friends about my depression and suicidal thoughts, they fall asleep mid way through as if I was talking to nobody.
Man, that’s sad! 🙁 Luckily, here we listen to and understand each other.
Nah, you’re not pathetic! The fact that you crave their attention means they’re important to you and that you care about them. It’s a normal human behavior. They probably love you more than you realize. In case of doubt, just have a talk with them.
Grimhild, It’s strange sounds like your a listener, also you might be a fair person that allows other’s to talk, I have friends that can’t be quite LOL! Can’t get a word in! I hear people talk mostly telling the same stories over and over, they are the ones that are needy and need attention. Also you might try telling jokes everyone loves a person that’s funny, serious is boring.
I had acquaintances like that… Not anymore 😛 there’s better people to talk to, who take their time to speak to you in full sentences. But it’s extremely rare. We all need some level of attention, it’s not bad ..
