Sex / Pornography Addiction Support Group
Sexual addiction, also sometimes called sexual compulsion, is a form of psychological addiction to sexual intercourse and other sexual behavior.
ok i dont know if i belong here in the group or not i dont know how to classify myself i am not addicted to sex, i dont have it often, enough, i am addicted to wanted to have attention, not having someone pay attentino to me but to have people to talk to all the time, no matter what, i find myself talking to females though because of some past issues i dont feel comfortable talking to men. and then i get this feeling of loving that person, which i dont, nor do i act on, i am married, and how i am feeling is all just strange and i cant figure out what my deal is
Addiction to attention is unhealthy since it leaves you not able to have control over the encounter. Now, the best way to seek help for this issue you are currently having is to look for a therapist to establish why you indeed feel that you need this attention in your life.
The need for attention often has its roots in insecurity brought on by childhood experiences with either parents or other grown ups who were distant in some way or the child perceived it to be not enough attention paid to said child, leaving the now adult feeling needy in some way.
Perhaps, while you are looking for an appropriate therapist, you could start by realizing that you are enough, that you do not need any validation in any way by anyone because you are whole and complete as you are.
Unconditional acceptance of oneself often solves the need for attention since we will no longer be looking outside of ourselves for what we require because we know we either have it already or we are already what we seek in others.
Hope this helps,
