Attention Addiction
I recently heard about this possibility – that it’s possible to become addicted to attention in much the same way someone can become addicted to smoking or drinking. All people need attention – some more than others. It’s possible to not get enough attention and that comes with some issues.…

More Insight into a New Way of Being
