Episode 262: Feeling Bad for Wanting Attention & Diagnosis as a Crutch

Hello, all! So just a little heads up. I'm super annoyed because in this episode, there were a couple undesirable sounds including a loud as cricket that wanted to ruin my life and also a rattling microphone that was being dramatic whenever I slightly bumped it. Aside from that, it was a great episode that covers the following questions: I love my partner, but I crave attention from others. Why am I this way and what can I do about it? I may have borderline personality disorder, but don't want my diagnosis to be a crutch. What can I do to live a normal life?
