>I want someone's attention.
Yet you still struggle mightily with this. You still want to be self-sufficient, like it is a weakness to need other people. And you are picky about whose attention you want. Maybe this is about wanting to correct the past. I wish that you could try letting current people give you attention. It won't be what you are wanting, but it might be what you need. One of the challenges of this is that it won't solve the problem instantaneously, so it might feel like it isn't helping. But I think it is one of those things where you have to learn how it will help, that it will take some time to help. Can you establish relationships with current people (raising hand and waving it!!!)? Over time, these relationships may lessen your pain.
