I think my behavior is more reassurance seeking than attention seeking but honest opinions pls

I feel you are looking for specific answers to validate your experiences… however when we say you have delusional beliefs its not to insult you at all, its because most of us have and do experience those from time to time and we have insight to know what they are better than a lot of people who don’t understand mental illness

Reassurance is a type of attention, so yes, you’re seeking attention. However, we are all seeking a little attention on this site. It’s a support group.

I guess you’re right
In my opinion there isn’t anything inherently wrong with seeking attention

I think there is a big difference between seeking attention, and asking for support. There’s a difference between the two.

All of the things I have been talking about here are true and honest reflections of my experience
Is that really seeking attention tbh
Yes I may annoy people by posting the same post over and over again but thats just me trying to get an answer that satisfies me
Yes but I feel its because you getting answers that dont agree with the way you see things… I think you being honest with the way you see things and we are being honest in how we see your situation … the word delusion is not used here to insult you… I mean why would we do that when we ourselves have those from time to time… we not against you we are trying to help
… part of me feels you know deep inside you do have unusual experiences but maybe feel people will judge you differently… don’t know

You have unusual experiences… maybe that would be better to say? I’m sorry you are struggling with this… do you knpw when I came here 10 years ago i had not even a clue what psychosis was and did everything I could to not be seen that way… I used to research so much to try and find a reason that said I didn’t have psychosis…thought maybe the pdoc was wrong… then I realised the labels aren’t that important because i found meds that helped me see the situations more clearly

I used to look for organic reasons for reason to psychosis. Now that I accepted it my family doesnt and think I can just snap out of the damage.
i stopped expecting ppl to understand.
now i dont really say or do much publicly.
but because ive been doing so ive noticed that everyone has their own personality.
maybe ppl who are quick to call it “attention seeking” feel like u took their spotlight lol

if you are delusional, you still have control…if you are schizophrenic, you will eventually lose all touch with reality and be very paranoid…I wish you luck…and no I don’t think you are seeking attention deliberately.

Yes I had control when I was delusional
that may be true that you have control now, but if you are delusional you will eventually go through brain damage from being ill and have to be put on meds…
They put me on meds already… abilify injecions
