I think some stuff is cool, but it definitely can't be self pity.

It’s often those struggling with attachment issues who engage in this behavior. While not everyone with attachment challenges or codependency acts this way, it seems more common among those seeking external validation rather than trusting their own feelings. Instead of relying on their inner sense of self or engaging in honest, mature conversations with others—or even with themselves—they may externalise their need for reassurance. This reflects a deeper disconnect from their own emotional autonomy and a struggle to navigate relationships in a healthy, grounded way.
