My boyfriend and I have been together for 6 months now and I'm feeling selfish lately. Yes, I know it's not good to be selfish in a relationship, but I'm selfish with attention. I always want his attention because I never get it at home. Like whenever he's playing guitar or something I'll just like mess with his guiatr till he stops playing... he says he thinks its cute? My sister is going away for college next year and everyone is paying attention to her, my parents even admit it. I got straight A's the other day and they never said congradulations.. considering that was the first time in my life to get straight A's it kind of hurt. So, you see my reasoning for wanting his attention alot. I've told him this and he said he understands and all, but I can't help but thing I annoy him sometimes. Lately I've said I love you and he'll say it back, but in a tone where he shouldn't of even said it at all... I don't know if what i'm doing is wrong, because I'm beginning to think that it is. I don't want to lose him because I need him really bad right now. Should I stop being selfish and let him do his own things and suck it up that I don't get attention? Or should I just keep the way I am...

But you can overcome it. i would try my hardest to try and not annoy him..and give him space..this way you wont lose him. if he really loves you..he wont break up with you because he'll understand you need attention. you can get attention from him when you guys are hanging out and you can also give him space and let him do his own thing. i hope everything works out ok..dont worry-
