Über diesen Titel
There’s a word that gets thrown around casually… but when it lands on someone with a mental illness, it can be devastating: “attention-seeking.”
In this episode, I share my own story — struggling with my mental health since I was 13 and hiding it for 16 years — and explore why calling someone attention-seeking can turn an already isolating, lonely experience into something even more painful.
We unpack why seeking attention isn’t negative: it’s often a cry for connection, a sign that someone cannot carry their pain alone. And when we label it as a flaw, it stops people from opening up, breaks trust, and can even prevent lives from being saved.
This episode is a reminder of why empathy, compassion, and listening matter more than judgment — and why we must never make someone regret reaching out.
