    I post selfies when I'm having a good hair day, which is sometimes rare when you have naturally curly hair and it calls for photo documentation.
    And hell yes sometimes I need to be validated. You think people in real life at work or on the street are going to blow smoke up my *kitten* and tell me my eyeliner is on point?

    But I don't live and die by the opinion of internet friends' opinion of me. I do me for me.

    YES!! Were you always this way though? Was there ever a point when mfp WAS the live and die by kind of thing?

    Nah. I mean at first the attention was confusing and overwhelming, but it was easy to see most of that wasn't genuine. I don't generally do well with much attention though so that was something new for me.

    As someone who is very overweight, when people notice I've lost weight, I like it when they say something. I have medical issues that make losing weight hard, so when people notice the work I've put into losing weight, it makes me feel accomplished. Do I constantly post selfies because I want people to give me all this attention? No, never been that person, never will be that person. I don't even post in the selfie thread here. Never go in it anymore. When I want to see stories where people lost weight or did some major toning , I'll go to a different part of the forums.

    I'm needy AF and it comes and goes.

    I know that feeling and usually with me only 2 things help. Compliments or chocolate lol Preferably both.

    I don’t consider myself needy. In fact I have to watch myself because I’m very critical of people that scream for attention and I know it’s not fair of me to judge. Everyone has their own reasons for doing stuff and I can definitely be more sensitive. On very rare occasion, I’ll post in the selfie thread because I’m extremely critical of myself. I pick on my every single flaw and rip myself apart on a daily. I rather hide behind the scenes and not draw attention to myself.
