ARE THEY REALLY NOTHING?

  GOAL SETTING A college loving kid proving that he is not Nothing /Photo Courtesy /Tara Winstead Nothing? There comes a time in life when a kid has to grow up. And start making decisions. Life changing decisions for that matter. Decisions such as, going to college. And preparing for life’s biggest responsibilities. During this critical time. Parents are usually on the edge of their seats. They are on the edge because they are afraid of hearing some things. Kids have graduated high school and some have received invitations to some of the best colleges in the country. Parents in most occasions, want to keep the college conversation going. They want to talk about their kids’ college choices with their friends and neighbors. College conversation is a good conversation. Because most parents think that going to college is a window of opportunities. And to some extent it is, especially for those students who want to go to college. Kids that have already visualized the kind of professio...

4 TRAITS TO HELP YOU STOP CRYING FOR ATTENTION

BUILD BETTER HABITS

Crying For Attention

The modern society is a busy world. People are consumed by their own cares and responsibilities. They barely have time to look around and notice some things. And you cannot be the one crying for attention in a busy society. It is even sad for you to think that people are concerned about you. That they are genuinely interested in your presence or whatever noise you are making. People are caught up with a lot of things. Things such as, their own stress and other pressures of life. And their attention is on other pertinent issues that concern them. Those important issues are not you. People want to solve their own problems. They want to pay attention to their own responsibilities. People have their priorities cut out in front of them. So, stop wasting your time thinking that someone is interested in you.                                                      

Problem Following Simple Instructions

If, you are the type of person that does not listen. Then you have a big problem in modern society. If you want the same instructions repeated over and over again, then you got a problem following simple instructions. Your action of wanting other people to repeat things to you over and over again projects you as rebellious. If, you do not have any hearing problems. Then why would you want instructions repeated every now and then? The instructor was very clear from the beginning. What are you are telling other people around you with this type of behavior? That you don’t respect other people? Your actions of doing things, which have been highlighted as not appropriate depicts your defiant side. An ugly side that does not listen or respect. A part of you that does not respect boundaries. A behavior that demonstrates that you got problems with people.

You got problems with people who issued the instruction. And you are not communicating the problem. You are using your defiant side to communicate. To say that you do not care about what was said. That you do not listen to simple instructions. And you are looking for a confrontation. You want to create unnecessary fracas. You want to start fires that no one has interest in. Your lack of respect for yourself and other people is pushing you not to follow simple instructions. Instead, you want to go ahead and repeat the action you were warned against. You want to repeat the action to get back to the person who warned you. The person that said you cannot do that. But you are still doing that. You are just not doing that but also added a layer of arrogance by moving the goal post.

You want a fight. You want to be engaged again over the same issue. You want your unspoken words to provoke other people. You want to drive people into unnecessary argument. You not only have listening problem but also an attitude problem. By repeating what you were told not to do, you are acting like a child. Throwing tantrums by doing things you are supposed not to do. Your primary objective of engaging in all these activities is to get attention. You want to draw attention to yourself. You want to show other people that you can also talk. You can step on the toes of other people. You can trash other people. Yet all that was needed was for you to follow simple instructions. To stop doing what you were advised against. To start engaging in more common sense. To start thinking. To start being conscious. To be alive. To recognize that you live with other people.

And that people are different. Your hobbies are not other people’s hobbies. And you cannot just overstep because you enjoy your hobbies. The instruction was meant to teach you to mind other people. And to act in ways that show common sense in every day living. It was a friendly reminder. Not an invitation for a fight. The instructions were not meant for you to develop an attitude. The instructions were a polite reminder. A reminder that you are making noise for other people. A reminder that you are making other people uncomfortable by standing on the edges of their houses. You were bringing inconvenience in the lives of others. The instructions were meant to help you think better. To consider other people and their varied needs. The instructions were meant to tell you to go do your hobbies inside your house. And to stop being an obstacle. So, stop fighting. And start following simple instructions.

Challenging Authority

You are crying for attention if, you challenge authority a lot. There is absolutely nothing wrong with challenging authority. However, the habit of questioning everything without taking time to reflect on what an authority is saying, is just bad behavior. You like talking. You like fighting. But the things that you are fighting for do not need a fight. The authority just pointed out an obvious thing. Something that you were supposed to be aware of yet, you were unconscious. The authority wanted you to stop overstepping and trespassing. You need to stay in line. That the things you are doing are not good. You are acting like a child. Start thinking like an adult. Start behaving like someone who has common sense. Stop making other people uncomfortable. The authority wants you to know that you are making a fool out of yourself.

You are making yourself unpopular. You are acting unconsciously. The authority wants you to start using common sense. The authority wants you to stop acting like a fool. However, you are interpreting an authority’s message wrongly. You want to challenge something, which is within your control. You want to escalate a situation that does not need an escalation. Why do you want to draw all that attention? Because someone called you out? And you did not like being told the truth? What is wrong with you? Stop crying for attention. Instead, start thinking. Start using common sense. Stop trespassing. Stick to your environment. Ask permission before using something that is not yours. Stop challenging authority. Instead, look within and solve your personal and character problems.

Tension

Your problem is not just following simple instructions. Your problem too, is creating unnecessary tension. No one is fighting you. No one is interested in you. And your little head is tricking you into provoking other people. The tension that you are creating by constantly doing things that you are not supposed to do is unnecessary. Stop your uncalled for behavior. Stop fighting people. Stop behaving as if you know people. Yet you don’t know anything about other people. You are new to the environment. And you are using other people’s narratives about other people that they don’t know to develop an attitude and create tension. You have your own issues. You need to examine yourself. You need to ask yourself why you are so immature. Why will you have a problem with people you don’t know?

What is going on with you? If you are petty, not everyone is petty. People want to focus. People have moved on to other important things. Why are you still stuck on the same issue? An issue that was meant for your own good. Was it such a bad idea that someone noticed your bad behavior and point it out to you? Why are you emotionally attached? Why are you fighting authority? Why are you creating tension? When the next steps just needed you to correct yourself? Be a little considerate. And ensure that you apply common sense all the time. Why are you crying for attention by creating tension? No one is interested in engaging with you. The instructions were meant to help you see what you were not seeing. To put you back in line. To help you learn that people are different. Stop fighting and correct what needs to be corrected.

 Getting in the Way of Other People

No one needs you where they are, but you are strategically getting yourself in the way of other people. People who have nothing to do with you. Your petty ego cannot rest. Your petty ego wants you to fight. To escalate things out of control. To upset other people. To irritate other people. You are doing so by repeating things that you were warned against. Things that you were supposed to be aware of by yourself. And now you have taken the matter to a whole new level by trespassing. You want to use trespassing to provoke the person that called you out. You want an argument. You want to draw attention by pulling people into things that they have already solved. You are not correcting the mistake that you were called out for. And now, you want to create a new problem. A problem of getting in the way of other people.

If, a problem has already been called out, but you are still acting out. You have a problem brother. You need to mature up. Stop being petty. Stop letting your petty ego cheat you that you can fight back. That you can challenge. That you can disrespect. That you can trespass. That you will draw other people into your mess. Get a life! Learn to listen. Learn to correct. Learn to avoid being emotionally attached. Accept correction. No one wants to fight you. People want better for you. Stop creating inconveniences. Someone noticed your inconveniences and now you are not happy. You now think that, that someone wants a fight with you. Stop acting out. There is something wrong with you. You don’t know how to live within boundaries. You love overstepping, and you think everyone is like you. You think trespassing is good. And that there is nothing wrong with getting in the way of other people. Start being reasonable. You need to start using your common sense. Stop crying for attention.
