It could be the crowd you are getting attention from. In your new circle of friends, you could be higher up the pecking order compared to the general population. Plus there is the medical attention from doctors and shrinks.
I don't see my relationship with my friends in that way. That's...a bit competitive. I don't compete with my friends, I just share their company, we are all equals in my eyes, and I believe they share the same view.
Yes, I enjoy seeing my psychologist because she is someone I can talk to about the good and the bad in my life. I can say I could probably do without seeing my psychiatrist but I have to see him every now and then. And the endocrinologist is a good idea to see, but I certainly don't relish the full body physicals...
What are you getting at anyway?
I'm a bit baffled as to why Phlexor made the comment about attention seeking.
From what I can see you are trying to relish as much as possible the fact that you are living your life openly.
Aside from my own feelings about how Renaeden must feel about that, I can only see what you are doing as a good thing, and you seem to be enjoying it.
I don't see that as attention seeking, I see that as finally being able to live your life in the truth of what you are and what you are feeling, and I really admire that.
