I wanted her to notice me, to pay attention to me. It was an irrational desire, one I‘d never experienced before.

About This Quote

When we first meet someone we feel the need to be noticed, to be noticed by them. It’s important to us because we want them to see how amazing we are and approve of us. However, that kind of thinking can harm relationships. When you start to pay attention to your thoughts and desires it can cause you to become too focused on yourself. We all like it when people like us and notice us but we also like the way we like people and notice their actions and appearance.
