Guys, I have a praise kink and I don't know what to do about it, help?

[Anonymous]

So I have a praise kink but I don't have anyone to help me satisfy it and it's not just sexual either, it's with everything. I need constant praise and attention, if I post something on social media then other people have to like it or comment or I'll feel like I shouldn't have posted it or I did a bad job, if I colored a picture then I'll show my friends and hope that they tell me I did good and if they don't then I get sad, literally everytime I do anything I need someone to tell me that I did a good job or that I'm a good girl. Since I don't have anyone to help me with it, I try flirting and stuff but it isn't enough. What should I do?

Were you neglected as a child from your parents showing appreciation for whatever you did? Or was it the exact opposite, as in, you always got an over abundance of praise as as child, "YAY you can breath air, you have to be the most intelligent little girl...", and now you are so used to that, that you need it still?

At any rate, it's not healthy since it seems like you can't understand your own worth or value without someone giving you a value. But if it's just a fetish, meh. But also, how do you know that they are truly genuine with their praises, since it's just to make you happy perhaps? You got to watch yourself with all this need for praise, because it can be actually a negative affect on you over time. But anyway, start seeing the value in yourself and not what others think. Post things that you value and start saying to yourself, "fuck what anyone else thinks.". If they keep following you even after you don't give a shit about what others think, then those are the ones that truly care about what you think. That's much more fulfilling and uplifting than fake ass likes. Also, I find the ones that are more blunt and don't sugar coat their comments to you are more truthful and you then take that as caring constructive criticism. I think you need someone that is able to say to your face and mean it what you have to improve and truthfully and maybe harshly, but that still cares for you and you feel it.

[Asker]

[Opinion Owner]

come on, there is nothing wrong with feeling shy, if you want to talk better HMU, because after i posted tha answer... i'm not satisfied with it, i should have done better but i would like to know more, to put more thought on it but i don't want to not be able to find this question later. of course, only if you would like that

[Asker]

That sound nice really... sorry I can't come up with a better reply I just feel so so shy..

[Opinion Owner]

well, that's perfectly understandable, after all you posted this in anon. in any case you seem like a really nice girl, maybe your shyness is part of why you like to be praised so much?

I hope she has a dick you creepy creepy little man. 😂

[Opinion Owner]

@Ranger2019 hahahaha yeah i guess i'm being a creep, but speaking seriously, the problem she has is really curious for me, lol

[AustinMan]

This is not a kink. It's a basic insecurity.

[FromAshes]

You'll need to spend time thinking about what you want to personally accomplish in this life, and make sure it's something you find instrinsically fulfilling. Meaning, nobody's opinion matters except your own.

Low self-esteem seems to be the issue here. It's probably rooted by a rather disfunctional upbringing.

[Necdump]

Consider raising your self value, as it seems to be low and in need of constant reassurance

[Asker]

I think I've just always need constant reassurance, I think it's because I like to please others.

[WindowLicker]

You sound incredibly high maintenance and you need to address this constant need for validation before you make your life miserable and push everyone away or get endlessly abused.

[Celtero]

You suck and I hate you even though I've never met you before.

[Asker]

Oh... okay.

[Celtero]

Why'd you reply to me? Now I have to and I didn't want to ever return to this thread.

[Asker]

I'm sorry...

[Celtero]

Now you did it again. Ouch! I sprained my pinky finger typing that out, and it's all your fault!

[Asker]

I'm sorry! I can't help it!

Sounds like you may need to talk to a psychologist. Seeking praise so doggedly is not healthy. There's nothing wrong with seeking help for psychological issues. Millions people around the world do each year. If you need any pointers or suggestions in finding one you can Pm me or respond to this post.

Wishing you well,

Good post, hope you get what you want.

[Volb3at]

Honestly, there’s nothing wrong with wanting to be praised; who doesn’t want some positivity in such a negative world?

Ps: good post, well done🙃

Narcicism at max. Go see a mental health specialist.

Be happy with your work and not how someone else feels about it.
