when it comes to relationships we all
want the kind of attention that makes us
feel seen heard and loved for who we are
kiss my third eye oh that third eye ones
in kiss open up that little third eye
chakra with a little kiss sometimes the
way that we ask for our partners
attention can be unhealthy this is
called drumroll kids protest behavior so
protest behavior originally referred to
the screams of the cries of children
when they were separated from their
caregiver but in modern times this term
also applies to adult attempts to
display unhappiness with a lack of
responsiveness or attention from their
romantic partners protest behavior looks
like excessive calling texting or
emailing keeping score no you had dinner
without me yesterday so I'm gonna have
dinner without you we weren't together
yesterday
exactly you've spent 67 days without me
and now I'm gonna spend 68 days without
you we don't live together exactly you
have an apartment without me so I'm
gonna have two apartments without you
okay this is getting ridiculous
and good old-fashioned manipulation
where are you going I'm going to see my
ex that's nice you know you talk about
Ryan a lot so what he's hot I can't help
it that my hot coworker is hot hey I got
off work early do you want to grab
dinner
I can't I'm so busy protest behavior is
typically exemplified by the anxious
preoccupied attachment style underneath
the bratty call for attention facade
it's ultimately an unmet emotional need
that you're not communicating in a
vulnerable way so it's basically a
really immature and unhealthy
manifestation of someone trying to
re-establish their security and
connection with a partner and I've done
it a bunch I'm not proud of it but I've
done it and if you've done it you know
it and I know it and your partner
probably knows it and you should
probably work out a more healthy
vulnerable open form of asking for your
needs to be met like look I love you but
lately I feel like you're more focused
on world domination than you are on our
relationship I support your career a
hundred percent but lately I've been
feeling neglected and I just want to
feel connected to you again thank you so
much for telling me babe honestly ever
since you kissed my third eye and
awakened to the one true power within me
I felt like you were pulling away and
I've just been trying to break the
barrier between the spirit and the
material world is a cry for attention
from you
