| Hi, I am 24 years old girl. I have problem with my jealousy. Also I need that guy who is with me to be very emotional. I seek a lot of showing of emotions. Sometimes I overreact. I assume that it is because of my childhood problems. My parents were always very busy. They had time only for their careers and never for me. I never had enough attention from them. How to solve this problem? |

| I feel anger in every sentence of your story. You must talk with your parents. You must tell them how you feel, to let that anger and bad energy to go out. Nobody can make up parents attention. Don't burden your relationships with that. I am sure that you will find a guy who will be prepared to help you override this problem. Just give them a proper chance. |

| Its amazing how much our parents behaviors can shape us as adults. I had somewhat the same thing growing up. My parents were cold and detached from my life. No real affection ot love was ever shown in my house. My friends all thought it was kind of weird. And now that I am older, I can see that I have sought the same things as you (But with a girl - I'm male). I look for lots of emotion from my partner. I need to feel it. I need them to show their love and affection. Without it, I feel emotionally starved. I also feel like I overreact as well to even small things. Its almost like life has become one big soap opera for me, and I ended up in the leading role. The problem is that its very hard to find a good supporting actress! I think that for you and I, we seem to be trying to replace a big part of our lives that had been missing all these years. Its something that a 'normal' person gets from their family. Lots of things can be missing from a childhood, and they all affect a person differently. And, this is how it affects us. Just an opinion, take it for what its worth. Oh, BTW, I'm still not on great terms with my parents. They have always denied any wrongdoing on their part. But they are very thickheaded people. That may not be the what your situation is at all. If not, try to talk to them. Maybe that will help. If not, then maybe some professional counseling will help. But shop around to find someone you like, and that you can trust - and open up to them. That can be very helpful for some people. |
