Do you hate attention?
Have you ever vowed not to make a fuss, or uttered the words โIโm fine, reallyโ when you werenโt? You could be one of a rising number of attention deflectors, and it may be preventing you from getting help when you need it
- When someone asks, โHow are you?โ is your standard response, โIโm fineโ, even if youโre not?
- Do you put off going to the doctor, thinking, โIโll be fine in a couple of daysโ?
- Do you tend to be the person everyone else goes to with their issues?
- Would you say you generally like to be in control, or to be the โrescuerโ who looks after other people?
- Do you struggle to ask for help?
