The Situation

"She posts thirst traps but says she's not looking for attention"

The Brutal Truth

She craves attention but denies it. By posting provocative photos while claiming indifference, she’s struggling with self-awareness and validation, showing a lack of authenticity in her intentions. This behavior indicates confusion and possible emotional issues that should be addressed before seeking a relationship.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might obsess over her posts, overanalyze her motivations, and seek constant reassurance from her. This is unhealthy because it prioritizes external validation over self-worth and fosters dependency.

💭 Something to Reflect On
