I tell my friends and family varying degrees of truth-when I talk to them. I just can't trust their reactions to some things and am never satisfied with their advice or responses to other things.
Then for some reason I find people I don't know on the internet and spill my guts. I find their words and advice more comforting. However, they don't know me or care about me, so I'm sure they don't really want to hear all my problems or what I did today, and so on.
So how do I just shut it? I think I'm very attention seeking, and I know this is undesirable. I've been this way for a long time. I remember being little and standing on the couch yelling for my parents to pay attention. People always complain I'm quiet, but I say it's because I shouldn't have to yell to be heard. I think I stopped really communicating with my family and friends on a large part because I feel like they don't listen or care. It's to the point where I get bored half way through what I'm saying, because even I don't want to hear me. I don't even expect responses from people (nor to this). I just want to stop being so annoying, but it's hard when I'm incredibly impulsive-especially when I'm tired (like now).
How do I fix this?
