[quote=Anonymous]I think it's all different reasons. In my family we have 2 who do this. One is not some highly social extrovert, but is attention seeking and always the victim. When those around her get sick of giving her praise and pity she needs new sources of this supply. You could have a spouse dying of cancer and she will still try to get you to feel sorry for her because she now has carpal tunnel. Another in my family has rigid ideas about family and how we must be close. In my husband's family there is so much cutoff and dysfunction I think 2 well meaning members are desperate to create warmth, but they will do really manipulative and borderline abusive things to force connection and closeness.[/quote]
