let me leech on you,

There are many people amongst us who seek company just to make ourselves feel better. We seek the attention and the thrill of being the topic of discussion or the life of the crowd when we are with others or even when we aren't, be it for good or bad. Initially this feels really good. I mean, we humans aren't exactly creatures of solitude. No, in fact, we thrive on the show of emotions and we are all filled with the need to emote to others or objects and the desire to obtain acknowledgement from the factors we express ourselves to. Thus, when those whom we communicate with for the pleasure of our own respond, we attain this irrevocable joy that we would begin to crave after a while.

This isn't entirely bad but neither is it good. Well actually, it differs in various occasions. If the people are always there for us, you wouldn't really be able to notice the difference. But sooner or later you'd find yourself alone and no one would be there. Oh yes you could and would find a temporary replacement but after that you'd feel so useless , dependent and desperate.

This is the point where you get hooked on attention and this makes you weak because only then you'd realize that you have had no pillar of support all this time for your own opinions because all this while you have been seeking recognition from others, thinking you are the one in control when you are actually not. When you have no one there to satisfy your attention-crave, you'd feel sucked in and dejected, not so much at first but it will get worst. It's almost like a drug.

One that you find uber hard to restrain from.
