Pisces Paradox

I feel like I always need attention, not in terms of being the center of attention (I loathe that), but I always need the people I care about to give me love and their 100% all the time. But I never show it, I act aloof and independent and private. I'm a secret attention seeker. Andit's painful. Normal Pisces?"

Well, I do think— and I have read in multiple sources— that Pisces need the affirmation that they are loved. Perhaps Pisces are attention seekers? Though, I do not think it is in the way people typically mean it. As you said, you want to make sure the people you love, are loving you. That your feelings are reciprocated. Whereas, I think most people use the term “attention seeker” to refer to individuals who do impulsive things, or say provoking things to get the attention of others. So perhaps “secret attention seeker” was very appropriate of you to say.

I mean, I personally don't sympathize with this. Whereas I do feel as though I put my all into my friendships (as I’ve never been in a relationship), I don’t look/crave that constant affirmation I’ve read that Pisces notoriously need. I’m willing to think it’s normal, in the sense that a good amount of Pisces feel this way. Likewise, I think it’s very appropriate to want your loved ones to reciprocate your feelings.
