Answer 1

It's part of the human condition.  We are also dependant on each other.  Not as much now as before technology got so advanced, we needed people to stick together to survive.

Try to accept that people like you and want to recognize their connection to you.  It is a good thing.

Answer 2

Hi Aleah,

You are confusing yourself with ''acknowledgment''' and ''recognition''.

From your description, unless you are someone famous or you have done something absolutely fantastic in your life, (some one recognized in the community, like a pop star, a social worker, a minister etc.)  it is called as acknowledgment, but your case does not look like '''acknowledgement''.......

Where as, recognition comes from people who knew you when you were a kid, people who knows your family, your class mates, perhaps your previous classmates...that is called ''recognition''.

You have a problem of mixing socially with people. You are shy and laid back, but perhaps something is stopping you from being social. Perhaps some past events, something that makes you cover yourself under a blanket, something that haunts you, or something you hate about facing people.  You must deal with this, with someone professionally, as you cannot avoid this all of your life. If you do, you may be sort of hated by people who once loved you. I am so sorry to tell you that. I care, because I so much relate to you. I avoid people only because I am an alcoholic and it sort of gets ...scary to meet people whom I do not want to see. So get help.

Again, you have to be acknowledged as you are a great person. But you not ''''wanting'' to be recognized, needs help, love. I mean it.

Take care...I am sure you will get through this...

good luck
