Attention, stupid question?

I kind of want people to worry about me (sounds completely stupid), even if it's just a nurse…

I don't know, I somehow feel like nobody cares about me…

What's wrong with me? This is completely insane, isn't it? What can I do about it?

Talk to a specialist (psychotherapist). You write in a comment that you are depressed. Thus, in the phases, for example, partial-narcissistic characteristics occur in the persons. Or let's call it vulnerable. But finally it doesn't matter and it's uninteresting, you're depressed. You're not yourself. It doesn't mean anything. Egoism and egocentric are also normal. Don't be too much about it and talk to someone who really knows about it professionally.

I don't want to pathologize you, but that sounds like aspects of Munchausen's syndrome. However, you would also have to go so far that you partially poison yourself or otherwise make you sick so that you actually get that attention. But it could develop in such a way.

Otherwise, if you like to have attention and play, then this could indicate a histrionic personality disorder.

But talk to someone professional about it, the person can then also explain whether this is already ill, or just eccentric.

Yes, maybe just make a general personality disorder diagnosis – who knows if you have depression, this could in turn fit with what you describe to borderline.

Since the ICD 11, there are no more explicit types of personality disorders (ie no narcissism, no more schizoid disorder, etc.), but only generally a personality disorder according to severity and then certain dimensions are still assigned. The histrionic PS has also started (I still use a lot of ICD10 vocabulary).

Attention stupid question?

This is a good question, there's almost nothing else.

I have the wish that people are worried about me (sounds completely stupid)

Right. Maybe because it is?

And if it's just a nurse…

I don't know.

What's wrong with me? That's completely sick, isn't it? What can I do about it?

Find a nurse as a friend. Or do a therapy.
