Question: “I have been fired from almost every job I have ever had.  I’m 22 years old and have been working since I was 16.  I see a pattern in my behavior, but don’t know how to change it.  As soon as I’m comfortable in a job, my emotional needs take over, and I involve everyone in my issues.  Although I’m not a complainer, I seem to need a lot of attention. I did have a rough childhood, but I’m a smart person. I know what I’m doing when I’m doing it.  I just can’t seem to stop.  Do you have any advice?”  —Desperate
