Why is my ex girlfriend still searching for attention?

Either because she only got attention from you and nobody else and now that you're broken up she doesn't really know what to do with herself so she comes back to you time and time again because you're the only one giving her something that she can't get anywhere else. That or she's probably still in love with you and doesn't know what to do about it. Perhaps she just wants to be friends because she feels safe with you and feels like you have a deeper understanding of each other, so she turns to you because you're her safe place.

To a degree this will depend on how things ended. People naturally don't want to give up on the emotional work they've put into a relationship - there's also a fear of being alone that kicks in when a relationship ends.

It is very common for ex girlfriend to continue hoping that you will change you mind after a break up. Therefore, she might reach out to you in hopes that you change your mind and are reminded of the bond that you used to have. Please be very clear to her that the relationship is over. It doesn't mean that you don't appreciate her or like being in contact with her, of course. But if you want to help her move on, you should really insist on the fact that your decision is final and there will be no going back. This will avoid misunderstandings. I think that you cannot be friends with your ex until you feel truly happy when they meet someone else. It is rarely the case right after a break up for both people to want the other person to find love again.

Its either of the two reasons first one she regrets that you left her and she still wants to be with you and the other she just wants you to look at her like she wants you to hold you in her sight so that you can never forget about her She is wanting you to know that she always has her eyes on you and she wants you to ber in her mind always either way her mind or heart just doesn't want to forget about you so easily that's why her heart and mind keeps making her to ask for attention from you so that she can never forget about you.
