My (21M) gorgeous girlfriend (21F) is devastated that her college "fame" has faded. Am I wrong to feel hurt?
My girlfriend(21F) and I (21M)have been together for almost 3 years, long before college. We both ended up at the same engineering college. She is very pretty(she looks more of an european and also very pretty)Right at the start of our first year, she unexpectedly won "Miss Freshers." Literally overnight, her social status exploded.
It was absolute chaos. Her Instagram , Whatsapp was flooded with DMs from random seniors, guys were staring at her everywhere, and people started taking creepy, revealing photos of her from weird angles at the event. Because of the photos, some really nasty rumors about her character started floating around campus. At that time she said she isnt liking it that much , and was overwhelmed.
Fast forward to now: first year has ended. The hype has completely died down. But out of nowhere, she’s started crying and having emotional breakdowns about it.
She is saying , that was the best time of her life , she keeps complaining how guys dont stare at her anymore like in beginning.She is literally crying because she feels "forgotten." She keeps saying it’s a "Big W if the whole college knows you at once". At college too she would repeatedly have breakdowns , if she goes somewhere and not stared that much, when i go with her , she even says now everyone knows im her bf so nobody looks that much as they maybe scared of me. She even says things like - " Its always the spring that is short lived and winter that lasts long".
When I called her out on this desperate need for crowd approval, she just said: "I love being in the limelight, everyone does. That has nothing to do with my love for you." Its true she is loyal to me, i havent found any signs of disloyalty from her , But how am i going to deal with the fact that my attention my love isnt enough for her to keep happy?
I love this girl to death, she was my everything, She is my best friend, the compatibility we have in every choices is unreal. But this thing i just cant accept , therefore i want to ask, Is it normal for highly attractive girls who get a taste of the limelight to become this dangerously addicted to attention? Is she just deeply insecure, or am I actually the bad guy here?
