I am addicted to compliments

Heres abit of info about myself. I am at college and from a quite strict christian family. I have secretly dated once but he was more of a friend then a partner then we both moved on. I have friends, i have a good life but in my own time i have this weird addiction that even i am ashamed of but can't stop. It all happened by accident, i was just messing around with my friend talking to guys online and one commented how beautiful we both were and we just laughed it off and joked about how pervy he was. After that incident i went back to talking to strangers and felt good when they would compliment me. I wouldn't ever do anything inappropiate but i like geting comments saying i am beautiful. Listening to myself i would say that person must have low self esteem. But i don't i am happy about my looks and etc. But gosh its so good to be complimented. I am so addicted to it. Gosh i must sound insane or lonely. But inside i know if i was to date i wouldn't be satisfied with just one person complimenting me. I love being loved by all. I sound like a right cow. I have never been like a b**** like this before, i have never cared about being loved by all. I need help. What should i do?... i feel i am slowly becoming a b**** in the making. (I wonder if the b**** is okay to use on this site)

Hi What you experiencing is hyper reality..... it is not real it is the internet, immediate gratification. It is natural to feel great about compliments, and I will tell you that you need to stop this online thing or you WILL develop low self esteem. The poor gut in the real world cannot measure up to the fake world online, then you will take it as a reflection of you and him and that is sad. This online you are mixed up in will destroy you and anything good in you if you don't get away, you are been lured by a machine. Also don't you not think it is shallow and all about the ego......
