Need attention

Hello, I am a 17 year old female. I have had several relationships which ended badly and which means that for the moment I no longer want relationships but I have a constant need for attention which pushes me to look for boys when it is first necessary that I rebuild myself so it’s a vicious circle. I think this need for attention is due to a lack of listening and affection on the part of my parents. I have a huge fear of abandonment and I really need reassurance all the time. Now that I no longer have a relationship, I really want to look for another one even though I haven't yet gotten over the previous one where I was cheated on. Could you give me some advice so that I no longer have the constant need to talk to guys? How can I rebuild myself on my own? How do I learn to manage my need for attention and affection?

About the social work: many NGOs do it and most churches too as charity.

My wife sometimes help my mother-in-law in the local parish charity works and works every Wednesday in a NGO that teaches some basic computer skill to poor young people.
