Why do people not admit that they like attention. It's human nature why suppress it. I'm not saying we abuse it though. No need to be ashamed that's

-all I'm saying 👶

I am very open about wanting attention, but it’s pretty often associated with bad things.
So many people, as kids and adults, are told, even if not directly, that asking for attention is bad because the person they’re asking it from doesn’t want to give it. Like kids being told to leave adults alone, stop whining, stuff like that. And adults at work and in relationships being told they ask for too much and are too needy.
There are also the people who convince themselves they don’t want something (attention) because they feel like they can’t get it, or the people who are getting it have something they don’t.
@itsok That's a fair answer.

I love to be given attention 🥔😚 But I love it only from certain people.

It is a problem when you seek attention from about anyone, or when you are given unwarranted attention too, then it isn't nice.

@BittersweetPotato Because everyone has a different relationship with @PiecingBabyFaceTogether (or so I think)

He's awesome and amazing 😍 not many people like him...

If someone gets seriously upset at him, then there is a problem with that someone... you don't need more details... it's obviously something wrong with that someone.

Where with other people, say if someone gets upset with me... more details are needed, as it might be my fault, or it might not be....

But with him, it's clearly not his fault. 🤓

Plus, this is his post... also, I think Miram wanted me to stop it... so I can't connect you with her anymore.

Also, when I've posted two people, seems like often they dislike each other or maybe even have each other blocked, so I've tried to stop doing it... where as I know you two talk and enjoy talking with each other (I think)...

Sorry if it bugs you, I'll try to stop if it does, I'm just trying to be playful.

@Viper Well don't be playful with me.

@BittersweetPotato Alright 👍
Sorry

Exactly. It pisses me off when people call others attention wh*re. Everyone wants attention , in different kind of ways .

I thought it was a given.
@FloorGenAdm What do you mean?

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether You know how they'll allow violence on TV but won't show boobs?

I think it's a bore when it's constantly sought out.

Being recognized by those we care about, I agree, we all want that and to a lesser degree, possibly, most of us want to be thought of in a good light, generally.
Not everyone does, at least not indiscriminate attention. Attention from total strangers can be a mixed bag, especially when someone comes along and says something nasty. 🙁
@bijouxbroussard I'm just talking about attention from loved ones and friends. Seeking attention from strangers is different and can be easily abused it's all over TikTok.
@PiecingBabyFaceTogether From loved ones, absolutely. They should be one’s support.

Limited attention only. However, it's always a struggle to get exactly that one.

I want balance, so I do want attention, but I also don't want too much attention.

Must be from the right people though. Nothing worse than the wrong kind of attention.
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
I only want attention sometimes, not often.
Today I want attention though 😅
