Everything I do, online or off, is for attention. I want to be seen. I want to be heard. I want to feel accepted. I believe that’s the whole point of interacting with other people. If I didn’t need attention from others, I wouldn’t talk to anyone ever. Haha! (1) https://twitter.com/_BestMermaid_/status/1351264117613592583

For me it’s only problematic when folks start doing things that are harmful or out of character just for attention. I think it’s entirely possible to seek attention *and* be authentic to who you are, though! (2)
