Are Signs of Attention-Seeking Behavior a Cry for Help or Manipulation?

Attention-seeking behavior is often a symptom of underlying emotional needs or insecurities. It could stem from low self-esteem, a desire for affirmation, or simply the need to feel important in a world where attention feels scarce.

Oh, look! Another YouTube attention-seeker trying to reinvent the wheel... or in this case, shrink it 🤏🔋. Because we all needed a video showing someone fiddling with tiny motors instead of fixing real-world problems. Bravo, Internet, you never disappoint! 🙄

WIST Quotations Mar 18

A quotation from J. M. Barrie

   Certainly they did not pretend to be sleepy, they were sleepy; and that was a danger, for the moment they popped off, down they fell. The awful thing was that Peter thought this funny.
   “There he goes again!” he would cry gleefully, as Michael suddenly dropped like a stone.
   “Save him, save him!” cried Wendy, looking with horror at the cruel sea far below. Eventually Peter would dive through the air, and catch Michael just before he could strike the sea, and it was lovely the way he did it; but he always waited till the last moment, and you felt it was his cleverness that interested him and not the saving of human life. Also he was fond of variety, and the sport that engrossed him one moment would suddenly cease to engage him, so there was always the possibility that the next time you fell he would let you go.

J. M. Barrie (1860-1937) Scottish novelist and dramatist [James Matthew Barrie]
Peter and Wendy, ch. 4 “The Flight” (1911)

Is it just me or these days many "popular" accounts from Twitter & Instagram come here with the sole purpose of expanding their audience for attention-seeking needs?

I will miss #mastodon before this trend.

#AttentionSeeking #Trump escalates his personal attacks on #KamalaHarris in disgusting #lies & #slurs. #Republicans utterly beholden to him seem incapable of even countering his language let alone condemning it.

Trump on Saturday & again on Sunday falsely claimed in a display of obvious projection that Harris was “mentally impaired” & also that she should be “impeached & prosecuted."
