wanting positive attention > wanting attention in general i mean, its fine to want attention. its not fine to try and get it in ways that inconvenience or hurt others. and sometimes its nice to know that you're liked every now and then too, y'know?

honestly it's human nature to want attention. as long as you're not using other people and let other people talk, there isn't really an issue with that?

I don't really like attention most of the time, but I still want a little sometimes.
So I'm human. Huh, that really sucks.
I was betting that I was a cat.

Wanting attention in a sense that you need help or want s but of existence reassurance is fine.
Wanting attention to make yourself feel like a special priviliged snowflakes is another story

I get that it is okay to want attention, but it always feels so wrong to me. It could be because I have anxiety so attention normally stresses me out? I don't really do anything bad when I want attention or am trying to get it but in the end I always feel awful.
