  1. CW: On attention seeking, validation, and mental health

    we get feelings that no one cares about us, and we don't know if they're true or not

    We feel like we need more

    Wonder if the term codependance applies to us

    nah it doesn't

    we definitely feel like we'd like more attention, recognition, and validatiom

    Attention seeking - Wikipedia -
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attention_seeking

    Well there seems to be nothing wrong with the term "attention seeking"

    As it could often stem from a need of validation and security. Given that we have neither of the former, it is only natural for us to seek attention.

    Appie wonders if someone could gain passive validation. Is it true that some feel validated just by existing?

    We have very weird behaviors when it comes to attention seeking

    For one we never ask anyone explictly to give us attention, and rely on others to pick up on cues and read between the lines.

    If someone does pick up the cues and gives us attention, we don't interact with them. As in "it's too late, why couldn't you notice earlier?" but in reality, we'd much rather interact, but something strong is stopping us

    What a weird mental cycle

    seek attention <-> reject it

  10. A quotation from La Rochefoucauld

    It is generally pride rather than lack of intelligence which prompts men to dispute so obstinately generally accepted opinions; they find all the front seats taken on the popular side, and do not wish to sit behind.
     
    [C’est plus souvent par orgueil que par défaut de lumières qu’on s’oppose avec tant d’opiniâtreté aux opinions les plus suivies: on trouve les premières places prises dans le bon parti, et on ne veut point des dernières.]

    François VI, duc de La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680) French epigrammatist, memoirist, noble
    Réflexions ou sentences et maximes morales [Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims], ¶234 (1665-1678) [tr. Stevens (1939)]

  15. Ah, the classic "this might be my last post... or not" saga. 🎭 The author contemplates their own #mortality with all the subtlety of a teenager posting #vaguebook status updates for attention. 🙄 But hey, at least they're consistent in their inconsistency! 😅

  19. 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! 🙄

  23. 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)

  31. There's been a recent influx in posts with a ridiculous amount of hashtags and it's very annoying.

    They #make the #posts look #messy and #hard to #read while #simultaneously giving off #vibes that seem #desperate and #AttentionSeeking.

    I know I can mute specific hashtags, but can I mute the hashtag symbol altogether to ensure I never have to see another hashtag ever again?
