I forgot who that is. Cursory glance of their lasts posts, drawing of Jinx, seems they've gotten better since then. Borderline Personality Disorder and wishes Trump would get assassinated. I don't remember them shitposting at all which is what makes a poster good tbh :///

Somewhat off topic but do you guys think seeking attention is an inherently bad thing? Seems like the deeper you think about it almost everyone wants attention in one way or another just in different forms so its not as perceptible in every individual. Like obviously being cutesy and having social media is a form of wanting attention and validation from your peers but so is a guy wanting to get really good at a sport or be recognised as a good fighter or something.
Like I wonder how you argue one is worse than the other? Is the deciding factor whether anything comes out of the behaviour? Being a social media addict wouldn't give anything to your character but might validate your feelings of adequacy. Being really into a physical and social activity may also give you tons of validation and attention from peers but also gives you something beneficial as a person. Is that the deciding factor?
I mean you have people like me who are broken in the head and have convinced themselves that any reliance on outside attention to feel better about oneself is weakness. But then again I kind of seek attention myself, if I didn't maybe I would be depressed because I wouldn't interact with anyone ever. Can you have interaction socially without there being some attention seeking?
However anyway, because I've convinced myself that positive attention and validation from peers is weakness I instead try to seek negative attention and for people to detest my existence. I wonder if that's really any better if you actually think about it. I mean its easy to rag on, tattoos+colored hair+"not like the other girls", for being attention seeking but I don't really even know if its that much different. Sure some people who rely too heavily on validation from peers will be depressed without it but maybe there is a healthy balance of sorts or something.

Sure some people who rely too heavily on validation from peers will be depressed without it but maybe there is a healthy balance of sorts or something.This got me thinking. I think people looking down on attentionseeking due to the fact that it's an external motivation. Otherwise you have internal motivation, which means you have internal drive, and strong values that are worthwhile to you and the will to act in accordance to them, and whether or not you agree with said values, most people respect others who have strong values and live by them. As for why something like sports for attention gets better reactions than social media bullshit for attention, i think you hit the nail on the head, it's that the way through which they seek attention - if it's something a lot of people consider worthwhile doing, then it's gonna be something they respect. So basically it has to do with what you do, as well as why you do it. If you do something worthwhile for yourself, that's gonna draw a lot of respect. If you do something vapid for yourself, most will be kinda lukewarm to it, but if they see you do it truly for yourself, they can respect that. If you do something worthwhile for approval, most people won't give a shit tbh. If you do something vapid for attention, you earn respect neither from what you do nor from why you do it. |
