That's something I often worry about - whether I'm doing or saying something just to get attention. I know it's a bad thing, but isn't everything we do that involves other people attention seeking in some way?

Talking on here, we're trying to get other people to reply, to give us attention. When we start a conversation, or make a phone call, we're doing the same thing. Everybody does those sorts of things. So how can they be bad?
I'm guessing there's some acceptable attention-seeking behaviour and some that isn't tolerated...but where do you draw the line? I don't know, and it confuses me. I don't want to be attention-seeking, I don't want to assume that other people want me there, or to speak to me - they probably don't.
(Sorry, hope I'm making sense here.)
