People who attention seek do so for reasons. Some reasons can be very serious and deadly. So eliminating any stigma pertaining to it is just a good idea. Everybody I meet, attention seeks from time to time. When they do, I ask myself "why" and "what does this person need". Then I ask them the questions "what do you need and what can I do to help"
Calling people attention seekers can have deadly consequences. What if a person is crying out for help and because they fear "asking for it and being labeled attention seeking" they don't get the help they need.
I believe that you don't seek attention and just need to express. I get that. But if you someday need attention, there are caring people who will provide it, if you ask. Best of luck.
