Hey I’m biased but I think actually just asking for attention is valid, that’s my hot take

@pan it can be extremely vital and it’s weird that people talk about it like you’re bad for needing it. Like why is “you’re just doing it for attention” a dismissive sentence instead of one of pity or sympathy

@FragileVal nodnod

i guess some people are even like that about like... money ? like crowdfunding

anyway yeah i think when ppl haven't experienced what it's like to desperately Need attention, they have this dismissive attitude a lot bc it's only ever kind of an extra bonus for them (and bc ableism)
