>>14420749>They should seek attention for merit, not because they ask.^This basically. Instead of attention happening organically the attention seeker tries to bypass the normal way people spontaneously pay attention to noteworthy achievements.
It's like someone begging for handouts on the street instead of getting paid because they're performing labor others actually want to pay money for.
Also when someone is accused of attention seeking it's usually because they weren't subtle about it, and being transparent about your dishonesty implies you're not intelligent or experienced enough to realize what's obvious and easy for everyone else to see.
