Attention seeker is someone seeking or in other words, looking for trouble or anything just to gain the attention from others. They would do anything for attention even if it will make them look bad

I mean... I said you would say that, didn't I? Still 7 years ahead of everyone.
Hym "It's easy to trivialize by calling me an 'attention seeker' but, really, think about it: How many people are actually doing anything even remotely close to this? Are they getting attention for it? Is this some 'optimal attention receiving strategy' I'm unaware of? And, relative to who? Who are you comparing me to? How am I any worse than your average wannabe Instagram model or actress in that regard? The difference is, you wouldn't even be asking. You would just throw your money at me, no questions asked. And, in the context of my situation, I couldn't get you to stop giving me attention if I tried. Wouldn't it be a strange thing for me to lie about? Is anything I've said untrue, or what? Are you the arbiter of who deserves attention now too? Are you trying to arbitrarily deny me attention? And as far as 'getting a big head" is concerned, do the phrases 'So, easy it isn't even fair for me to compete' or 'You're lucky I even allow you to have a country?' ring any bells? My head was already as big as it gets. You all just mistakenly affirmed all of the things I confidently asserted. It was an 'unintentional ego boost' to you. But where is this 'attention is to be denied to anyone who would seek it' thing coming from? And why isn't it being applied to YouTuber and Instagram/Onlyfans models?"
