Attention seeking is when one seeks external validation in the form of praise or accolades.
There may not be anything wrong with that in itself, but it is also important to form genuine social connections with people.
It is emotionally fulfilling to build genuine connections with people rather than just sharing your news on social media, not all are on social media.
It requires a give and take of listening and sharing rather than performing.
While both attention seekers and connection seekers may behave similarly, a person who is craving genuine human connection will be able to build more authentic friendships and relationships because their goal is to create bonds rather than gain accolades and attention.
