Anything for Attention

Anything for Attention

This era of social neediness makes social media 95% trash. Everyone is a star but screaming, begging, and willing to do anything for attention. This is not about the business people attempting to sell a service or product. This is about the people who are not selling anything. Not offering anything. Not doing anything that people can benefit from. They have zero value add but they are persistent and always seem to get somewhere on your feed regardless of the efforts you make to prevent it. They are the ones who post spoilers as if anyone cares they watched something early or first. We don’t so stop. They post that they are models but all you see is butt on their profiles like someone is going to pick theirs over the other million on the same site. We won’t so stop. Can you at least start modeling something? They are the people who say they’re tired of their haters and they are not the “one”. They are the people who are in love one week and posting hateful memes about the opposite sex the next. They are the people that make social media trash. Stop. Please.

The need for attention is dangerous. It can be addicting and lead to heavy depression if it suddenly stops. Choose any one or two hit wonder in music. We’ve seen many artists take to social media to show their disgust towards their fans for not supporting them. What they didn’t consider was what they did to get those fans. If you are putting all of your efforts into getting the attention of people and you get it, understand you set a precedent. All of that effort is now the bare minimum to keep the crowd you attracted. Let’s just say if you start naked, there is no more to give. You can give your all without giving all of you. Let’s say you get the attention you are seeking. What does that person get? You wanted it so bad so I’m sure you overpaid for it. Pay attention to what you give for attention. You’ll surprise yourself and not in a good way.

The attention will leave. Now what? You’ve chased this attention. You got and lost the attention. You gave all you had for temporary attention you didn’t know you couldn’t keep. You got attention from a person or people who gave you the same attention they give to hundreds maybe thousands of others and you thought it was special. It was a “like”. A comment. A tag or shoutout. You treated it like it was a proposal. That was your fault but you can learn from it. When you are seeking attention ask yourself what you exactly you are seeking it for. If it’s not to sell or bring attention to something you are producing social media is not the place for it. If the attention you seek is to feel better about yourself, you need to look within. If you feel good about yourself without attention from anyone you are now equipped to deal with it being there or not.

In closing, I see too many people longing for attention online. They spend more time online then they spend with themselves. They could be online to escape being with themselves. That is a deep issue. It’s something you don’t like about yourself and getting attention from someone who doesn’t know that something allows you to temporarily feel good about yourself. You still haven’t addressed the issue and that attention will soon fade and immediately remind you of the issue you refuse to deal with. Look in the mirror. Spend time with yourself. Give yourself the attention you seek from others. No one can give you the level of attention you can give yourself.

Food for thought…You do the dishes.
