being a little blatant here

Yeah, I know, we all bitch about attention-whoring on LJ, but let's face it. To some extent, if you have an LJ, you are probably an attention whore. Unless you make all your entries private and disable commenting or something. In which case why would you bother putting it online in the first place?

But yeah. I've gotten the attention-whoring far more under control than I did in, say, my first year here or something. But I figure it's okay to ask for a little attention now and then. Especially since I've seen people I think of as strong and confident do the same thing, so yeah. Maybe it's okay to ask for what you need (or want) sometimes.

There's nothing at all wrong with wanting attention now and then. We're all trapped in our own skins, and if we aren't able to say, "Help," then how can our friends know we need it? So not only is it something to do without shame (provided it's not constant of course, all things in moderation,) it's almost a... responsibility on our part to let our friends know that their words/feelings/thoughts are needed and important.
