Bringing attention to how much attention one gets just shows how much one needs, craves, and lacks it... and indicates something like egotistical vanity stemming from deep-rooted insecurity.

Random/unsolicited attention or attention for attention's sake only is worthless to me. If you ever find me going after your attention, it's 'cuz I've got something to give you in return... 'cuz I'm just such a giver like that, and I like you, and I feel you deserve a little somethin-somethin. And I'm not gonna stand on a little soapbox...
