Perhaps it is not that we are seeking attention but that we appear to be seeking attention due to our "odd" behaviors. I do not feel the desire to make myself stand out on WP, just like I don't feel the desire to make myself stand out anywhere else.
I simply stand out everywhere but here.
Anyone else experience this?
Makes sense to me.
How odd would one have to be to stand out here, I think is the point.
No disrespect meant. Just saying that if this is a group that attracts people who didn't fit in other groups,
then we tend to cancel out each other's weirdness sheerly due to our numbers & combined variety/diversity.
I'm not unusual for the sake of being unusual
(attention-seeking, any more than any person, NT or ASD, seeks to be validated & acknowledged),
I just am how I am & it gets called "unusual" by the majority.
