Literally just be like āhey can i have some attention plsā, it pretty much always works in my experience. We all need and desire attention to some degree, thereās no shame in it. And openly asking for it is better than trying to implicitly get it by acting out, because then if you DONāT get it, itās really easy to attach it to your value instead of the fact that you didnāt -really- communicate your wants and needs.
