    “Doing things for attention” means attention for yourself. This is for the benefit of something that is not herself. Understand the difference when you say she’s doing it for attention, she is not. “She’s doing it for attention” and “She’s bringing attention to a good cause” are very different sentences.

      That’s an implication not a definition or meaning and that’s not the only meaning anyway.

      How’s she bringing attention? By bringing herself, getting attention for yourself doesn’t necessarily make it a selfish act.

      Be clear, I didn’t say that at all bud the other commentor did.
