Is this true?

The "hey baby" and "send me some bobs" from random people I don't know isn't even close to the attention I crave though

Nah, it’s because this person is being terrible and perhaps some social shame will help, since apparently another human being being unreceptive is insufficient as a data point.

While true, this can apply to OP as well. Using social media is inherently seeking for attention, regardless of why you use it.

I mean, I guess sometimes people would do that just to get attention. That's kinda what social media is for after all. But sometimes these messages turn so sour it's hilarious and worth sharing. Y'know, like these "nice guys" who act sweet until you reject them, then they call you a whore, bitch etc. I think those are not only hilarious but also deserve to be called out publicly for their nasty behavior. They're rare of course, but they exist. I myself have only met one in my life.
