If you stop and think about it... is there?

Well, if you kill someone and get put on trial for media exposure, then you're looking for attention, but not really looking to make friends.

Think of it as squares and rectangles. Squares are all rectangles but rectangles are not always squares.

Likewise, looking for attention is not ways via friendship, but looking for friendship is always looking for attention.

This isn't to say that it is a negative thing. Attention is a natural human drive and there is not much wrong with it. Regardless, it is what it is.

Logical reasoning in a nutshell.

Using your analogy, that would be to say: "there is a difference between being a square and a rectangle" or conversely "there is a difference between being a rectangle and a square." The wording provides no established order of priority, and thus both are true, as they both simply imply that the two words are not entirely synonymous.

English language leaves a lot of room for interpretation.
I suppose you could also then argue that the difference isn't "big" like huntress said, but I digress.

Ah, my dear friend. Nothing excites me more than having a meaningful discussion.

Regardless of the differences, which I concead do exist - never denied otherwise - the point made is that one is a section of the other, while the other is not necessarily a section of the initial.

Language is flawed in that it focuses on one perspective/reality, it does serve as a medium for our understanding. Therefore, our perception of what is friendship and what is attention falls within the barriers set by the language itself.

What's going on, hunty?

I understand your position, but it does not alter the fact that the two are not synonyms, which is a way that the statement could be perceived and was likely intended to be perceived. As such, there is no inherent logical flaw with the initial declaration.

You are right in that there is indeed a difference but, from the purpose of the status, it can be derived that this individual wished to obtain friendship and was met with the criticism of attention-seeking. What I am saying is that attention-seeking is a large component of friendship. So, in that regard, there is not much of a difference.

Its a slight shift in perspective, I suppose!

But going full-circle,

Uh, kay...

Sorry about this whole debate, I should have clarified >_<

I am referring to a certain girl on FSD I have met elsewhere and cannot stand, for there is a difference between getting people to want you (attention) and looking for more people to converse with for fun. By fun, I mean not being desperate to get some random D or for selfish attention purposes.
