Attention is a vital need. Almost as powerful as our need for food. If you're starving, you eat garbage too - like that.

  Sometimes I try to give them some kind attention - you can handle it in different ways.

With me... if anyone's able to get my attention at all it means you've done pretty good....whether you want to be stepped on or just to get my attention. Most things and people are completely irrelevant to me and almost nonexistent.
