    Yes, this is attention seeking behavior lol. You are making posts about yourself, about what you’re up to each day, about opinions that you imagine people have of you.

    You have created this strawman argument that anyone questioning that you are who you are wants you to post nudes or something.

    You know what you’re doing, lol, no need to be evasive about it.

    This is the internet, we are all bots here. There is no such thing as identity.

      Calling it “attention-seeking behavior” ignores the fact that this is just my posting style. You can go all the way back in my post history where I explicitly say I have a stream-of-consciousness approach: something crosses my mind, I look through my Insta saves for a meme that fits, and I share it.

      Men never get asked to prove that they’re men or questioned like this.

        Your posting style seeks attention. It is currently entertaining.

        “Men don’t get asked for the same reason as someone saying they habe a cat or dog as a pet gets asked, odds are high that is the case because most pets are cats or dogs and most people vocal about themselves on the internet happen to be men.”

        -Albert Einstein

      I have a question. It’s about this part:

      questioning that you are who you are

      Why does this matter?

      You are somebody who believes that there is no such thing as identity on the Internet, so why even ask this question? What’s the point? What changes about life if this question goes unanswered?
