when i was 18, before i was diagnosed with hpd,
i was repressing my hpd symptoms, being alone etc
and i told to my counsellor
'there's something weird about me...
i hate food that are made in factory(things you buy at store) it gives me very lonely feeling,
i like to eat food at restaurant etc, or at least handmade and being sold.'
and counsellor said 'you want to keep in touch with people and try to feel love in that way!
i've got a quite many things like that,
and to think now i think it was related to hpd.
even eating food i'd choose to get attention, but even if there's not really much difference between attention amount i'd choose to eat 'handmade' bc that's more, human-related
so i think i accept attention=love subconciously

attention can be a manifestation of love, or other things:
lust
predation (i.e., a con artist trying to sell you some junk)
or, sales...providing good service to customers to run a business (although i dont want to sound cynical if you care for your customers your restaurant is probably more likely to be successful).
Love is being concerned about someone's welfare more so than your own, and inevitably involves self-sacrifice. Love is a natural resonance...effortless, when you are thus concerned about another.
So, yes, attention is sometimes -often times- evidence of love.

Be tolerant of others, but true to yourself. In supporting you, I try to offer common sense. PM me if you need to.

It may be your poor english, but attraction may be a component of love.
Attention does not equal love.
