Consider how much attention you were getting before you decided to do anything about this verses how much attention you are getting now.
I think you are enjoying the attention more than anything.
I won't lie; that certainly is a possibility.
But it does contrast against the fact I used to hate attention...Or most types of attention. For example, when playing hockey when I scored a goal (an albeit infrequent occurrence) I used to be very embarrassed by all the cheering and "good on ya's" I'd get from the crowd or team mates.
Things have changed in me. I'm more open and more social-able. There's a dress-up party I'm going to later this month that I'm absolutely psyched for. This is the kind of party I would've said no thanks to only a a year or two ago.
I can only think either I'm going insane and making shit up, or the hormones are making emotional changes that resonate within me. Or that I'm just enjoying the fact most of my friends now call me Kayleigh and generally treat me as a girl.
So yes, a definite possibility, but it's different sorts of attention.
