Literally just be like āhey can i have some attention plsā, it pretty much always works in my experience. We all need and desire attention to some degree, thereās no shame in it. And openly asking for it is better than trying to implicitly get it by acting out, because then if you DONāT get it, itās really easy to attach it to your value instead of the fact that you didnāt -really- communicate your wants and needs.

i have gotten a new fridge and a new stove from two different landlords this way - completely free of charge!! asking as an action opens the door for new connections and perspectives and is a much better alternative to feeling like you have to somehow assert your will on others to make your way through the world safely or successfully. it also is true that people love to share and talk about themselves, so asking is a great way to start out an interaction.
this sentiment is predicated upon the belief that people are good and want to help ! and that we can accomplish more together.
just thinking about this bc i called this antique shop and asked about an item i unfortunately left behind </3 but the person on the phone was more than happy to help, and my day is improved because 1) i tried and 2) i had a positive conversation with another person.

This is a type of walk I do almost every day. Walk in one direction until you hit a stoplight. Then immediately turn and walk in the new direction until you hit a stoplight and repeat until you get back home.
