I think I'm addicted to attention
What makes you think that you're addicted to attention?
My father is an author and he has always taught me to go out there and prove what you can do.
It sounds like your father is awesome, but his accomplishments are his and what you do is independent of that. I understand the desire to want the focus he had. Your path is yours, but I'd suggest finding something to do that enriches you first and stop focusing on getting attention.
I'm always giving it my all. I have nothing to prove to the haters.
I love that you're so strong willed. You can accomplish so many things and proving people wrong is quite satisfying, no doubt. Direct that energy and get attention in a positive way.
