Someone does or says something you don't like so you walk away, figuratively or literally, from them in a way that evokes feelings of guilt, shame, etc., to get them to admit fault, apologize, or feel bad in some way.
A: "Aww i feel bad, we made her leave when we spoke our minds."
B: "Don't feel bad, that was definitely an attention walk."

When you want attention sooo bad you start throwing a hissy (usually seen amongst children but some rare adults are known to throw attention when they don't get their way)
Man, my kid was up in arms yesterday throwing attention like it was everybody's business; I had to get up and get him to settle down.
Man, this dude at work was throwing attention cause I wouldn't accept an expired gift card like dafuq?!
