Is there any positive thing from being an attention seeker????:mmhmm:

If it's really, really obvious how much you want attention and you do all sorts of crazy things to get it, you just might make the people around you laugh. They might be laughing AT you, but still, you're putting a smile on people's faces, so that must be good!

I guess when you seek attention , you get to become the centre of attention and feel somewhat better about yourself...it temporarily erases feelings of insecurity and inadequacy.

but like i said, it's temporary afterthat you feel like a dork all over again!

p.s: attention seekers have low self confidence, no self esteem...and they feel worthless

p.s: there is a huge difference betwen an "attention grabber"..someone who grabs attention...someone who stands out from the crowd. an attention grabber doesnt have to try to get attention!

yes there is..you get to be called Pathetic ?? :think:

yeh they get laughed at :p

So they are considered Pathetic haa??

So they are considered Pathetic haa??

Superb
of course we all have this behaviour but some person are 'more' attention seeker than others :)

no one said that..plus most of the attention seekers pisses me off with (i'm the center of attention and everybody loves me) attitude :angry:

but kids can be attention seekers and you can't call kids Pathetic.. :rolleyes:

I don't mind attention seeking but not when it's in an obvious and desperate way. It's good to want to be 'noticed' but it can be done in good and positive ways such as being good at something (sport , art..etc). The only positive things that come to mind is the recognition that might come from it.

Yah there is! The more attention you seek the more popular you get :D

I'm most certain that as we grow older our attention seeking habits will increase mostly for the company of people (rather than when you're young, your attention seeking habits are mostly to be accepted by others). I noticed that from my grandmother as well as other older relatives.. I'm pretty much guessing we will all go through this sadly. I never really tried to get attention from others as I sort of have more than enough pride that just makes me proud of myself.

Yes, it is something bad especially when got cought doing it. It is more like a thief won't be noticed till cought. And what I know is that it is something by nature, which no one have anything to do with it. Sure in some cases people graw this habit because of retirement, or sudden drop in life, the keep seeking attention in some way to balance their failure.

** Warning ** - Attention seeking can have very adverse effects.

They're also known as Drama queens, feigners.

All of us need social interation, feedback, appreciation in our lives. An emotionally mature person doesn't need to go hunting for these; they gain it naturally from their daily life. (at work, at play, social gathering etc)

The emotionally immature person, however, has low levels of self-esteem and self-confidence feels insecure. To help counter these feelings of insecurity they will spend a large proportion of their lives creating situations in which they become the centre of attention. And it's not restricted to their just their lifestyles, it also spills out on a forum too. I've see a few attention seekers on the forum eventuallly being rejected by all other members (even ones who were close to them)

Sub7an allah,

As human, we like attention by nature and at same time we blame others for seeking attention…!

I agree with Brain, we all seek attention in a way or another without even feeling it!

I guess some people need to feel noticed to feel good about themselves; if you're an attention seeker every once in a while, then there is a lot of good in that. However, if you can be labeled one, then err...no.

I think its only bad when you do "bad" stuff and hurt others just to gain attention ..

Besides looking like a fool...
Nope.

i dont think there is, i HATE attention seekers, its like the world spins around them, Some people are just like that they 'thrive' on attention because they are insercure within themselves its sad but true! people used to call me an attention seeker when i was younger but the thing with me was i made people laugh and just get attention NATURALLY! not make a fool out of myself to get peoples attention
