Were/are you an attention seeker?

[WrestlinFan]

Are you one of those guys who always has to have eyes on him? I was in elementary school.

 

[stevesxs9]

I was always one that would be in the background observing things, while others would battle for attention. And I'm still the same way today mostly a private person.

 

[kaitheteen]

When I was very young, yes. I was always the class clown and enjoyed people's attention.

I love attention but that doesn't make me an attention whore.In fact i make sure i command attention,sometimes with something important to share,funny antics,humor.I do it all and my frds explicitly tell me that they love what i do to catch attention.
It sure is an awesome way to make contacts.

Not really. In public I never wanted to be the center of attention. However, I have craved from people around me. In a way everyone is an attention seeker. Attention is needed for human survival. It make them fell important. Neglect is something that can lead to depression or some other disorder.

I was shy as a youngster. Never wanted to be in the spotlight. Now I have no problem dealing with people but I don't like attention. Never have.

A silent and reserved guy..? Hard to believe actually,with the way your posts are laid out and the way you interact on the forum,it really doesn't justify what you just stated...Have never had attention or have you always shied away from it..?

No I’m not an attention seeker; I have never been because I am an introvert by nature. I like remaining in the background and feel very nervous if I am ever in the spotlight. Talking in public is a big deal for me because then it makes me noticed which is one of the things I avoid. I am so content on my own that it annoys some people.

 

[helaofthenorns]

No. As much as possible, I avoid attention. I love blending in the background. I don't like it when the spotlight is on me because I tend to feel sick. One time, I had to speak in front of our class. I puked, and it's safe to say that it's the worst memory I have of high school.

I am the complete opposite actually. I hate when people look at me, kind of irritates me. Like what are they looking at? They don't have enough honor to look upon this greatness. Last time I had someone staring at me I told them to look at the ground. The random stranger I said it to actually looked at the ground, what a nerd.

 

[askanison]

No I was the one sitting in the back nose buried in a book or writing. I tended to blend in, but have just enough friends that I didn't feel totally invisible throughout school. I didn't have a cliche of people to hang with either. I knew and was friends with any and everybody. I never understood the whole hang with your own mentality. Even jocks like things other than football, the rich kids have interests other than spending money and acting superior. I learned pretty early in life you can almost always find some kind of common ground with a person if you try hard enough.

 

[dariel2323]

Not I have always been a passive guy and a bit shy sometimes. I am not seeking that, because I feel bad. I'm always normal.

 

[Josie]

Not a guy, but I was the complete opposite. It really affected my "education" actually, I couldn't stand the thought of being called on in class or getting any attention from anyone aside from my friends. I'm still like that.. I like to blend in and lay back, but it just never happens.. I come off as more of an extrovert, so I'm usually right in the middle of the action. Too much attention makes my brain buzz lol.

 

[kana_marie]

I was hiding as much as possible when I was in school. If someone was looking at me it typically meant they were makin fun of me, lol. My early 20' to early 30's I came out of my shell and was the life of the party . but now I'm back to not wanting anyone to look at me... Unless its one of those rare occasions where I look my absolute BEST!

 

[donnalynn47]

I didn't seek attention in school at all. I was just there didn't make waves or demand the spotlight in any way shape or form. Now when I wasn't in school on my time I was totally different I loved the attract attention to myself then.

 

[dyanmarie25]

No. I never was an attention seeker. In grade school to college, I never wanted to be the center of attention. It was as though I never existed. I hate it when people stare at me because I feel like they are silently judging me. It's annoying.

 

[bala]

People call me "wacky".I was a natural attention seeker,because i did funny things al lthe time in school college.I loved it and i got attention for what i did,but now the professional workplace,environment have all made me "behave" well.:/

 

[JoanMcWench]

I wanted to say, 'Hence why you're a wrestling fan' but I thought that was too easy. No, I've never been one for too much attention. Not sure why it was just never a thing I wanted.

 

[sillylucy]

My teachers would write things like "Is too much of a chatter box." When I was a kid. I never understood what that meant until I was older. I think it just showed that I was intelligent! I was definitely an attention seeker.
