Are you an attention seeker?
Well I was thinking about this last nigh when I couldn't get to sleep and I came to the conclusion that yes I am an attention seeker though it was quite passive thorugh thr majority of my teenage years. Let me explain.
From the age of, lets say 0 to 11 I craved attention. I would always play up in front of guests and at school always take the part of the comedic character in all the plays. I;d sing and dance in front of 500 people and just bathe in the attention.
From 11 to 17 I became passive. I hated any attention coming my way and just didn't like being the centre of attention or beiing noticed. I was kind of a background person.
Now I'm 18 I believe my childhood character is returning. I crave attention again and do silly things, like dance and sing on the Underground, and just do anything to be the centre of attention. I always want to be heard and takne notice of. So yes I'm an attention seeker ( even now I seem to be seeking the attention of NSG.)
So is this something all people go through? Are we all attention seekers to some extent or does it really depend on the individual? Poll coming.

It can depend. I normally have no problem with making a fool of myself in public. Around friends I try an be courteous and not attract attention if say they're working or something.

Genuine attention whore this way...
I have bathed in attention (good and bad) since day one.
Was kind of addicted to it a while back, but I'm over it now. :p
I'd like to think I'm not that needy.

LOVE. Clearly attention-seeking is the devil's playground. Or something.

Someone honors you in sig regarding a bull in a china shoppe, or something akin to that.

I used to be the quiet kid that never spoke up in class. Later on in life, I ran campfire programs in Summer Camp.

Well of course. If you're gonna wail on someone's nads you got be low profile in order to get that first good shot in...
...
I'm indirect in the attention thing. I do things that garner attention, but attention absent of me. Even playing music I like to be able to fall in with the band after a solo or whatnot, but with my other endevours, I want them recognized and all of that without anyone knowing who I am (personally, I still put my name on the playbill) or that I'm there.
Though I think I want to be able to blend in with the crowd and not be seen, my actions give lie to that as the way I look prohibits that except maybe at a biker rally or a jam-band concert, neither of which I attend...
So yes and no, I guess.
You're really bored?
Can you tell?
Yay! I got attention! Woot! http://www.freesmileys.org/emo/gen078.gif

Attention whore!:p
somethimes i think i'm an attention seeker. when i was younger i was anything but an attention seeker. but now i have changed. i talk a lot and quite loud and often i talk more than everyone else. i also think i'm quite humorous IRL, i guess i use it to keep attention off other things i don't like to talk about.
Attention whore!:p
Who, me?? :eek:
If so, I would respond to your post, wouldn't I? Ha! So there!
Edit: D'oh!
