Reilly Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 For the love of jebus?! I'm very manic when it comes to this. There are times when I need a lot of attention from a lot of people, as long as its all positive vibes and I'm not just pissing people off like a lot of dramatic attention whores I know. And then there are times when its like, leave me be, let me lay and bathe in my own pool of blood sweat and tears for 3 days with an 18 inch all meat pizza stuck to my ear. Yeah, that is 18 inches.

Matter-Eater Lad Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I used to require attention all the time growing up but not so much in the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gitta Rensolo Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Good question....makes me think somehow... as a first thing I can say that I obviously do not need as much attention as my friends do....or maybe I don't GET as much attention as they do sometimes...haha well honestly in most situations I get attention I feel good....don't know why though because actually I'm more the shy person.... so, all i can say is: If i get enough attention of the right people I feel good..... and if I get too much attention of the wrong people I feel not that good...

Ms Magpie Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 well... i certainly don't like that someone ignores me, especially if i feel close to that person. i need attention, but i dont mean that whole world has to pay me much of attention, but if i get it i feel ok, and if i don't, i feel a bit bad. it depends on my mood and others... :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lera Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 There're probably one-two people I really want to get much attention from (it doesn't mean I do get it but I want to, huh) and I guess it's all. I don't need much from all others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ondes Martenot Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 i hate when i get too much attention especially from someone who i don't give a fuck about...i feel awkward in those situations i mainly need attention only from my family and my best friends, and of course from my girlfriend, though the last one isn't relevant at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lera Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I forgot to mention that I hate much attention from outside adults... Like, my parents's friends or whoever. They like to hug me, shake my hand etc like I'm seven or something like that. When I was younger they used to pinch my cheeks or stroke my head. That always annoyed me as hell. I mean, that's sick.

StarsKay Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 this thread has just reminded me of a thory of knowledge class i did a few years ago. something about the core to happiness where there were like 4 or 5 things that create happiness in our lives. anyway, i don't remember much of that, but one was the connectivity with others, the attention people give us to acknowledge our presence makes us feel connected, and the more connected we feel, the happier we are. that is sort of what it was all about... anyway, after thinking about it i enjoy attention from my family and friends. strangers and people i don't really know well, i don't pay much attention to them. it's great to feel acknowledge, indeed i love to be acknowledge when i deserve it. the attention i'm more concerned with situations that concern my family and close friends...

yellowy eyes Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I enjoy being alone. But I also need someone around me, I guess we all do. I mean I do need attention from my best friends too and from my bf. I used to feel really awkward too if somebody I don't really care about came to me and tried to talk to me. But now I'm more social and "tolerant" and I talk to them just to be polite.. I don't mean that I think they really want to talk to me. I think they want to be polite too when they come and talk to me. some of those that I have felt suspicious about have turned out to be quite ok. But sometimes annoying too. but I know I am too. my mom doesn't really care about my school or my friends and that was kinda hard for me before but now it's really ok for me. I don't really like my father to mess my hair like he always does either. And i hate family dinners that I have at my dad's place where my parents ask about my boyfriends and friends.. we have those at my dad's place because he's over protective but at my mom's place we hardly ever eat together. That's one of the reasons I prefer to live at my mom's place more. So I'm pleased with the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdMike Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I think I need attention... but I can't size it... I'm not yearning for it (unless it comes from a girl I love...), but if someone gives me attention, I won't refuse it... (sure!) In my mind, attention = a kinda "fame" (a bit exaggerate, I know...) = shyness is back = insecurity = defence... especially with ppl I don't know...

ClearAsCrystal Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I wasn't really brought up coddled and cuddled by my familia. I got more attention from strangers, for bees sakes. I never felt that inner need for it...maybe for that reason. There are times that I do like it though..but it depends from whom and for what reasons and HOW. But I will never outwardly jump for attention or let my desires colors show when I do want it. If I get it, I get it. If not, I don't feel like dying!

Guest Grace Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 i do need a lot of attention... somehow. i think it's good when people notice that i'm around. lol. it's weird. on the one hand i want peoples' attention and i want that they care about me, but on the other hand i think that i'm so much better at giving than receiving. i can't handle it when people are nice to me. lol. it just makes me feel a bit awkward. i feel like i owe them something then. :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mad Hatter Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I hate attention. I don't need it. I'd rather be in the back watching the people who get attention and mutter things about how imperfect they are despite the attention they're getting.

Oenona Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I need attention in general (a little) but, like others said, from the right persons. I don't like to feel ignored. Anyone does. Anyway, it depends basically on my mood. Sometimes I feel I don't need anyone, 'cos I can get my own way by myself but when I'm low, I really need others to spend a little bit of their time...just for cheering me up or listen to me.

maiu Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Maybe if I do something attention-worthy I feel like crap if people don't look at me, but I don't usually need all that buzz around me and prefer being away from the spotlight. Honestly, I want attention when I deserve it but I HATE getting it when having a lousy day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellynelly Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I think I will be a hermit when I get older, I don't need much attention at all, I'd rather be left alone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green eyes88 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 sometimes i neew alot of attention, sometimes i wanna be left alone i think everybody is like that, it's just human. And there are normal human behaviours that are acceptable to show when a person wants attention and when he doesnt. Like sometimes ppl would act sad just to get some attention... but of course, there are some more than others who want attention allll the time... or the opposite ;) i think im somewhere in the middle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
