I'm annoyed with girls or boys who need attention from the opposite sex, constantly. And most of the people who are attention seekers, from my experiences w/ people, have low self esteem and have some form of depression. Not saying everyone is.
Like this e-girl I used to know, loves the attention of boys. She has all these losers going after her but she's depressed and she always want more attention from guys. She used to flirt with my abusive ex while knowing he was taken. That's how desperate she was. She even cries when someone tells her she can't play well during online games. Then she goes to these guys online and cries to them even when she has a boyfriend. They start getting confused and have feelings for her and then she gets confused all while she has a boyfriend who she claims she loves.
I'm not jealous because I don't need attention. But it's annoying. Like if you have a boyfriend then why do you keep letting guys flirt with you and spend so many hours everyday together? Most smart guys would ignore girls like that and vice versa.

It depends on the kind of attention you seek... Of course e many people like to tell others attention whores and the like but let's be honest and say that most people like attention... And I don't mean crowds attention but every kind of attention... From you teachers, peers, parents, the opposite (or same) sex and so on... Liking attention isn't bad its normal... What you have to be careful is in how you seek attention on from whom... Doing something because it's "in" or because a group you want to be in does it and by doing it you will get noticed doesn't benefit you at all...
Be an attentiin seeker? Yes but carefully so you don't fall into a pit you cannot get out of... After all everybody loves attention... It's just that ones more than the others
Depends on how you get it and why you want it. If you think you need it, you have a problem just like someone that needs drugs/alcohol. So...
How do you get the attention?
Why do you want the attention?
... also it could be a current little phase. Like I went through when I first started getting buff. Instead of increasing my shirt size to maintain the comfort I once valued, I dropped a shirt size and dealt with t-shirts jammed uncomfortably in my armpits just to show off the muscle. I was posting pics like the one I'm using for my profile pic here on my facebook where my Grandma can even see them... just for the likes from the girls at work. It was a phase though... thank god because I like loose t-shirts better. How about you though, is it a new thing or a lifelong quest for the attention?
Bad not inherently. Annoying YES! We all desire to be acknowledged, cared for and about. In my opinion attention seekers tend to be the worst kind of people because they often lack compassion. The world is about fulfilling their needs no matter the discomfort it may cause others. What makes it annoying is that it's rarely actually satisfying. Attention is not connection. It gets people to look at you but not understand or care. So to me Attention seekers are annoying precisely because they're unconcerned for others while pursuing something that won't even actually help them. It's creating so much useless pain!

There good and bad ways of seeking attention. But everyone does it. Even those who stick their nose in the air at others because they don't understand that they seek attention too. Whether it's the attention of your parents or teachers for getting a good grade, wanting a kiss from your lover, having a party to celebrate your birthday, showing pics of your kids, selfies, dressing up, etc... The list goes on and on. So for anyone who wants to say how annoying or insecure behavior, really look at all the things you do. Even if it's just being a big giant a$$hole you love the feeling it gives you to piss people off.
It depends on how you seek it. The problem with seeking attention is that you tend to get the kind of attention that you seek, not the kind of attention that you really want. For instance, let's say you show a lot of cleavage and you get a load of men lusting over you. They're interested in your tits, not your feelings. Is that attention worth anything? Or does it make you no better than meat?
You should place the most value on the attention that you get for your most worthwhile attribues.I don't think it's bad to seek it for as long as your happiness is not dependent on it. If your happiness depends on you, you will always have complete control of your happiness. If your happiness depends on others, you won't have as much control of it.
I don't think it's bad to seek attention as long as you're not lying about things all the time, especially lies that harm other people. If it's not hurting anyone else, it might be annoying to some, but I don't believe it's bad or wrong necessarily. Then again, if you do things to seek attention and it's a habit for you, you might find that your friends start to resent you because everyone likes the spotlight once in awhile; you have to share it! Lol.
That depends on your own perception the meaning of doing it is that you feel ignored, at some point of your life by someone important, and that created a sort of trauma in you, making you feel insecure which ended up in trying to compensate by looking for similar people's attention,
Remember, it's easy to tell a girl a compliment, but what's more important is telling her something thats nice that she may think something about her isn't right. Take the song by John Legend, All Of Me... ---- the line"... Your Perfect Imperpections..."
And again, that pic was hot and sexy... I don't care what anyone says.its not bad...
its bad if you say i do not want attention.. but then do things that get you attention...
admit to yourself and accept that you like attention..
and we will give you all the attention you need...
and you are sexy enough that no men will get bored even if he look at you for hrs..Yes and no? Honestly just do it if it makes you happy! Just be careful not to attract the wrong kind of attention and don't go too crazy. Got a friend who seeks attention and she's going the wrong way about it, her obsession is turning a lot of people away. It's really off putting!
It is bad... Sometimes. It becomes really bad when it starts replacing attention from your best friends & family. With 'it' I refer to attention from social media :d
You should try to do one week (or even 1 day if you're addicted af) to do without the constant sadisfaction. Such a constant sadisfaction could get really unhealthypersonally I can't stand attention seeking girls. And, by that I mean the types who will flirt with everyone, lead guys on etc. So trying to get attention from someone you actually like isn't a bad thing, it's pretty normal. seeking attention or validation from anyone and everyone is a bad thing and is probably a sign of a deeper issue
Personally, attention seeking girls are the bane of everyone’s existence. It’s pathetic.
I think it's kind of hot myself, as long as she doesn't cross a line if we're dating. Show off, flirt with other guys, that doenst bother me. Just don't cross the line ;D Which we'd have to talk about in private if she's into that kind of thing.
Its normal to seek attention, the important thing is the ways you use to get attention as long as they are not negative go ahead and feed on it all you want.
it gets really annoying if the attention seeking is very constant and often, and sometimes makes people feel like you have nothing better to do in your life.
I don't know about bad, but, its certainly annoying as fuck for everyone else, And it shows a great deal of insecurity and feeling validation from others.
Everyone needs attention. People that say they don't are lying. Just don't hurt the people around you or make them uncomfortable. There's nothing wrong with seeking attention as long as you're not an asshole about it.
Perhaps a little, but it's so common that there isn't really anyone out there that will seriously call you out on it, unless you are getting attention and they're not.
Depends how you go about doing it. I think generally it's fine as long as you're not denying seeking attention while actively fishing for it
You really had me going there for a little while. Was looking forward to it. What happened? -- @TheAllure
If you are happy with your life without depending on anyone's attention it's good. if you think you are happy only when you get others attention , then you need help.
