the only thing wrong with that is that you need to let others have attention too.

Depends on the attention your seeking, attention sometimes isn't a bad thing we all want attention sometimes, its when people do it excessively or in a negative way that begins to become bothersome to others.
When people make up lies to have people feel sorry for them to gain that sort of attention it will bring bad karma as it makes people feel used when they're lied to but theres nothing wrong to just speak with a friend honestly from time to time.
If people are craving attention more than necessary then there is a problem in their life style, even though its attention they feel they want maybe theres another problem they need fixed like they have issues with them selves or they are in an unhealthy environment.
Go and find different things to try when you want attention, go have a good time with a friend at the movies or spend the day out somewhere instead of feeding your craving with negative ways to gain attention.

Like the other people answering this question, I'd say there's nothing wrong with wanting a bit of attention sometimes. It makes us feel loved and valid as human beings.
Where the problems come in are (a) when someone wants attention all the time, to the detriment of others' legitimate needs, and (b) the methods that some people use to get attention.
I can think of a woman I worked with who couldn't come into the office without doing something to attract attention to herself. Sometimes, it would be a story about what had happened to her on the way to the office, sometimes she'd be shouting & swearing at someone, and, if all other inspiration failed, she'd whistle. (A noise I detest, I might add!!) When she fixed a problem, she then found it necessary to tell everyone about it. The rest of us just fixed things, and got on with solving the next problem. She had to be the drama queen.
She found it necessary to impose her personality, and her will on others to an extreme extent: and there were at least 4 people who were on the brink of putting in serious complaints about her behaviour before she was relocated.
So, to my mind, this is not behaviour in which you want to indulge. Indulge is the word, this is very self-indulgent behaviour.
It is also consistent with some psychological disorders, especially the manic phase of a bipolar disorder.
There are other behaviours which are also described as attention seeking, for example, dressing in a bizarre manner, doing things that you and everybody else knows are going to get you into trouble, and so on. This tends to get you negative attention (punishments & sanctions & the like), and is often indicative of other problems, - for example, not getting your fair share of positive attention, especially from (in the case of a child), your parents.

Seems your cutting, your desire to lose weight even though your extremely thin, and your desire for attention is all related. I'm glad you stop, but eat something, the health damage from starving your self will show up latter in life if you don't. People do care. If you notice, several people are watching over you.

Nothing but its all how you go about getting that attention.
If you go around passing out sexual favors, people will talk, and justifiably so.
If you go around trying to impress people, you will usually come across as loud and obnoxious.
Let your talents shine through naturally. That way, the attention you receive is genuine, and based on WHO you are, not just an image you want to project.

Nothing. Unless you're looking for attention by alienating the people around you.

Nothing, as long as you're not obnoxious and rude about it.
Everyone craves a little attention sometimes.

Nothing. If it's for the right reason, say...you have a talent you wish to share. Serial killers also seek attention, but for the WRONG reasons...get it?

Nothing.
It would be wrong not to want attention from time to time.

Nothing wrong with ego-fluffing once in a while. . . as long as we don't make a habit of it. That's when we become a pain in the rump!
