Hay guys some of you seem to be miss understanding, I like attention but I don't mean I'm like some attention craving kid! I'm naturally bubbly, but I'm not loud and look at me or anything like that. It's just me bubbly and somtimes I worry that I'm too me. I don't try to fake it, to get attention. I can't help who I am.

Once you become more secure with who you are and realize that you will get attention for just being who you are, you will stop trying so hard. Yes being over the top is a turn off, especially if you are putting on an act for attention. Relax and be yourself. Like yourself first as you are and others will like you and pay attention to you.

I don't think it's helpful to crave attention, doesn't that reveal insecurity? Bubbly people can be fun but then they can be annoying as well, learn to gauge how you are being received and act accordingly but don't be a people pleaser because that can often mean doing the wrong thing, stand out and be different. Most people don't like a show-off so be yourself.

i suspect one of two things. Either that you did not get much attention when you were younger and are now overcompensating for it OR you were made the centre of attention as a child and feel empty and rejected if you are not the centre of attention now. that is all very well but it can get in the way of good relationships ; with friends, colleagues as well as in your persional life. Learn to do things on your own - solitude can be very enjoyable and you will not feel such a need for attention.. Also,try and get a job where you will get the attention you crave so that you do not need it in all aspects of your life; eg. teaching, acting, combine both.

Well it depends. If you are dating someone and are in a public place and you are getting attention from another guy then it is going to get misconstrued as flirting and your guy may not appreciate that. Maybe you didn't get enough attention growing up so you are craving it now or maybe your guy is not giving you enough attention. It's not that it is a turn off, it's actually kind of sad :(

I know where you're coming from. I have an older brother who desperately craves for it. It's not a bad thing. I find that certain people crave it because of their family background. If you grew up as the "middle" child, odds are you've tried getting their attention all the time. It's not your fault, it's not theirs. People just have a hard time focusing on one individual. Some of us actually appreciate the bubbly, outgoing types. It makes us feel wanted and appreciated :)

When you like attention, that can be a good thing. Use it for a good thing, like try out for a play or another extracurricular activity that you can do really well in and have the spotlight. Sometimes you can be a little annoying when you always have the spotlight so try giving it to someone else once in awhile.

well i have it to and its not as bad as you but my family and boyfriend and they said alot of the times it comes off as insecurity
and people dont like it so clam down and take a breather your not going to fade into the back ground if you dont get all the attention all the time people will actually like you more if you let them have the spot light every once in a while

Depends on the girl/guy that you are talking to. I think that if that's your personality then it's great. Hopefully you don't crave attention because you secretly have problems with yourself or because you feel that you need to prove yourself.

Everyone likes and needs attention, we all want to be liked and to feel attractive to the opposite (or maybe the same) sex. Don't worry, just enjoy life.
