Top 39 Attention Seeker Quotes That Will Make Anyone Laugh
Gallery
It's true to say we've all been there at some point in our lives when we do something so out of character just to get ourselves noticed by someone we love, or on a social media post.
Now imagine doing this at every social gathering or among your friends and family. Yes, such people exist, and you may not have noticed yet, but they may be right amidst our lives, trying their best to feed their love of attention.
Attention seekers do anything to make situations about themselves in sometimes narcissistic ways, simply because they require validation. Perhaps you're mature enough and belong to a very responsible group of friends who wouldn't resort to such a tactic. Attention seeking is not inherently wrong, but it can quickly get annoying.
It may not always come from a bad place. It may be the result of lacking trust, confidence, or even appreciation.
And once they've gotten the taste for it, they may get addicted to it. Or, when it comes to relationships, you may seek attention from your parents or your significant other. This may burden the relationship as one of them is trying to please the other while the other has a very high and constant expectation.
With social media being a part of our daily lives, we come across attention-seeking people and behaviour in almost every other post. Social media being an attention seeker's playground with access to so many people who can feed them attention at just the press of a button.
It may indeed seem funny at times, but sometimes these little stints may be a cry for help. Keep an eye out for the signs.
So how do we deal with this? You may completely ignore the attention seekers, or you may need to reassure them that they matter and are relevant.
Personally, it is never too late to start working on self-love and recognizing what you're truly worth. But sometimes attention seeking is fun, we all deserve the lime light sometimes and need reassurance!
Let's see how, with these attention seeker quotes. If you need more such articles, try our attention quotes and extrovert quotes.
