Do you enjoy attention?

[Flowerchild]

Like the title says, do you like being the center of attention? I know people who will literally do anything to get people to notice, and others who don't even like to be talked to. How about you?

 

[Nick]

When I want it. Most people naturally enjoy having some form of attention directed towards them, and I am no different. While I don't focus on being the center of attention, it's nice to know that someone notices you and gives you some attention when you want to have it. I don't go out of my way to get attention unless I want it, though. I'm content with being a wallflower from time to time.

Juuuust let me drop this over in OVP.

To answer your question, it depends on my mood. I tend to get quite a lot of attention offline and if I'm feeling alright then I'll enjoy it and make the most of it, but there are times when I don't want it at all and I wish it would go away. I hate it when that happens, because I don't know how to shift the attention without being rude and upsetting people, so I just deal with it for a little while and take myself off somewhere if I can.

 

[EmeraldSerenade]

Ummmm depends. I like getting attention from certain people to be honest, yet I really dislike being the center of attention >_>

 

[Maka Chop]

Sort of, but after a while it makes me feel uncomfortable. /._.\

 

[Shining Raichu]

In real life, I can't stand having attention on me. I prefer to be invisible and not have to deal with people asking me questions about my day or my life. I don't mind so much with my friends, but the attention of my family is almost always unwelcome. I never know when engaging them in conversation for too long will result in something negative or uncomfortable for me.

 

[Saryka]

Depends on who I'm with. When I'm with family or close friends, I love it. I'm comfortable around these people so I don't care if I make a bit of an ass out of myself and become the centre of attention for a bit. Otherwise, no, I'm shy and socially awkward and would rather not be noticed by randoms or even acquaintances.

 

[Patatas Fritas]

I don't enjoy attention. No not at all. I live for attention. wooo. yay.

I like it when everyone's looking at me and paying attention to me, that's probably one of the reasons I like acting because everyone is watching me...
I prefer it if I know the people who are paying attention to me but attention from those I don't know is appreciated too...

 

[The Void]

Since I rarely become the center the attention, I enjoy it and savor it and try to preserve it. I don't like bad attention (e.g, gossips, rumors, etc.), though. Whenever I get bad attention, I try fixing it somehow as soon as possible.

 

[Kikaito plush]

I'm never the center of attention because people other people I know always are. I would like some attention though.. but to answer the question No I don't.

I agree with this fine, young man here.

 

[Esper]

Yeah, I do. Most of the time I'm content to be part of the scenery, but when I do want to stand out a little I like it when I get good, positive attention.

I want to be in control when I am being noticed. I don't like it at all if it's something someone thrusts on me without my being prepared.

 

[Ayselipera]

Most of the time no, especially if I don't really know the people who are giving me all the attention. Ideally I enjoy being appreciated over just getting attention, but all I need is a simple line or gesture that shows appreciation for me to be fulfilled rather than a big showing.

 

[Zeffy]

Being the center of attention means people will expect more from you, which is something I loathe. It is very hypocritical for one to say that they don't want attention, which they really do, albeit in some kind of way, and I am no different.

I'm pretty much almost always in the group being the center of attention, being the only center of attention is sort of once in a while thing. I do enjoy being the center of attention--up to the point in which they start making me do things that violates my beliefs.

 

[Briar]

i don't enjoy attention whenever i just want to have a quiet moment to myself. otherwise, i love attention, especially when i'm with my group of friends. however, that doesn't mean i'm the type who likes to steer the conversation towards me; i just like it when people give me attention.

 

[BZW Golem]

I like having attention when I'm with friends or people that I like..
but when It comes to people I dislike I'd prefer to be left alone >.>

 

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

I like having attention when I'm around friends, not so much around strangers. And I'd rather not attract attention for the wrong reasons, which is usually what happens when I become the center of attention for people who are either strangers or not on good terms with me.

Attention is good in the right situation, but I tend to try to blend in when not in the company of people I know.

 

[Fluorescent Dinosaur]

Yeah, I like it. I think everyone does though. But too much attention ends up becoming intrusive, and I don't like attracting attention for the wrong reasons. It's all about the image you're projecting to other people.

 

[Hartnett]

I don't enjoy not being noticed, but attention as in entirely, all-eyes focused on me renders me uncomfortable, or rather nervous.

 

[TwiDragon]

I like attention, but I like it in a way were people can look up to me. Not someone who begs for it. I'd rather earn it, ya know :P
