Some girls thrive on attention. Everything they do is specifically intended to capture the attention of other people, but mostly men. Being this desperate is not attractive and usually has the exact opposite results than what they had hoped to achieve.
At some point every one of us has been at a place in our life where we wanted, or felt that we needed, some extra attention, or any attention, if we felt like we were not getting any. But when you start noticing that it never feels like you are getting enough, and you feel almost invisible when you are not the center of attention, it’s time to stop and figure out what exactly is going on to make you feel this way. Just reacting to this feeling will only make it worse. Instead of panicking and doing things to make other people, or one specific person, give you the attention you crave, take a step back and figure it out.
People desperate for attention are not always truly starved for attention. They are just not acknowledging the attention they are getting, or they are not getting it from who they want to get it from. But acting desperate by doing outrageous things to try and force that person to see you will almost always have disastrous results.
Just because somebody isn’t telling you exactly what you want to hear, or following you around, doesn’t mean they are not noticing you. You are getting attention by just being out and about in the world. The kind of attention you get will depend on how you handle yourself in situations, especially stressful ones. And one of the stressful situations that can make you or break you, is being around someone who you are attracted to, and not knowing if they feel the same way.
The best thing to do when faced with a situation like this is to put yourself on your best behavior, and let them sit back and enjoy the show.
The quickest way to get the attention you want is to give your attention to the people and things that you enjoy. Do everything it takes to thoroughly immerse yourself in what makes you happy and shinny. This will not only take your mind off what you don’t have at the moment, but it will also put you in a pretty flattering light for all to admire.
Nothing paints a picture of confidence and beauty like a person who is drenched in the things that they are passionate about. And the exact opposite can be said of the person who brings attention to themselves by highlighting all the things that are going wrong in their life, or ignoring the good things around them, just so they can nag and whine to the person they want to notice them. Doing this will get you noticed all right, for all the wrong reasons.
Being the sad puppy begging for attention may get you a few sympathetic moments of time and kindness, but only long enough for the other person to find a way to get away.
