attention seekers

people do lots of things to get attention... and sometimes it is pretty interesting what and how it is carried out. sometime its outrightly attention seeking like the big ego, then again for some there's a whole lot of subtle hints and messages..

well....i was just reflecting upon the topic, and it occurred to me that we all do need attention sometimes. to comfort us, to know that we are accepted, to tell us everything is gonna be all right, and maybe perhaps just so we could get some attention in this world where everyone is so self absorbed.

in that case, if its ok to seek attention, then where is the borderline between getting the right amount of attention and going OTT? some people i know tell the whole world about their problems and expecting everyone to listen and to look for that sympathetic ear out there...but really does everyone need to knw every single detail your miseries? or there's those who tells everyone bout their 'achievements' or rather lack of achievements too...

for the record, attention seeking is alright* at times. if the situation calls for it and if you're seeking the right people. it is not alright when its done constantly or its seeked from every random person.
