The fact that you're so sick and demented, not even deserving the right to lick the shit off my boots, let alone any positive feelings of others.
OT- Nothing. Human beings are born wanting to be valued. Some people don't get that at times and develop an even greater need than others because of this. Some people are lonely, desperate, miserable individuals who feel totally drained without others around to experience life with, and sometimes they do not get any of these social needs met. Such people do not deserve our scorn, but likely at worst our pity, not that such a thing will help them. There are many people I've known that were total attention seekers. I am an absurdly introverted person and at times could not deal with them at all, but I am proud that I remained friends with one of these people despite how hard it was at times, and I feel rather guilty about how I treated some others.

There's nothing wrong with it, requiring it's a reasonable quantity. If someone wants attention every minute of the day, then that's not acceptable.
Also, you're not obliged to give anyone your time. If you don't want to talk to them because you've been having a shit day or you just want some solitude, the other person should respect that.

Neediness isn't a very attractive personality trait.
For a dog, it's cute, for a person, it's pathetic.

Nothing inherently wrong with it, it's just what specific people do to draw attention that's wrong.

Well, the way I see it, there's two kinds of people.
People who, for whatever reason, have a genuine need for that attention. They aren't being given it anywhere else, they've got psychological problems, or they've just had a bad day and want someone to feel sorry for them. Nothing wrong there.
Then there's people who are literally just constantly after attention. Everyone must always pay attention to their problems, no-one and nothing else. That's not okay. It's annoying at best, and at worst, it's full on childish, bratty behaviour.

It depends on how much of your attention/sympathy they want.
I used to know a girl who was constantly moaning about the most trivial fucking things.
"I've lost my make-up bag, fml. I have no money left cause I spent it on booze fml. I'm sat opposite an ugly person in this restaurant, fml. I'm sooooo badly done to!"
There's only so much sympathy I can give someone. If you're always bitching and refusing my advice then I'm gonna give up on you. A cry of help from someone who genuinely needs it, and I'll always try help with their problems.
I've lost count the amount of times I've wanted a bit if sympathy or someone to talk to and they dismiss my problem as unimportant or just don't care. I always try give a helping hand when I can, I just don't like people who take the piss with it.

I think it's more about reciprocity. Being there for people is great. Being there for people CONSTANTLY is draining. Being there for people and then discovering they aren't going to be there for you is blood-boiling.
If you be there for people, people feel great about being there for you.

This intrigues me Revnak. Intrigued indeed.Revnak said:
Being an attention whore isn't a healthy state of mind so that's why it's bad. But then again people need attention to stop them plastering there brains all over the ceiling. It's ok to want attention when you need it but it's not ok to go out of your way to get it.
I'll show you intrigue all over your ass unless you lick harder, you sick cretin. In fact, I'll do it anyway. No reason to let the paddle go to waste.Total LOLige said:
On a totally unrelated note, why do I keep making comments like this? WHY??? I don't even have kinks! I swear! I'm like a brand new hose right out of the hardware store!
S&M I suppose. I have a freakish compulsion to make absurdly low brow jokes on this site. I don't understand it at all. For some odd reason I saw it and ran with it, even though it sucked. I never do anything like this in real life. Oh well, I'll just chock this one up as a loss on my part. Some jokes work, some don't. This one I suppose I'll regret.Total LOLige said:
It's something about this site... some kind of virus that can jump from a computer into one's brain and infect a person with temporary insanity. Last week I think it was, we had an insanity plague and people haven't fully recovered yet.Revnak said:
OT: There's nothing wrong with people wanting attention, everybody needs it, it's when certain people need it to much that it becomes an issue. These are "clingy" people who freak out if they go 24 hours without speaking to someone, usually a particular person.
Also those people who think the world revolves around them.
This thread has brilliant and most likely unintentional foreshadowing in its title.
OT: It can often be annoying, especially when you use cheap tricks like this thread's title to get it.

Good way of putting it.Daystar Clarion said:
Doing something that garners attention isn't strictly wrong. Doing something purely to garner attention is pathetic.
There's a difference, I should point out, between doing something for attention, and doing something to entertain others.
Also, I'm getting tired of threads that keep their actual point out of the title. I mean, really. This thread could have been about anything. It's just to make people go into it to see what it's about. That's what the title is for.
