People that try too hard to get attention...

  Author:  34487  Category:(Discussion) Created:(7/31/2002 9:43:00 PM)

I have to admit to a bratty trait of mine...

I purposely avoid those who try too hard to get attention. When I am taking a walk and someone drives by with their windows down and music so loud it vibrates the pavement, I don't even look their way. When someone wears something tight or that is falling off, or has offensive words on it, I pretend I don't even see them. When I've gone to a club and someone is trying to "out-dance" everyone, I pretend they aren't there.

These behaviors are so annoying to me, that I choose not to satisfy or condone them with my attention.

How do you handle people that try too hard to get attention?

Date: 7/31/2002 9:47:00 PM  From Authorid: 46486    I laugh! Why? It's pathetic when they try so hard to get attention.  
Date: 7/31/2002 9:48:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 34487    Pathetic, that about sums it up!   
Date: 7/31/2002 9:48:00 PM  From Authorid: 59811    Yea, same with me. If they are loud in any way or a show off I try not to pay any attention to them. I don't think people who dress "wild" want attention. Some people do but I personally don't. I think its self expression and its just telling the public they don't have to follow the rules And that is good because you can have an individual style and not get brainwashed. lol

Date: 7/31/2002 9:49:00 PM  From Authorid: 35160    I tend to ignore ppl like that.. Its annoying.. Huggs Shay  
Date: 7/31/2002 9:50:00 PM  From Authorid: 3395    Hee Hee, I thought I was the only one that did this! Yes, I try to pretend like I never saw them. Certain people get on my nerves like that and I don't want them to think I actually care. Peace,   
Date: 7/31/2002 9:51:00 PM  From Authorid: 26452    LoL Im with you, I hate that, its so annoying. Whats the point? lol  
Date: 7/31/2002 9:51:00 PM  From Authorid: 53339    My best friend's cousin tries to be the center of attentio all the time. I cannot stand her she wants everyone to like her. Everyone does but she wants everyone's boyfriend to like her including her cousin's boyfriends. She talks really loud so that ervone hears her conversation or laughs really loud. We think it is that everyone will think that she is the life of the party it is really annoying.  
Date: 7/31/2002 9:52:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 34487    PunkyChik: I agree with you. I'm all for individuality, that's different then an adult wearings something just purchased in the toddler department, or an adult wearing something that's so large their grundies are showing. Dressing punk or Goth is a bit different to me...I wish I had the courage to dress punk or Goth. I think those are styles, not necessarily in all cases attempts for attention.  
Date: 7/31/2002 9:54:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 34487    Shay: I agree, ignoring them is sometimes the only solution.  
Date: 7/31/2002 9:54:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 34487    Hey Holly... Yep, we think alike on this one!   
Date: 7/31/2002 9:55:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 34487    MoonAngel: I wish I knew why they think this is constructive attention anyway? ;o)  
Date: 7/31/2002 9:57:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 34487    BabyCry... boy that does sound annoying. I think some people confuse any attention for recognition. Attention is deserved by people that earn it through their selflessness or generosity. ;o)  
Date: 7/31/2002 10:02:00 PM  From Authorid: 53339    By the way when I said that 'everyone does'^^^^ I meant it as saying that everyone wants people to like them. But most people see through her. Not only does she try to be the center of attention but she uses people. But anyways I don't tend to pay her any attention it is not worth the time.  
Date: 7/31/2002 10:25:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 34487    You're right about that, it's not worth your time. ;o)  
Date: 7/31/2002 10:29:00 PM  From Authorid: 48128    Hehe.... So you do see us! Okay I do some stuff but its not to be noticed its more to entertain me or the world.... Like I go past a golf course and I am driving I yell FORT or HEY YOU! GRR! No I don't wear offensive shirts or blast my music or dress funny or wear things that don't fit me! I look quite normal... But if you hear someone Yell fort or hey you! Grr its not that I want you notice me I am just trying to entertain myself...  
Date: 7/31/2002 10:36:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 34487    Ziggle.... well, that's alright. At least your honest about your motives, to entertain yourself! Nothing wrong with that and you aren't one of the annoying attention-getters!!! ;o)  
Date: 7/31/2002 10:41:00 PM  From Authorid: 48128    hehe!  
Date: 7/31/2002 11:01:00 PM  From Authorid: 53558    I'm not too fond of exhibitions. They will do anything to get attention. I ignore them. Aromaitcs  
Date: 8/1/2002 1:15:00 PM  From Authorid: 52826    im with you! i especially hate those girls intown that are SO loud and scream at nothing and laugh like lunitics!! uh!!!!! its so repulsive!  
Date: 8/1/2002 1:16:00 PM  From Authorid: 25828    that's how i handle it too - by not giving them the attention they expect.  
Date: 8/4/2002 12:39:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 34487    It looks like we all agree on this one! ;o)
