Do you go out of your way to get attention?

[dart321]

When your with a group of people, are you constantly thinking of some joke/pun to throw at them? I have two friends who are really crazy about attention. You can tell, they just sit there thinking of something funny to say to impress someone/anyone.

By the time they get it, we're on to another subject completely. Rather entertaining if you ask me. Anyway, what about you? Be honest.

 

[CyberSh33p]

I'm an immensely attractive and entertaining naturally, so I don't go out of my way

 

[TinyKilbasa]

I'm pretty shy when it comes to large groups. They could all be really good friends of mine, and I'll still be tight lipped like a clam. But on a one on one conversation, or with relatively small group of people, I'm ok....depending on the subject

i try to move silently, down-wind and out of sight. i mean don't get me wrong, i've got the club tie, and a firm handshake. and i'm trusted by the people that i lie to (so that when they turn their backs on me, i'll get a chance to put the knife in).

So you lie to people....does that mean your lying now? :E

I am naturally shy and quiet, so sometimes I will work extra hard just to get noticed. I am not, however, someone who needs to be in the spotlight. I just hate being invisable.

Yeah, same here. I don't really talk in groups.. it's hard . And I'm completely forgettable. In graded discussion (I HATE graded discussion.. bleh) in English class, my teacher was going over my group and she says, "Austin said this, and Cheryl said this, and Michael said this... and I think [my name ] said this... and might've said this with Austin." It's sad.

look, don't fault me too much, i've got to keep one eye looking over my shoulder (it's going to get harder as i get older). in the end, i'll probably just pack up and fly down south.. hide my head in the sand. just another sad old man, all alone, dying of cancer ;(

 

[spookymooky]

The jokes and witty remarks come to me pretty much as the thing is being said, and i kind of blurt em out. So, im usually the center of attention.

 

[Matthias]

Generally no - I try to avoid drawing attention to myself at all times.

 

[Ames]

Generally no - I try to avoid drawing attention to myself at all times.

Me too.

 

[spookymooky]

Me too.

Great attempt to rip off his joke.

 

[Ames]

Great attempt to rip off his joke.

Indeed.

 

[P-Lo]

Whatchutalkinaboutwillis?


P.S. I think I made a funneh...

 

[Ames]

You've created a monster Matthias. ;(

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

Enough with the big text.


With the friends I have, I don't think any of us try to draw attention to ourselves really. Perhaps there are a couple who naturally get more attentio, but then...I've always been the quiet one, yet when I speak people will almost always listen. My friends and I are just natural around each toher really...

As for a group of people who arent my close friends. It really depends on the situation...For isntance, if the one getting all the attention will win a million pounds, then yeah...I do draw attention to myself

 

[Sprafa]

When it is necessary.

 

[qckbeam]

From time to time. In real life however, it is safe to say that I'm the antithesis of an attention-whore. I prefer to keep to myself.

 

[Alientank]

I have friends and that, and a social life but I don't go out of my way. I just act normal, talk normal, I'm not an attention whore. I'm the kind of guy who likes to sit back and listen to the convo and put little things in time to time.

 

[SubKamran]

No, all my jokes are made up on the spot. Stuff just hits me and I say it then everyone laughs.

I have a close-knit group of friends anyways, we've slept over, we've went to movies, etc all together.

 

[Prince of China]

What does the phrase, "Go out of your way...." mean?

 

[ailevation]

:naughty: Ailevation = Attention WHORE! JP though!

 

[<RJMC>]

I am not whit groups :rolling:

 

[OCybrManO]

Do you go out of your way to get attention?

Do you make meaningless polls on the Internet to try to get attention?

 

[ZeeM]

Do you make meaningless polls on the Internet to try to get attention?

Do you reply to meaningless topics to get attention?

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

YES

and we all do at times, if you put yes, you lie.

 

[Pogrom]

What does the phrase, "Go out of your way...." mean?

It means make an extra, specific effort.

 

[RakuraiTenjin]

I am very loud and do funnies, at times obnoxious but not to an extent that gets really annoying or crosses the line, and I receive lots of attention and positive feedback for it, so it's good :].
