Life is all about the connections that we forge with our fellow human beings, and we thrive off interaction with others.Yes we want and need a certain degree of attention but there is a line thas separates a healthy desire from an unhealthy ones,ika nga in moderation lang huwag dapat sumobra at lumagpas sa linya.
So lets tackle some examples as to what I've notice there's lots of it everywhere.
You, on the other hand, can have a conversation that’s entirely centered on you, your problems, and your achievements, and not even realize it.
Maybe you share controversial articles and wait for the reactions to roll in.Or perhaps you post cryptic messages suggesting that something’s wrong with you and then wait for the questioning comments and concerned messages to arrive.

So lets tackle some examples as to what I've notice there's lots of it everywhere.
Pretending You Can’t Do Something
You pretend that you’re incapable of doing something that you are, in fact, fully capable of, so that someone will do it for you, and focus their attention on you whilst they’re doing so.Fishing For Compliments
You point out your achievements, however insignificant, in a way that means that those listening have to compliment you.You do this to reassure yourself and for validation.Whilst we all fish for compliments occasionally – if we’ve got a new haircut, outfit, or job, for example – doing it persistently is a warning sign.Not Asking About Other People’s Lives And Problems
You dominate the conversation and gain the sympathy or advice of the person you’re talking to, but rarely reciprocate.Your world revolves entirely around you.Conversations should be two-sided. When you catch up with someone, you should ask them about their life just as much as they ask about yours.You, on the other hand, can have a conversation that’s entirely centered on you, your problems, and your achievements, and not even realize it.
Being Controversial On Social Media
You stir up trouble on social media and are as controversial as possible just to provoke a reaction.Maybe you share controversial articles and wait for the reactions to roll in.Or perhaps you post cryptic messages suggesting that something’s wrong with you and then wait for the questioning comments and concerned messages to arrive.
Constantly Exaggerating
You embellish stories and like to make every bad situation sound far worse than it really is/was in order to gain sympathy.Causing Arguments
When attention is the aim, it often doesn’t matter whether that attention is positive or negative, as long as it’s there.You consistently cause arguments for no good reason, often just for the sake of receiving attention from the person or people you’re arguing with, however negative that attention might be.Doing Things Just For The Praise
Anything you do that’s motivated by the recognition or praise you’ll receive – rather than because you genuinely want to do it or because it will have a positive effect on your life or the lives of others – also falls under this category.excerpt from aconsciousthinker
