Do any of you people like to be the center of attention in real life?
I have always been someone to bring attention to myself, but it is not really something I want to do, it is just what comes naturally. I have noticed a number of people hate to have a group's attention. I wonder how common craving the spotlight is to avoiding it.

I can only speak for myself...
It feels good to be recognized...but briefly then... moving things along...
If the "spotlight" stayed on me for more than a minute I would be starting to get nervous...
But as far as the real world goes,,,, there are so many people that are addicted to attention its not funny.Like (2)

If it's merited I can tolerate it, but I'm more likely to pass credit on to those I feel deserve it. But if I had to describe how I feel about it, I would rather simply be "noticed" than the center of attention.

i've always been like that. when i was a little girl, i used to do it on purpose because i was so used to being the center of everyone's attention. now it's just always all eyes on me, even if i don't try. i fully accept that i'm a bit of a drama queen though, so that might be a part of the reason :P

Oh no. Definately not. I try as hard as I can to avoid being center of attention. I'm not anti-social or anything, I'm just a bit on the shy side. Lol.

Ever since I was a very young lad, I found myself to be victimized by an ungodly amount of attention...there never came a single day that I craved it. As a teenager, it only got worse. I found myself constantly bombarded by people who wanted to be my friends (being one with no prejudices nor did I ever hold any idea/practice/philosophy with any bias...people felt comfortable around me). Again, I never wanted that...nor did I like it. I became this budding star athlete in my area...now people wanted to meet me (scouts, coaches and fans)....yuck, yuck and yuck.
But I was always
Friendly
Cordial
and
Polite
It's just who I am.
In college, I always knew the hard answers. Therefore, people wanted a strong study partner. I still played my sports...athletiscm is in my blood. Reasons why I was still somewhat in the eye of my immediate crowd.
The people who knew me, remembered me.
The new folk in my life, wanted me to remember them.
When I entered the professional world...due to my sucessful resume, I grew a reputation amongst clients and peers. Keeping the attention, still strong.
Today, I rarely go anywhere without bumping into someone who recognizes me.
But ask me, do I like any of this?
No, I still I prefer my privacy!
My sister on the other hand (my lone sibling), relishes attention! She models and has been on numerous magazine covers. She can't get enough of this...and as far as I'm concerned....she can have all of it!
That is my confession, thank you for tolerating it :-)
I am so finicky when it comes to my privacy.
Again, thanks Ms Jean for allowing me to spew my personal secrets...between you, me and your readership.Like (1)

Not often. I guess if it's positive attention that's fine. Recently I've been getting loads of attention at school. form people I don't even know. It's flattering but it's hard for me to take in sometimes.

Not really but like you it seems to happen anyway. I tend to slip away when they aren't looking.
