I just have this constant urge to be paid attention to. I don't actively pursue attention, probably subconsciously I do, but not obviously any way. But I just can't let it go. I love it when people pay attention to me. I broke up with my boyfriend of 6 months recently because I felt that I wasn't getting enough attention because everyone I knew knew we were together so they didn't try and hit on me. As you can see, I'm crazy and there's something seriously wrong with me. And I know this! But I can't stop it. I can't stop myself from craving attention. I want people to look at me, stare at me, want to talk to me, try and get close to me, want me, love me. Is this normal? Am I some sort of narcissist? Is there any way to fix me? Do I even want to be fixed...

    paying attention to you would be only fair if you actually had anything interesting to say. You are not a narcissist.
    You are histrionic.

    It's normal to want a little attention sometimes. just don't be obvious about it, that pushes people away. I get that way when I like someone & he gives someone else more attention. :/

    See the problem with this is there are many people out in the world who are like this, like the guy who goes running on a hot day without a shirt. Obviously he is doing it to get noticed. Its probably alot more obvious to others then you think it is. Especially if you classify yourself as a "narcissist" that "craves attention".

    Someone said it above you have to look within yourself to find out why you have this emptiness that needs to be filled with getting attention. It will lead you to situations you regret if you continue with it.

    The worst are the people who say they dont want attention then purposely go out of their way to get it. Sports bra at the gym, speedos at the beach, etc...
