Yeah, seems like a pretty good description to me. That's why we love the internet. We can get attention without the commitment required in a real life social environment.

Oh yes. I love attention. I like to get up on stage and put on a performance (sing, tell stories, etc.) although I get stage fright beforehand.
I also have "middle child syndrome" so I am happy when I get attention and crabby when I feel ignored.

I'm not so sure, it depends on my mood, there are definitely times when I just want to disappear and attention is the last thing I want.

That's my point. Attention but on your own terms. On your own schedule.

I try to thanks others for their good work and I'd like to be thanked for what I do well....I suppose that is a form of attention....but I don't need to be praised or awarded excessively. I'd just like to know that my efforts truly made a difference to someone, from brewing a cup of coffee for them to building a piece of furniture for them...I'm always doing my best to produce satisfying work and I enjoy having it aknowledged by a smile and sincere thanks.

I wish I had your gift for words Hirsh. You always put things so well.
It's amazing how well your thoughts come across in your words. I can really relate to what you are saying.

Yep, i would agree this is a good description along with the further post that said "but on my terms"...yep,,,too difficult...too selfish appearing to me...wish there were an easier way but it ALWAYS seems to be on your terms...
funny, i am sure you guys would agree that you are very "agreeable", but when looked at closely, i feel there is a great deal of the opposite...
then again, i have met some that were truly sweethearts that would give you the proverbial shirt.

it always is that mysterious Fi...man, what a difficult thing to grasp...

Here are a couple of quotes to set you straight.

Running water never grows stale. So you just have to 'keep on flowing.'

Don't get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water. Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water. Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup; You put water into a bottle it becomes the bottle; You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.
Bruce Lee

There is nothing softer and weaker than water,
And yet there is nothing better for attacking hard and strong things.
For this reason there is no substitute for it.
Laozi, Tao te Ching, Ch. 78.

When I was a kid, humour-wise, the attention seeking manifested itself in slapstick and other forms of self-depreciating humour. It morphed into a sarcastic streak when I got into my mid-teens and it's been that way ever since.

Every now and then, and in the right company, it's released in the form of bursts of silliness.

Not any more than anyone else. It's just the way they go about it actually works.

Interesting...this is getting interesting.

Maybe it's just something I noticed in my friend who I believe to be ISFP, but, she has this weird relationship with attention.

She will only seek it out if she's fairly (very) confident that it will be positive towards her, otherwise, she will do everything in her capacity to blend into the background.

Some other types seeks attention for the sake of attention, she seeks it as a confirmation of her awsomeness, so, if she feels that the other person won't find her charms cute or disarming, she becomes an extreme introvert.

 

[Quinlan]

Haha, confirm my awesomeness!

 

[riel]

Absolutely! But in a nonverbal kind of way..
