Do we all like getting attention?

Xiakeyra

Do we all like getting attention?
Why do people like getting attention/ popularity?
There are even people who has some mental disorder about that issue.
How far can people go to get their little share of attention?

I think being a little bit popular is nice but being too much popular is dangerous for mental health. What do you think?

i find your location rather attractive. i know you're asking yourself, [i]"what does that have to do with the topic"[/i]; but stay with me, here. as with all things, i can relate it back to the topic of discussion.

popularity is something we feed upon as humans. no matter the arena, we all need and have the want to be 'liked'. that's the reason why the Harvard grads/geniuses behind Facebook created a 'Like' option for statuses.

how do i relate this back to me finding your location attractive? Well, Spaniards are well known for their conquest of popularity by traveling to places they have no reason for being and claiming as their own...with no right to do such.

....and i find that attractive[/i]

[i]really? that's all you gathered from that post? no retort? no positive reinforcement of the notions made in said post? should this last question follow the previous questions, but formulated in a much more rhetorical manner?

Then you surely will find all Europe attractive since that's exactly what they did during colonialism

[i]just one more comment and i'm done:[/i]

[quote="ThomYorke"]I remember you being funnier.[/quote]
[i]
and i remember you being much more unnoticeable and completely ignored by me; how about we keep it that way. seriously, delete yourself from the archives; you don't want to be remembered for being less than awesome, you big penis (in most cases, that's a compliment...this is not most cases).

which brings us back to the topic! Europe, indeed, has been driven to populating the globe with its presence. its one of many things that makes for an everlasting mark on our society (or society, in general).

and yes, i do indeed find all of Europe attractive. if i could, i'd put it in my left front pocket and brush up against people while at work, which would prompt them to say "is that Europe in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?" in which case, i'd respond by saying, "it's Europe...

and i'm happy to see you."[/i]

Not Ukraine, Sweden, Switzerland, or more than half of Europe.

Also, Logan's much more readable without the italics for some reason.

I don't like getting attention, I like being the best at things. Its a much better way of looking at things.

You don't need other people to say you're good if you believe it yourself. Sure, for people who aren't good, obviously stupid its practically false hope, but you know where I'm getting at.

Try to be the best you can. Whether popularity follows or not.

Either that's sarcasm, or you're acting like you know me even though we don't know eachother at all? Aside from the flame wars that is.

It was sarcasm, but your response is making it seem otherwise.

I like attention. I'm like one of those standoffish people who don't talk much, so it's nice to be noticed once in a while.
Heck, I even rejoice at flamers taking the time to rattle on at me.
I guess when you're already popular, attention doesn't feel quite as grand.
