Caution.. while seeking attention

 

Seeking attention is a primeval behaviour. The individual seeks validation or admiration from the other. 

Attention seeking behaviour could be due to :

Low self esteem- self esteem is a broad spectrum of the self. Basically it is how one views oneself; how one loves and respects oneself. 

jealousy- where one is constantly comparing with another and feel threatened 

loneliness- in the current scenario senior citizens often fall in this category. they feel isolated and left out amidst the rat race in whihc their wards and younger relatives are taking part.

Apart from these basic causes, those who suffer from histrionic/narcissistic/  borderline personality disorder/  also exhibit Attention seeking behaviour.

I was musing the other day that life is a paradox. When one is seeking attention it seems to elude!!
