Attracting attention to oneself — the desire to be in the center of attention of others and actions aimed at this task.
The desire to attract attention to oneself is more often manifested in children, women↑ and people with hysteroid traits.
The desire to attract attention is often the main motive for behavior. When this desire goes beyond reasonable limits, it becomes the cause of conflict behavior. This is sometimes called vanity.
On the other hand, attracting attention is the most important resource for success in life, especially relevant for the success of women and people with leadership tasks.
Forms of attracting attention
The most common forms of attracting attention are:
- Position of the Victim
- centropupism
- Talk about yourself
Start a topic about yourself, talk about your problems and “why everything doesn’t work out for me.”
The purpose of the child’s behavior is to attract attention
Her best friend came to visit my mother. They are sitting on the sofa in the living room. Four-year-old Billy runs into the room and stands behind the sofa. In a plaintive voice, he asks: “Mom, where is my plane?” See Reorienting the Attention Goal for details.
Position of the Victim as a form of attracting attention
The Victim position is a great way to get yourself some extra attention.
If I did everything right away, I just did everything, but I didn’t get any attention. And if I can talk for a long time about how difficult and terrible everything is because of my low self-esteem or my perfectionism (or other problems), then attention is guaranteed to me.
