What do you think about attention-seeking threads?
In my opinion, PerC is pretty tame compared to other forums, and especially in this subforum (INTP), in that most users tend to post threads with genuine interest and for the want of understanding (or we have pretty good admin - good job!). But in one or two other forums, a majority of threads seem to be started purely for attention-seeking and impact rather than actual discussion, considering the premise that forums are mainly for discussion.
One attention-seeking behavior I have witnessed (in another forum) include posting threads in the most popular section of the forum instead of starting them in more appropriate, less popular subforums. I think this counts as attention-seeking.
Wait... is this just another attention-seeking thread?
For the sake of discussion, I will not delete this and proceed to click "Submit New Thread".
The most I think about it is that people are so much more transparent than they probably think they are. I guess it doesn't bother me much unless it infringes on my own space (like if someone were to post a bunch of weird stuff in the INFP forum).
For sure. :wink: I'm not pointing any fingers here, but there is an ENFP girl who is always posting thread after thread in the Sex & Relationships section to get attention from random horny internet perverts! :laughing:
Well I'm gonna explain the side of attention seeking thread.
Okay, as for my threads (which i don't really give a fuck where i should fucking post it) is obviously seemingly attention seeking based on the criteria you put on your basis of seeking attention thread.
*posting in the main forum rather than sub forum*
Well, before, i was actually posting on subforums! But some people on the sub forum, posted complaints and i got warnings that i shouldn't post there.
So i just post on the general forum or main forum. Just because i don't know what my thread category falls into. And i offend the sensitive personality types by posting on their subforums. XD
The thing about you is you give an aura of unaggressive cute puppy, so your attention-seeking is not as apparent as one might think. I almost wanted to say you have to try harder because I hardly notice you now lol.
And when your house is clean and organized to your liking, when there isn't another dish to be washed and put away, when every room is dust free and decorated to reflect your taste and the grounds couldn't be trimmed any further to heighten your satisfaction...What then? Watch a little reality television? Read yet another book? Play solitaire till dawn? Unmake and remake the bed for the fun of it? No, it's party time...complete with appreciative guests, playful banter and mind metaphors. Wine and song. I left a can of Febreeze out on the cistern.
Exactly this. Lately I've gotten bored and come here to shit post. but not only shit post, I sometimes want actual discussions too, it just depends. What I don't understand is the amount of people that take my threads seriously when they're obviously not (like the entp appreciation thread) most people didn't I think but then like 2-3 were like omg why would you do this? XD
Well, personality, I secretly desire attention, but only for things I want.
For example, imagine yourself in a stage, playing something you wanted to do maybe for a long time.
You want to sing, or maybe act, perhaps doing a perfomance, I don't know.
And then, the music starts, you do what you do and is great. People like it and clap at your
act. You are the star, or at least someone very important in the whole thing.
You feel yourself great. And of course (as long as you don't get drunk with attention)
you may like to boast about it. That's an example of attention seek I want.
When it comes to things I don't like and I didn't choosed to do, then attention is
something I outright don't want. Why would I? I didn't liked it, no matter how good
was.
Interesting enough, attention seeking is not preciselly something I actively discourage. What I find more important is HOW do you want to get attention. Humiliating yourself throught internet, for example, is something I don't like to do just to get attention. If I want attention, I want to get it throught charming yet smart entertaining activities.
This is an older thread, you may not receive a response, and could be reviving an old thread. Please consider creating a new thread.
