Definition: Attention is a condition which gets manifested by others' comments and appreciation on oneself.
Characteristics: Attention is indirectly proportional to itself. To elaborate, more you give attention to others, less you get attention fom them. Lesser you give attention to others, more you get attention from them.
Types of attention seekers:
1) The "am all over" types; These people are conspicuous and make their presence so felt that people get used to seeing them and having them around.Even if they are very talented and competent, people take them for granted for their over- exposure. These people have no aura as they are at the beck and call of everyone and are willing to do things and help others at the drop of a hat. These are the poeple who get very little attention .
2) The good looking ones; These people get attention from everybody, at least initially. Because of their good looks they catch everyone's eye but in many cases the attention is shortlived when people see their true selves. These kind of people are so used to attention that they seek it constantly and try very hard to remain in attention but often go overboard.
3) The 'pseudo low profile types: These people maintain a low profile just to create an aura and mystery around them so that people wonder about them and seek them. Many a times such people are successful in getting attention but being pseudo attention seekers, they dont last too long in the minds of others and soon people get bored of their pretentious low profile or forget about them as they are not interesting enough to be missed.
Who gets attention:
1) People who keep a low profile, throughout and talk less and flash less. Society wonders about such people and try very hard to find out what is the person upto. There is alsways a general curiosity about them.
2) People who do not pry into other people's business: People are generally eager to connect to such people and give them information about themselves as they make a difference by falling into the rare slot of people who havent asked them curious questions.
3) People who keep low profiles on social networks.
4) People who generally talk less.
3) People who either dress very weirdly or very well.

Talking of low profiles on Social Network sites,my freind called me two days after my birthday and apologised for not wishing the same day. Not that I care. However, his voluntary excuse was that he had wished on Facebook. This is the peril of social networking sites. People stop calling, meeting. Looks like I am an outcast.
