Eveyone needs to hear about it

Attention

I am sure I am not the only one who enjoys de-elevating an attention seeker rather than just ignoring them. Sometimes though, the attention seekers need some attention, and we decide to give them a bit. It is an illness in itself that needs addressing.

Whenever an opportunity to dance with someone came about, I would hold out a hand to offer someone the chance to join in. Never grabbing, always offering, sometimes being declined, often taken up. It then struck me that as I invite someone to dance with me whether there is an aim of getting the attention of the individual as well as the attention of all the onlookers. Were we in isolation in an empty field it wouldn’t make any difference is my claim. To have people watching puts a lot of people off, but for an attention seeker that is not the case. One reason we might give is that by interacting with strangers in this way it starts a chain of others following suit and building a great atmosphere. Everyone is taking one another by the hand and once the event is over there is no follow up, we just say toodleypips and never see one another again. Wanting a connection is hard to criticize. I want them to leave wanting more, nobody else needs to know about it. The time the place the opportunity.
