Do you like it when people give you extra attention?

Like when people go out of their way to acknowledge you, or when you get your coffee in the morning and there is a line, but the counter person makes your coffee anyway before waiting on the other people, or you walk into the bank and four different people will say hello to you…a few examples at different levels.

When I need it when im upset of something other than that I hate being the center of attention.
its really nice once in a while
Who, moi? Oh, gosh, well… there are so many little people to thank.
It depends. I love extra attention from my spouse, and he gives it to me on a regular basis, doing little things for me that I could/should have done for myself. But I’m not a big fan of people publicly giving me attention, especially for superficial things. For example, I don’t like being publicly rewarded for work accomplishments that I was paid to do anyway. If you like my work, give me a raise or give me bigger projects, don’t publicly point out what I did that I was supposed to do anyway. I think it just alienates me from my peers if they don’t get the same attention, and I hate that.
As long as it’s not focused on my appearance, it’s fine. That gets old very quickly no matter how sincere the person is.
Yes very much so, I adore it!
I don’t really like attention. It makes me uncomfortable. But I DO appreciate it when people acknowledge that it’s my birthday, or when I’ve done something special….
not always,depends on the source.never from work.the higher up the ladder you go, the farter you fall when they start chopping the ladder down.
@spacemonkey Just farter in their faces on the way down!!! LOL!
Yes, as long as it’s positive attention and the person is sincere.
It depends. I have social anxiety, so I don’t like extra attention being called to me… I’d rather not be acknowledged at all (unless, of course, it’s by the person I need to be talking to, like the bank teller). But it’s nice when I’ve been taking my medicine, lol.
If it is genuine I generally don’t mind, if it is simply for the sake of it I find it patronising.
Oh yes, and a very “happy ending”
This only happens to me when someone hopes to part me from my money, but I still like it.
Please. Are you kidding? You don’t know me, do you?
Depends. If it’s based on my sex appeal, then fine. Otherwise… eh.
As you might guess, I don’t get much attention based on these criteria.
Uh huh Uh Huh Uh huh. Yeah! Who doesn’t?
It depend what kind of attention a person is giving and what is the motive behind it.
I usually like the low key thing and shy away from attracting anything or anyone.
Im not the center of attention kind of person….
