Attention

It's something that everybody craves... but why?

Attention: Concentration of the mental powers upon an object; a close or careful observing or listening.

I've never seen myself as a real 'clingy' type person, but I have recently noticed that I become quite upset if no one pays attention to me, or acknowledges my presence. For a few days a week I am surrounded by people, all day and sometimes night. Some of my close acquaintances may converse with during my lectures or on the bus, which are the moments I treasure. But I find on a regular basis, I am not noticed, which is mainly due to my introvert type personality. Some people do take the time to get to know me, some don't. Some don't include me in the conversation, some do.

Even though I am an introvert, I don't like being by myself for very long amounts of time. But when I do want attention, I only want it in small amounts, by only having a few people around me. Sometimes I don't mind being around a big group of people, but many times I have been in a bad mood and just wish that everyone could away. Then when they do, I find I am alone and I feel in even a more worse mood than I started off with.

Anyway, back to what I was originally going to say. I hate it when I am ignored or forgotten by people I love and love me back.
