Needy Attention Whores

Someone referred to Wade as a "needy attention whore" on Wade's "What's wrong with me?" thread, and it got me thinking that there's a little bit of that in all of us. Yes, we say that we're here for entertainment, and for most of us that's true for the most part. But I can't help but think that perhaps there's also a need for validation. Even the insulting, vulgar, and self-righteous posts seem to have an undercurrent of wanting to be right and to be valued for being right.
I know that there's a part of me that likes being liked by other people, and I think that shows in my posts. I'm not proud of that neediness, but there it is.

Ditto. I'm not proud of your neediness either...
(Kidding... maybe).
Seriously, I'm pretty sure I’m the same way.
From now on, we need to send each other a PM every day saying “I like you (in a purely manly football kind-a-way).” Yeah, that’s the ticket…

Of course, you're right.
I think the same thing about the people who bear their testimony on fast sundays (especially the ones who do it every month).

I like you, John!
And I'll tell you every day if you want to hear it.
I'll even blow you a kiss right now! Give it a minute to arrive in Utah...
*Mmmwwwaa!*

Well, I like how that film 'Forrest Gump' put it...
..."Needy Attention Whore is as Needy Attention Whore does..."
...oh no wait. Was it: "A Needy Attention Whore is like a box of choc..."
Na - that wasn't it.
"RUN Needy Attention Whore - RUN...!"?
Bah - can't think of it now... It was something like that...

Runtu, you'll always be my favorite attention whore. ;) (Don't tell Bond.)
*cyber hugs from NC*
Seriously, you are absolutely right. I think that is the real "draw" to message boards like this one, whether we want to admit it or not.
LOL

To prove I am not a needy attention whore I want everyone to ignore everything I say from here on out.
