Crazy Things People Do To Get Attention

By Anvi Mehta

There are three types of people in this world; one who do not need attention, second who need attention and manage to get it all with no extra efforts and third who need attention but are never given enough. So, the third category of people who do not get their attention cravings fulfilled need to put in a little extra effort to do so.

They sometimes cross limits in order to grab attention and let people know they exist. This category of people is generally called attention seekers.

Attention seekers have just one purpose in life - that is to grab interest and get noticed. They end up doing the craziest things to make the rest of the world to concentrate on them. To some extent attention seekers do get their aim achieved by doing weird and crazy things. It does make them noticed and people do talk about them. But that results into more stunts from these attention seekers in future.

Crazy Things People Do To Get Attention

Though there might be many crazy things people do to grab attention, I would like to mention just a few of them.

1.The "Wanna be" Criminals - A small crime like pick pocketing, driving rash or shop lifting is one crazy way to seek attention. Sometimes, people who want to get noticed do crazy things like break in at a neighbor's house; they do not steal anything yet manage to get all the concentration from family and friends. These small crazy crimes are common in the "things to do" list of an attention seeker.

2.The "Fashion Disasters" - I am sure each one of us must have seen people wearing clothes that would give a heart attack to fashion freaks. Wearing a Diwali light decorated cap and riding a stud is one such crazy thing people have done to grab attention. Other such crazy fashion disasters include wearing Halloween outfits on normal days, missing essential clothes like a pair of jeans or just mismatch a red bottom with a yellow top.

3.The "Sympathy Trick" - There are some attention seekers who would even cause harm to themselves. There are crazy things people have done to grab attention and sympathy of others like getting a wound on their hands, suicidal attempts, etc. Some attention seekers have gone to the extent of spreading rumors of themselves, making a dirty clip and rotating it or get themselves attached to somebody always in the limelight.

4.The "Hate and Love" display - Some attention seekers start crazy arguments or fights with anybody and for any reason on the streets, shops and other public places where people would notice them. They behave weird and psychotic for people to look at them. Similarly, some attention seeking couples generally tend to show the "Public Display of Affection". They cuddle and kiss in public places just for people to notice them. It has been observed that attention seeking people tend to show public display of affection especially if their partner is a well known and famous personality in the society they live. The craving of wanting to be known and followed by all can make a person go to any limit of crazy.

5.The "Nudity" - The most crazy and insane thing a person can do to grab attention is use their skin. Most struggling actors and actresses were known to go nude for photo shoots, awareness campaigns and other related projects. Nowadays, the normal crowd has also adopted this method. Many girls flaunt their skin just to grab attention.
