Everyone wants to be recognized by others. Therefore all of us need some attention from others---nobody likes to feel that s/he is invisible.

However I will freely admit that people who seem to ALWAYS want to be the center of attention bother me. I generally find them to be either a) TOO needy or b) drama queens/narcissists etc. Very needy people are unnerving to me--they tend to be very dependent and want someone to solve their problems. Those who want to be the center of attention are just flat annoying---the "look at me, look at me" narcissistic stuff is very off-putting.
