Do you?

I do, and quite a lot! But I never stopped and questioned myself if it was 'normal' or not.

Yeah me too, though when it actually happens I get so uncomfortable I kind of just want to hide my face and run out of there ^^()

Wow what an intresting post. I ve had this fantasy all my life but I could never figure it out cause it is so contradictory to my social anxiety.

Maybe we actually do want some kind of attention & the feeling of being cared about that comes with it, but at the same are afraid of the social responsibilities? ^^() Dunno, I've been analyzing these things for a while =P

Yeah, I think you're right! Social anxiety might restrain us in our lives but it doesn't keep us from feeling these kind of emotions

But still, I sometimes find myself overly euphoric when imagining scenarios where I'm the center of the attention, and pretty much the 'life of the party'. It's like it's all about ME and people thinking I'm awesome/praising me/etc.

Even when I was back at school I always drew attention toward myself by making jokes and such, I couldn't just sit there and be quite.

Sometimes I daydream about being the centre of attention. In reality I think it would suck though, all these people clinging on to me, when all I want to do is relax and have a good time.

I do this, but I don't always imagine that I've got the attention of a whole group of people...just one or two people (not people in my real life, just people I have to invent). Does that count?

well that's not BIG so don't worry :). Everyone wants attention to some level, you're not an attention whore just cause you want people to take an interest into you. That's just being human

Yes occasionally, but its usually only in regards to being popular and the center of attention towards the opposite sex.

Yeah I dream of it sometimes as well. It's kind of ironic, because if we were the center of attention, I'm certian I'd hate it... it makes me wonder why we want something even though we know we'd hate it when we have it...

are these just dreams of being more accepted socially?
 
You have no idea how badly I wanna be rock star, on a huge stage with a huge audience, just there for me, laughing at everything I say, and enjoying everything I do. I also wanted to be a director, actor, comedian, with tons of fans. I've even gone through in my head, someone interviewing me, and answers I'd give to different questions. I must sound crazy typing this, haha.

I just don't have the motivation to get real deep into any of those though. :?

I do not want to be the center of attention. I just want a little above average social skills in order to get respect from people. You are not respected in society if you are shy, quiet, and tend to isolate yourselves from others. To them, it's a sign of weakness and lack of intelligence. I just want to prove to myself that I am capable of doing what I am not usually used to doing.
 
I voted sometimes

So you want to be a rock and roll star?
Then listen now to what I say.
Just get an electric guitar
Then take some time
And learn how to play.
And with your hair swung right,
And your pants too tight
It's gonna be all right.
Then it's time to go downtown
Where the agent man won't let you down.
Sell your soul to the company
Who are waiting there to sell plastic ware.
And in a week or two
If you make the charts
The girls'll tear you apart.
The price you paid for your riches and fame,
Was it all a strange game?
You're a little insane.
The money, the fame, and the public acclaim,
Don't forget who you are,
You're a rock and roll star

Strangely..no. I never want to be center of attention. I'd rather be the one giving the attention to the person heh.
