Cope with Not Getting Enough Attention in Your Environment

Do you ever feel like you could stand in one place for ages and no-one would notice you? Ever feel like if you left there would be no big deal? Or is it just people know you but just prefer someone else? Not getting attention is hard to deal with but is easy to 'cure' and cope with.This is the guide to getting that bit more attention you feel YOU need.

In School

 * 1) Observe how the different groups act and what they talk about. Normally people tend to chose their friends without even knowing and then they come to form little groups which have their places in the playground/school. Do this from a reasonable distance otherwise you will look creepy.
 * 2) Think about what you would do. At this point you need to decide about what you would talk about and how you would act and then compare it to the 'gangs.' If one group seems to talk and act how you would/want to then they are probably the group for you. You should not have to change to fit in.
 * 3) Get into the group and make friends. You should 'target an individual who you feel is most approachable from the group. Try talking to them in class or when you walk by but don't be desperate and immediately ask to be friends.
 * 4) Just keep on chatting and waiting. As the two/three of you become to know and understand each other a more (this could take weeks/months) you will also come to know the rest of the group. Just socialize. If you dont know what to say let someone else start the conversation.
 * 5) Know these people a more, 'come out of your shell' and show them your unique. Once you have done this people will know you for who you are and give you the attention you deserve because you specialise in being smart/crazy/hilarious etc. Don't worry its easier than it sound. Eventually you wont remember how you came to get the attention.

For the Rest of Life

 * 1) Decide on what you want- Do you want all the attention? Do you want to be left alone and have the few but close friends which will give you all the attention you need?
 * 2) Be yourself. If you are starting again, so is everyone else so this time people will come to you making it easier for you to approach others. You want to be able to form the right group of friends to get the right get the right type of attention. If you are now older, still show your personality. It's what people look for without even realising.
 * 3) Make the people around you closer (not literally)- When people know you well they feel like you know them well to turn to you when they need you just the same as what you should do. This means you have got the attention you need, or what about every normal person gets, because you ain't gonna be Beyond.

Fighting with the Problem

 * 1) Remember that everyone has flaws, this is just one of yours
 * 2) Remember everyone has their bad moments in life but then life gets better and so do you
 * 3) Remember attention isn't everything, being yourself is.
 * 4) Little attention can also be useful. You can play pranks or mess about and people would excuse you. Remember there is ALWAYS someone who will love you.

Tips

 * Remember- it won't last forever

Warnings

 * Know what you are getting yourself into
