Talking for the sake of being heard is about the dumbest thing I've read. People get noticed in [i]many[/i] other ways then just speaking jay. When Einstien came up with general relativity, did he gain attention in the manner in which he spoke, or [i]what exactly he was talking about[/i]. That's the damn difference, if you have something important to say, say it and people will listen to you. When attention whores fish for compliments, and speak [i]nonsense[/i] for the sake of being heard, it is pathetic and [i]should[/i] be looked down upon. It is literally spam flooding our perception from important, smart, and well respected people who have something of actual value when they talk. Like students gossiping while the Calculus teacher is teaching. It is sensible when a baby literally always is trying to keep your attention because they'd die without the care of others. It IS life or death for them. But when they aren't little kids, it is literally just a childish attempt at being noticed. Now you must wonder how the hell I get noticed lol. I got noticed through my [i]actions[/i]. And by actions, I mean raising $500,000 for my school so it could have decent computers, Getting medals at my Martial Arts tournaments, getting trophies for robotics, and maxing out at the gym (do you even lift?). These acomplishments have given me A TON of attention. But I only ever bring them up when people ask or if I'm getting interviewed for a job. I'm NOT an attention whore by any means with my accomplishments, because I don't want people to be my friends JUST because of them. So please don't tell me attention whores should not be looked down upon. They want attention by doing next to nothing, they do NOTHING productive by reaching out to the world. That's the word: productive. If you aren't doing anything productive other than just gaining attention when you attempt to reach out to the world, you're wasting the calories my body has to use to percieve it.
