Trying to be the center of attraction in every situation

I try to grab others attention. Even if I am getting made fun of still I feel relieved that atleast I am getting attention. If I am not called then I feel I did something and they may feel I am troublesome. How to stop these thoughts? Sometimes I do random idiotic stuff just to get attention. I also realise this when I am alone but how to stop it?

You can try to affirm yourself that you don’t need validation and it’s your relationship with people that matters the respect you receive. You don’t need to be the one seeking attention. Try to be more observant in social settings

If I. Observant I feel people will think that I am such a lonely person who can't even mix up with others and has no friends.
