7 Interesting ways to gain attention

It is not new that a lot of people enjoy being shown attention, as a matter of fact even if you think you don't there is a part of you that brightens up and feels appreciated when people regard you.
So, in essence, everybody loves attention. However, not everybody gets it.
You could buy attention if you have the finance or the influence, but buying attention is different from gaining it. In this article, I have highlighted seven fun ways, anyone, even a nerd can gain attention. Read on.
Be weird

Weird is the new cool, and there is something fascinating about being uniquely different from other people. Gone are the days when weird people have to hide or pretend they do not exist, now they are the real deal.
Being weird helps you appear real and original, there is a bit of weirdness in everyone. We all have something that makes us unique it could be the way we talk, walk, eat and so on but a lot of us are afraid to be real...
Being weird makes you an inspiration to others, showing that one can be one's self no matter how awkward or different it seems. Most times weird people appear to be cool, creating new norms for others to follow.
You will gain attention for being weird because people will remember you for being weird.

Be ruthless
You will probably think something is wrong with me for adding this.Nothing is wrong, being ruthless is more beneficial than you think. Being ruthless does not necessarily mean that you are wicked or merciless as it implies. It means that you do not take chances or allow sentiments, you are highly determined to achieve whatever you set out to do, and you are not afraid to dare or do what it takes to succeed. It merely means you are ready to dare...who wouldn't notice such a person?

Be good at what you do
We do not need to be told this...apart from the fact that being great at what you do gets you noticed; it paves the way for great success. Being skilled and adept at whatever you do gets you noticed wherever you go.

Be helpful
When I was in the university, I realised students who tutor others become easily noticed even by lecturers. They become the first to know about opportunities. My point is, even if you are not loved by people, they will still seek for you if they are certain you will help them. Being helpful is one of the sure ways to get noticed.

Be fun and friendly
Some people don't know what it means to be fun or what it means to be friendly even. Stalking people or trying to become friends by force can make you lose potential friends. Do not try to force friendship; it has never worked for anyone. Have ideas for fun and how to have fun and be such a person that people will find it easy to relate to you, no matter how firm or competitive you are.

Be informed
It is attractive to know things. Everyone wants to stick around people who know things, ignorance has never been alluring, and it will never be. Nowadays even men looking for cheap women appreciate women that are up to date on information and happenings around the world. You do not have any excuse, learn something new daily.

Be attracted to yourself
People will only treat you half as much as you treat yourself. Does that make sense? You will hardly find people who treat you as good as you treat yourself, and if you find someone who treats you better than you treat yourself, pls marry the person.
On the long run, it may not necessarily matter if you gain the attention you want or not, you will realise you have done all these things for yourself and no matter what anybody does, what you have inside of you, what you have become cannot be taken away from you.
