Is it normal to like attention?
Yep.Totally normal
Yes, it’s normal to enjoy attention. Most people like feeling noticed and appreciated now and then.
Attention can feel good because it tells you people see you, enjoy your company, or value what you have to say. That doesn’t automatically make you vain or needy; people differ in how much they enjoy being in the spotlight, and lots of people like a little recognition.
It’s only worth reflecting on if you feel you have to get attention at any cost, or if the need for it is making you miserable or straining relationships. Otherwise, enjoying being noticed is just a very human thing.
