What do you think of folks that need to show off ..seek center stage all the time?

I sort of think that they've either got this huge ego (that they feel superior than every one else around them -- and want every one to know it!) or they've got issues about self-validation, like they want to hear people say that they're great or they're so cool about doing whatever. Either way, it does take guts to show off... I often consider the benefit of doubt in why I think they're showing off rather than how they're doing it, I guess. Unless it becomes annoying, that is. In that case, I'd throw that "benefit of the doubt" thing out the door and roll my eyes and look at my other friends with that "Oh, my goodness" look and we'd all laugh about it later on! LOL

Well when you put it all that way..that is too funny..and I probably would be there righ beside you laughing and rolling my eyes. I put up with the show off..but when the show off can't come to less noticeable or popular functions that need their talent.I really can't stand it.

It's okay to be proud but when it goes overboard it can be quite irritating, I do my best not to draw too much attention because I'm scared of being embarrassed ... but it does build self confidence sometimes

I think though, showing off..after a while gets old..and those who like to be seen only when there is a grand applause are easily found out..sooner or later.

Perhaps they are the most successful..but "what profit does a man gain if in the process he/she loses his/her own soul?"

Whatever makes them happy.. I mean, if people didn't do that, we'd have no entertainment. I personally don't care if they do show off, I think it's kind of funny sometimes.

I really don't think show offs are funny..especially those that don't offer their talent in the more unpopular times and events.. I pray for such people
