#Center of Attention

[pratchettquotes]

"Well now, my dear, didn't you once say that a life without danger is a life not worth living?"

Moist patted her hand and said, "Well, Spike, I married you, didn't I?"

"You couldn't resist, could you? It's like a drug. You're not happy unless someone is trying to kill you, or you're in the center of some other kind of drama, out of which, of course, the famous Moist von Lipwig will jump to safety at the very last moment. Is it a disease? Some kind of syndrome?"

Moist put on his meek face as only husbands and puppies can do and said, "Would you like me to stop? I will if you say so."

There was silence until Adora Belle said, "You bastard, you know I can't do that. If you stopped all of that you wouldn't be Moist von Lipwig!"

Yesterday I did my eye makeup for the first time for work and straightened my hair.

Everyone stopped to tell me I looked beautiful! :') I don't know why this makes me as happy as it does. But yeah, don't worry my brain it's already convincing me they did it out of pity. Dontcha worry I cannot afford to be cocky for way too long.

[Today]

Me: -literally just breathes and arranges the books-

My colleagues: "You literally look like a fictional character, like the FL who loves to go to libraries"

...

There were a lot more but I loved this compliment the most today.

...

I have been praised and given a lot of center attention—being called "Princess👑", "The female lead🌹", "Straight out a book character📖✨"... To being put in center for photos and them posing my favorite pose(truly wholesome)... Simply, just by existing and being my highest and most confident self.

Lucky Girl Syndrome? It Girl Effect? The Universe showering me with my manifestations? Spells? Knowing the specific honesty doesn't really matter (to me that is). As long as I receive what I deserve and no less💅💎✨

hey, can you find this fic for me?

it was a foursome, three girls and jungkook’s. one was the reader, the other two were her friends. she was the one to suggest the foursome because he deserved it. they were supposed to spend time together but her friends were over so they couldn’t so to make it upto him, the reader asked the girls if they would have a foursome and then at first he’s kinda subby and towards the end more dominant. i’m sorry if this isn’t enough. the reader and jungkook are in an established relationship.

Chapter 2: Stage and Dreams

Narrated by Nikki.

Narrator: When I was in school, the teacher used to ask me what’s my dream. [Your Name], what would you say?

Choose either “I’m not ready yet” or “I got a lot of dreams.”

If “ready,” ...

You: You caught me unprepared. I don’t know.

Narrator: Yeah, it’s a serious question.

If “dreams,” ...

You: I have many dreams. Not sure which one you want to hear about.

Narrator: I thought I was only greedy, having so many dreams.

--

Narrator: Since childhood, I always said my dream was to be a designer. That never changed.

Narrator: But on top of that, there are many things I want to do.

Choose either “Travel around the world?” or “Such as...?”

If “travel,” ...

You: Let me guess. Travel around the world?

Narrator: Right. One of them. But this one... surprisingly has already come true?

If “such as,” ...

You: Many things... for example?

Narrator: To name one at random... a cartoonist, or illustrator. Sometimes I want to cut my hair short, or have a romantic relationship...

Choose “??!!”

You: Really??!!

Narrator: I mean, IF EVER, not right now.

--

Narrator: And I want to be on the stage. I always wonder how it feels to stand in the spotlight...

Choose either “You seem to yearn for the stage, Nikki” or “Why do you yearn for the stage?”

If “seem to,” ...

You: You must be serious about being on the stage, Nikki. Your eyes have a different shine to them.

Narrator: I can’t help but be excited every time I talk about it.

If “why,” ...

You: Your eyes have a different kind of shine now. Why do you want the spotlight, Nikki?

Narrator: You’d understand, too, if you have ever seen a truly splendid stage performance.

--

Narrator: To me, the stage is a special place.

Narrator: My mom designed a costume, with diamonds set in feathers. It looked gorgeous on a mannequin.

Narrator: But once worn on the stage, under the spotlight, it shone beyond my wildest imagination.

Narrator: As it if were a living thing with a soul, soaring on those feathers, with dreamy diamonds sparkling on its back.

Choose “Who?”

You: Worn by whom?

Narrator: By a cute opera singer. She used to visit my mom’s studio often.

Young Miss: Come here, Nikki! Here’s a bunny doll for you.

Nikki: Cute, and plush! Thank you!

Narrator: She’s got a gentle smile. Always bringing me gifts, like plush toys and lollipops.

Narrator: She’s shy and polite, especially when Mom was designing costumes for her.

Mom: You’re early today.

Young Miss: Sorry for the trouble.

Mom: No such thing. Come, try this on. I got some new ideas last night. You will look gorgeous in it.

Young Miss: I... really? Thank you.

Narrator: Introverted as she was, she showed me the magic of the stage for the first time ever.

Narrator: Under the gaze of everyone, her dance was so sexy and flaunting. That confident smile was the opposite of her normal self.

Choose either “Even Nikki shines like a different person on stage!” or “You never tried to get on the stage before, Nikki?”

If “different,” ...

You: You’ll be like that on the stage, too, Nikki!

Narrator: Me? No way.

If “never,” ...

You: What? Have you never been on the stage yourself?

Narrator: I have, but...

--

Narrator: I’ll definitely freeze, being the center of attention.

Narrator: I gave a public speech in middle school. I prepared thoroughly for it, in case of stage fright. Everything had to be perfect.

Narrator: I knew it was wrong to be so compulsive. But easier said than done.

Narrator: So, a designer behind the scenes fits me better.

Narrator: Everyone has his or her strengths and weaknesses, right?

Choose either “Even things you’re not good at are worth a try” or “It’s good to focus on things you’re good at.”

If “worth,” ...

You: Even a weakness is worth having, no?

Narrator: Probably yes, but I may not have the courage to step onto the stage.

If “focus,” ...

You: Don’t push yourself too hard. There’s nothing wrong with focusing on your strengths.

Narrator: Yeah. Keep the stage a distant dream. Better that way.

--

Narrator: But occasionally, when I see others performing, I always wonder how it would feel if I were up there.

To the CoA kids... was this a one time thing, or are you now open to something more casual?

CoA Peeps: Hi!

CoA Y/N: Um? I don't know, we haven't really brought up wanting to go for it again since then.

Maya: I mean, I wouldn't mind...

Ji-eun: Neither would I...

CoA Y/N: Same...

CoA Girls: *look at Jungkook*

CoA Jungkook: ...oh boy. Would I get in trouble if I said yes?

CoA Y/N: *giggles* No baby, you wouldn't.

CoA Jungkook: *shrugs* Then why not? I can handle them all with no problem! *gives a bunny smile*

Some Attention Seeking Behaviors Of Narcissists

When I was growing up, my mother was constantly singing.  At the time, it irritated me badly but I couldn’t put my finger on why it bothered me so much.  It wasn’t until recently that I stumbled upon the realization that her incessant singing was a means of keeping attention firmly fixed on her.  Today, we will discuss narcissistic attention seeking behaviors, tactics narcissists employ to ensure…
