attention seekers
Those craving notice
Attention seekers are people who behave in ways designed to draw notice to themselves, often through dramatic, disruptive, or exaggerated actions.
The term is almost always pejorative, implying that the person's need for recognition is excessive or inappropriate.

Children may be called attention seekers when they act out, though the label is more commonly applied to adults whose behavior seems immature or manipulative.
