exhibitionists

Crave audience attention

Exhibitionists are people who enjoy displaying themselves—their bodies, talents, or personalities—for attention.

The word often implies sexual exposure: someone who exposes their genitals in public is an exhibitionist in the clinical sense.

But the term extends to anyone who craves being watched: Social media is full of exhibitionists.

The singular is exhibitionist.
