look at me
Bid for notice
Look at me is a demand for attention, spoken to redirect someone's gaze or focus.
Parents use it with children to establish eye contact before delivering instructions or reprimands: Look at me when I'm talking to you.
Beyond its literal sense, the phrase describes attention-seeking behavior or self-promotion: Her whole personality is very look-at-me.
As an attributive adjective, it characterizes things designed to attract notice: a look-at-me outfit, look-at-me posts on social media.
