showoff
Loves the spotlight
A showoff is someone who performs or behaves in ways designed to attract attention and admiration: Don't be such a showoff.
The term carries mild disapproval—showoffs want others to notice their skills, possessions, or accomplishments.
As a verb, show off means to display ostentatiously: He loves to show off his new car.
