Is You Ego That Pathetic?

It seems like in recent times that I have noticed a few things about the people around me, and they have started to bug me a little. Perhaps it's always been there, and that I've not cared as much, or that I didn't let it bother me.

Who or what really has changed? I'm not exactly sure.

What I have noticed, however, is this strange need to be recognised and acknowledged. Of course everyone wants a little recognition for their work, but to the point where you seem to want to make sure that you get recognised for your efforts, then it's more on the lines of vanity.

So it's fine if you want to get in on the action, be within frame in the background when the camera focuses on the presenters in the front, toot your own horn once in a while.

However, to continuously insist that someone ensures that your name is mentioned, that your effort for that day was pointed out, despite knowing that the conversation is probably interrupting more important matters, is asking a little too much is it not?

Perhaps you feel intimidated by someone else? Shouldn't that be a cue to step up your game then?
