Don't be shy about wanting attention. Normally, you're happy to work behind the scenes. When you achieve something extraordinary, you want to be recognised. There's nothing wrong with that. Instead of spending time with inattentive people, surround yourself with appreciative friends. Resist the temptation to brush off their praise. Learning how to accept positive feedback will be good for your ego. Instead of feeling like you're working in obscurity, you'll take pride in having your contributions celebrated.
