Jesus is God, and the scriptures say that God seeks worship and does all to His own glory. I don't know what this has to do with the specific incidents you report from Jesus' life, and your phrasing is certainly demeaning, but the gist of it is correct.

Re: Jesus: The Life of the party!
If the most important commandment is to Love God with all our hearts, souls, minds, and strengths is applicable, it would appear that God craves our attention. This, however, would make no logical sense if God is by definition complete, needing nothing. Why would God command us to love Him?
God doesn't have to NEED to be loved in order to desire it. He loves and desires love from abundance and generosity, not need. And considering the great pleasure we get from loving Him, it can hardly be called a selfish desire.
