Irritable behaviour

We have a 7 month old daughter. We are facing a problem of she showing very irritating behaviour. Every moment she wants something new and gets bored with things. And when she gets bored, she starts crying and shouts.

Whenever anyone news comes in the house and tries to meet her..most of the times she starts crying. And when she cries, she does it in manner that her sound goes away for a moment as if she is not able to breath and creates panic for us. But the sounds returns after 5-6 seconds.

We are not able to take her outside to any family gathering..since she doesn't stay at a place for more than 30 minutes and starts irritating. She wants attention for every second. And also by the seeing the new faces outside, she starts crying.

The good part is that since her birth we have seen her more active than any other child of her age around. She is very active and does fixation just like a grown up. Also laughs similar to a grown up.

But her irritating behaviour is just not easy to handle. And we fear taking her outside. Somebody has to be there around her to avoid her from crying.

Please help how can we manage this

You know what's irritating... this post!!!
I don't know what's worse here, you complaining about your daughter's "irritating" behavior or the person who so brilliantly suggested you turn on the radio and ignore her.
She's 7 MONTHS old for God's sake!  Babies, and by the way she IS A BABY, have  VERY SHORT attention spans.  And I have news for you, it'll get worse before it gets better.
Take into consideration what the previous poster said and go to some parenting classes or talk to her pedicatrician PLEASE.
YOU Are supposed to play WITH her, show her things, keep her entertained, help her learn about the world around her.  
Parenting is more than just feedings and diaper changes.

You have a seven month old baby who cries.  What is wierd about that?  Don't let her get bored.  She doesn't have an attention span for things.  Keep her active, read to her, play with her, teach her things.  Many babies aren't fond of new people, but as long as a parent is near she will realize she is fine.  Crying is her only way of communication with you.  She can't say that she is hungry now and peas sound good. She cries and hopes you figure it out.  As parents we aren't supposed to be irritated, we are supposed to take care of our children so they don't cry all day.  Parenting classes may help a lot.  Is there a parent/child play group you could sign up for?
