What is Attention Seeker?

I feel like this is misunderstood. Now, here me out. I'm sure we all know that one "attention seeker" in our lives, whether it be online or at school, or even in your own friend group. It may even be you who you think of when it comes to mind.

Let's look at this at the most basic and fundamental level - why do people attention seek? Well, to seek attention, of course. But why? Could it be because they don't get enough attention at home, or good attention? Could it be because they feel like no one cares about them, and so they do things to themselves to have a sense that someone cares? They aren't doing it to worry you, they're doing it to feel important.

Of course there are some exceptions to this, like causing drama amongst people or cause them to fight - they don't deserve sympathy, but if what they're doing affects them primarily, think twice before you judge so harshly. After all, they just want someone to care about them, is that really so bad?

Hi. In middle school, I used to be an attention seeker. I wasn't a bad person for that, I just felt like no one cared about me and I was getting ignored. I was yelled at and mistreated at home, and got called vilifying names. So at school I often did certain things for attention. I'm disgraced by this now, but I grew to realise what it meant. I wanted someone to care about me, to listen, to feel loved. Do you think I'm a bad person for that?

A lot of people do a lot of stupid things, but the main question to ask is why.

Attention Seeker - what is it?

Someone who likes to announce everything in their life on facebook to get people to feel sorry for them/react. Usually grossly exaggerated but can also be completely fictitious in order for people to respond as they don't have a life/friends.
The usual response if you ask them to stay out of your life is your a jealous bitch (and usually retards that can't spell) followed by some sort of tragic life story.
These kind of people like to constantly test their relationship/friendships to feel wanted.

Sane person: "can you please stop bitching about me and leave me alone?"
Attention seeker goes on facebook "OMG what a jelous bich! So bang out of order! Someone needs to sort her out..."
Sane person: wtf?

Attention seeker "I have just had it up the ass wid my sexy bf!"
Sane person "How classy dear"

Attention seeker "my bf wont lick my fanny! help"
Sane person: "Maybe you should sort your stinky hairy cunt out?"

Attention Seeker

A person who craves sympathy from multiple people by consistently drawing attention to ongoing personal problems is one way in which a person can be deemed seeking attention and is the most common kind. They can do this in person or on social networking sites to reach a wider audience. But attention seeking can come from getting looks from multiple people as a means to boost their ego, confidence and/or view of their place in society. This also improves standing in society and is considered to make them more popular. The common medium is the motorcar. Expensive, fast makes and models are perceived as the most effective at attracting the gaze and receiving positive feedback from people. So the social group most likely to indulge in parading themselves to get looks are people in the employment of high paying, top companies

I saw a man yesterday racing his Porsche down the street. He really was an arrogant attention seeker!
