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.

females on message boards and chats usually visited by guys(gaming, skating, heavy metal) who make a big deal of being female. they will post pictures and links to pictures of themselves scantily clad so the guys will tell them how hot they are. and they will.

Get the attention whore mug.
Usually a very annoying little bitch who is extremely flirtatious, obsessed with herself, thinks shes the cutest, and thinks she deserves all of your attention. This kind of bitch usually goes through guy after guy by flirting with them and then dumping them.
Her spoiled brat attention seeking behavior may come from a rich daddy who constantly gives her way too much attention, gifts and treats her like a princess.
The attention whore will do anything to get attention from you. She is like a vampire who sucks attention and energy from you because it makes her feel good about herself. The only way to kill this parasite is by not feeding it attention.
Signs of an attention whore
1. Is a rich bitch.
2. Pampered by daddy and treated like a princess.
3. Constantly flirts with you not because shes genuinely interested in you, but because she wants your attention.
4. dresses and acts like a slut.
5. Is a drama queen.
6. Is a tease.
7. Is completely oblivious to the fact that shes an attention whore because she is stupid.


This girl has hundreds of pictures of herself on her myspace. She thinks shes so pretty, but shes not.
Shes just an attention whore.

A person on Facebook who posts statuses/pictures in order to get shares or likes. Like with other types of attention whores, it is best to just ignore these people, as they are usually just desperate for recognition. Also known as a tryhard.

Get the Attention Whore mug.
Someone who gets off on people giving them attention, more so than any kind of sexual activity. The basis for many attention whores.

This orientation is especially common among teenage girls, many of whom will grow out of it once they realize girls who don't play games and actually follow through are getting more action.
Goddammit. You're another attention-sexual.
