Center of Attention Syndrome

Someone suffering from COAS is so pre-occupied with themselves and their issues that they have a hard time paying attention to anyone else. An extreme version of being self-centered narcissists, sufferers of COAS frequently don't know that they suffer from COAS, but they would love the idea that they suffered from an illness.
Yo! That girl totally suffers from COAS, Center of Attention Syndrome. She had no idea that my dog died because she was too focused on the drama with that bitch from her job. self-centered narcissist self-absorbed douchebag

attention-o-saurus 

A loud, overly dramatic, annoying, attention-whore that was destined to live life alone and never bare children. Thus, extincting their own gene-pool.
A-"Hey, you look tired today"
B-"Yeah, the 'attention-o-saurus' kept me up all night when she was yelling at some guy she just met because he doesn't love her."
A-"Thats ok. At least she will never have children."

Youtube Attention Span

Your normal attention span only significantly decreased due to Youtube. Whereas normally 10 minutes is a short amount of time, Youtube turns it into a cinematic experience.
Jill: Watch this video!
Jack: Okay.
Jack: wtf? 10 minutes? That's way over my Youtube Attention Span.
Jill: *cries*

musical attention defficit disorder

People with a musical attention defficit disorder have a tendency to switch every (or almost every) song they listen to midway through (if not before that).

Also abreviated to M.A.D.D.
I'd swear that John has a Musical Attention Defficit Disorder. When I was listening to his MP3 with him earlier, he couldn't stop song skipping! It drove me nuts!

Facebook Attention Whore 

Similar to a normal attention whore, but one who uses Facebook or other social media to satisfy their craving for attention.

Often posts statuses that they are upset, angry, or self-deprecating statuses in a desperate bid for pity comments and attention. However, such comments are usually only received by fellow attention whores.
Facebook attention whore 1's status: "OMG terrible day :( dont text phones off."

Facebook attention whore 2's comment: "Oh no :/ text me now!!!"

Everyone else: Shut up, no one cares.
