Somebody being emo is somebody who is overly emotional and melodramatic about situations that don't really warrant that, especially everyday life situations. These people tend to thrive on negative attention, and the phrase "misery loves company" really fits them to a 'T'. They may take an interest in your life or problems, but they
will overly exaggerate your problems as
well as an attempt to get you to commiserate with them on how miserable you have it also (when really it's not as bad as all that), just because they get high on misery. Misery and negative attention and melodrama is like a drug to emo people and they will do
anything to
get it. Often, talking to them can seem like they are parasitic. They may talk to you about your problems, but it
feels like they are more interested in hyping your problems up, for them to get their "
fix" of their melodrama drug, than they are truly interested in understanding your situation. These people
will often make extreme statements, commonly about how depressed they are, and how they just don't know if they want to go on living, all over very
silly situations and circumstances.
