Often times, retard is used as a slur. That's probably why you looked this up, but I thought it'd be funny to give an actual definition to it as well. So yeah, you learned something! It's not always a slur, sometimes it's used to mean something else, too. But under those contexts, it's best to use "slow" or "delay" as opposed to this word, due to the negative connotation this word holds bu default.

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.

\'män-stər\ n 1 : an abnormally developed plant or animal. 2 : an animal of strange or terrifying shape; also : one unusually large of its kind. 3 : an extremely ugly, wicked, or cruel person.
To usually mean make-believe and often magical creatures of unknown or known origin, like Slenderman or Bigfoot. When used to describe a person, however, it's much more demeaning. You're basically denying that person of having any resemblance of a human being - morals, emotions etc. It's not a nice thing. Some people are cold, but not all to their very core like some seem.

Like friendship where the feeling is mutual and reciprocated, but instead of being just each other's friends they simp for each other. This includes, but definitely not limited to: putting one on a pedestal as though they are the mere embodiment of perfection, constantly complimenting each other, always talking to each other, talking about the most boring stuff that you two still can't help but find interesting, whereas anyone else would've long been asleep if you had the same conversation with them, telling utterly pointless stories from your lives, telling secrets to them that you took a personal and seldom oath to yourself to never tell, etc.
If you feel that you have a relationship that is reminiscent of the aforementioned, you're made for each other. Ask them out.

Person 2: "Sounds like a simpship."

A commonly accepted definition for this is someone who does morally questionable things for the main sake of causing chaos or destruction. There are good trolls and bad ones. A good troll has properly calculated actions to cause as much disruption as possible. A bad troll is one who either takes it too far or simply relies solely on stereotypes, edginess, and slurs as trolling. What makes a troll even better is if there are layers to them - as in, not always insistent on being an asshole, and maintains the ability of being serious and nice, even. Not all good trolls have to fit this criteria, though.
