A disorder in which somebody makes up or exaggerates a mental illness for attention. Someone likely has this condition if they are constantly making posts on social media about their insurmountable struggles dealing with (e.g. anxiety, depression) and seem to always have the need to remind others about how sick or damaged they are. These people also typically make vague posts of their dire distress in order to obtain sympathy and bait people into talking to them about it. It is common for these individuals to use their illness as an excuse for their behavior, esp. when treating others poorly yet expects those same people feel sorry for them. Those affected by ASCD typically make little or no effort to get better from their supposed illness because they are more interested in getting attention than improving their quality of life. The demographic most affected by this ailment are adolescent females who spend too much time on their phones utilizing social media.

attention deficit disorder

Acronym form: ADD.
A much-debated psychological disorder characterized by a constant need to switch activities and/or hyperactivity.

Contrary to popular belief, ADD is a real disorder, and there are people who actually benefit from ritalin. Unfortunately, a lot of normal people with short attention spans claim to have ADD in order to attract sympathy. A good way to differentiate someone with ADD: people with ADD can't sit still for long even when they're doing something they like, they constantly fidget with their hands (I mean CONSTANTLY), and they don't go around telling everyone they meet that they have ADD.
Person with short attention span: "Hey, show me some respect! I have ADD, you know!"

Person with ADD: "Sorry, I'm getting kind of bored already. I guess I just have a short attention span."

attention horny

The built up urges most girls and some d00dz get to become attention whores, specifically in the context of harvesting compliments from the opposite sex. This behavior includes casual flirting, dressing a little more "risky" than par usual and out right flaunting and showing off in large groups of people. Usually a sign of insecurity, this behavior does not necessarily end in a blumpkin or a walk of shame as it is usually just a careless way to build up self confidence and feel sexy.
The girls have been busy with school and work all week, something tells me they will be getting attention horny to go out to the clubs and get noticed by men.
