Pay Attention to Me Text

A text message sent to a former lover that may give false hope to the brokenhearted but only serves to boost the heart breaker's fragile ego. Pay Attention to Me Texts often appear casual and benign, such as "Hey, what's up?" However, when properly ignored, they frequently progress to more desperate attempts to be noticed, such as, "I heard our song on the radio today," or "I can't stop thinking about you."

The entire exchange may serve to rebuild the brokenhearted's self-esteem and partially restore the balance of power in a failed relationship, but all is lost the moment he or she responds to the text.

attention whore

Attention whores aren't always fat. Some look good. There is variety within their group like any other group. But they could not even be labeled a group if they did not have similiar traits. Attention whores will say anything for instant shock value be it something sex oriented or cruel. They will either try breaking down others to make themselves seem more significant or use sexaul wiles and nude photographs for instant gratification. Some may even seem like neo feminist with the snide remark how their dildo can please them better then any man. Attention whores rather have hundreds of accquaintances then just a few dear friends. For some reason they measure their worth by the number of people they talk to instead of the quality of people. Not all attention whores are evil biatches. Sometimes it is a phase of adolescence or early adult hood. At times everyone craves attention or talks about their problems it's just an attention whore seems to suck the life right out of the party and cannot comprehend others have suffered too so their plights do not make them in any way more special then the rest of us.
Wise man say Attention whores have 1,000 people to chat to but none of them are actual friends.
