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.
