attention whore

An attention whore is anyone who is desperate for attention and do anything, including degrading or humiliating themselves to get it. Usually have low self esteem and absolutely no respect for themselves. Typical examples are girls in school that suck dick to get guys to like them and then act surprised when guys treat them like shit and girls call them hoes, and high and middle school girls that willingly pass out nudes and porn of themselves to get idiotic and phony compliments like "you're so hot". Most attention whores know how pathetic they are but are always willing to sacrifice what little dignity they have left for attention.

Damn, look at Hannah giving out nudes of herself all over school. What a pathetic attention whore.

Attention Seeker

A person who craves sympathy from multiple people by consistently drawing attention to ongoing personal problems is one way in which a person can be deemed seeking attention and is the most common kind. They can do this in person or on social networking sites to reach a wider audience. But attention seeking can come from getting looks from multiple people as a means to boost their ego, confidence and/or view of their place in society. This also improves standing in society and is considered to make them more popular. The common medium is the motorcar. Expensive, fast makes and models are perceived as the most effective at attracting the gaze and receiving positive feedback from people. So the social group most likely to indulge in parading themselves to get looks are people in the employment of high paying, top companies

I saw a man yesterday racing his Porsche down the street. He really was an arrogant attention seeker!

ADHD, aka Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

"Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurological brain disorder that manifests as a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity/impulsivity that is more frequent and severe than is typically observed in individuals at a comparable level of development. ADHD begins in childhood, and as has only recently been understood, can persist into adulthood as well. While some children outgrow ADHD, about 60% continue to have symptoms into adulthood. The disorder manifests differently in adults as hyperactivity tends to diminish." (www.adhd.com, 2007)

I really hope this information debunks the mythical "definitions" of ADHD, aka Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, out there. This information is reliable, fact-based, and referenced. Degrading self-righteous opinions and narrow-minded assumptions are not included in this text.

It is believed that ADHD is a highly genetic disorder. Approximately 35 percent of parents of children with ADHD have the disorder themselves. It's also not uncommon to discover that other people in the family (siblings, aunts, and/or uncles) also have ADHD. Interestingly, many parents only come to learn about their own ADHD once their child has been diagnosed. This may explain a lifetime of frustrations and prompt them to get help. (www.adhd.com, 2007)
