One who desires attention at the most reprehensible, improper, gauche moments. He/she may wear clothing to appear as though he/she is different from the rest, (could be) spending
money loosely, as their pockets permit. This individual may also publicly proclaim their emotions through verbal outbursts, timebomb characteristics, physical rage (i.
e. striking any physical object nearby), or weeping in embarassment. These "striking" individuals love flirtation, physical stunts,
maybe dancing, piercings, tight clothing (for females), big
bling (for men), loud cars, Nike Dunks, the "
underground" scene" and more.
Attention whores are not that bad, they may even give reparations to others but somehow will lead them to talking about themselves through indirect compliments in comparison to others.
Perhaps attention whores just need a little love that they have lacked to receive from their childhood. Psychologically, attention is needed, but exhausting it is simply
pathetic and clearly a damn shame.
Now, please be aware that attention whores are underground too. They might just be the
person next to you.
