Attention seeker

Someone who likes to announce everything in their life on facebook to get people to feel sorry for them/react. Usually grossly exaggerated but can also be completely fictitious in order for people to respond as they don't have a life/friends.
The usual response if you ask them to stay out of your life is your a jealous bitch (and usually retards that can't spell) followed by some sort of tragic life story.
These kind of people like to constantly test their relationship/friendships to feel wanted.

Attention seeker

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.

Attention Seeker

One who creates something very disturbing to try to ruin someones reputation. The attention seeker achieves their goal by attaining maximum amount of attention from fellow peers, not realizing the consequences that are set for this individual attention seeker.
Sometimes an attention seeker will go down to a very low, lowest of level to gain attention and hurt someone.

Attention seeker can be anyone, friend, family, anyone.

Attention seeker will do anything and everything it takes to ruin someone, unknowingly, the person they are trying to mess has already prepared a "just incase" alternative.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
