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

That stupid kid who posts Instagram stories to gain clout, some take it too far and make fake tears and bruises to look hurt.

They are commonly younger teenagers and seek for clout, it definitely works but it’s fucking annoying.

Trisha Paytas a famous controversial Youtuber, she lies about everything on Youtube for the fame and Attention.

A very sad and lonely person, typically with 0-2 friends. They post everything that happens to them on their story, like, literally everything. Ranging from “My mum forgot to buy me a pen” to “I just breathed very loudly” you get the point. They are typically female and annoying.

1. Someone who constantly posts the same immage with a small difference, which makes people not interested anymore. (WIP for example)

3. Someone who comments "👍" "ok", and for joke art sometimes "..." but expect them to get comments like "wow" "great" "that looks amazing"

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.

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?
