Attention Whores :D

I will make a scene at the slightest subjectively viable nuisance. Not that I care, but that it's hilarious having people watch me as I cuss out a mother breastfeeding in public. Favorite thing to do is to kill the atmosphere at a small social gathering by saying something depressing about myself when I can find relevancy. I'll also disagree with a person on everything, even when they are entirely correct. NightmareSweets, you just sold me on going to a Con. *slips on mirror shoes*

Two ways of of seeking attention, how you look and how you act. You are an Attention Whore if you use both and flaunt it.

OMG This topic is perfect. Hands down. (but if that attractive person suffers from depression or some other mental disorder they can't help that) But I do agree with you that when people openly call themselves ugly and yet take thousands of pictures and it's obvious that they feel beautiful, that is just so annoying.

I don't think that everyone who thinks their unattractive are attention whores. I've been told I'm pretty, but I don't feel like I am. It's hard to judge from just pictures too... because personally it will take me a zillion tries before I find one that I like enough to post online. I don't go around saying I'm ugly all of the time either, but when I do say it I really don't feel pretty. Chances are, I truly don't resemble my picture. I'm not looking for attention. I'm an introvert. I'm a girl who compares herself to another girl who is in fact far more visually appealing.

I don't think wanting attention is a bad thing whatsoever. Attention is nice and if you say you don't desire it whatsoever, unless you were a complete introvert hermit, I would think you are lying. When I was younger a lot of people would compliment me on my appearance and how I looked and I GENUINELY DIDNT BELIEVE THEM. When I posted to social media about my low self esteem or depression I wasn't looking for attention I just wanted validation that I was being human and that what I was feeling was okay. I wanted to be reminded that people cared about me and loved me and thought nicely about me. Being complimented is nice. Having people pay attention to you is nice. It fulfills a basic human need for affection and the need to feel loved and I don't think there is anything wrong in that unless the person tries to find that in emotional manipulative or abusive, in which case they need help, and if the person is depressed don't shame them for wanting to absorb some positivity. I know close to no one who fakes mental illness (except for a save, manipulative, generally bad people few) because mental illness freaking sucks and they have an illness and need to be treated and probably just want to vent about how they feel.

"attention whores to me are people who dress up in hardily no clothes at conventions and show their asses and wear no shirts and walk around smiling and wavinng at everyone they see and go to the bathroom alot and stick out their chest for pictures those my tornado friend is a true attention whore in my opinion none of you guys can agree im just saying :p those people kinda take the fun outta cons " Yet all I see from cons are pictures of those girls. Double standard much? Can't stand guys who are all "I DENOUNCE THEE" but in turn wont give a girl the time of day if she doesn't show a bit of a skin. Think im wrong? Think your that one exception to the rule? Yea w/e take a few seconds to think of all your favorite female characters. Also why is it fine for guys to go shirtless and pretend they are muscular awesome DBZ characters and attention whore but not girls? Just cause people want to actually look at us? Also. My mom is a psychologist and often works with pretty people who feel absolutely ugly on a daily basis, you'd be surprised how often the pretty ones have no self esteem. You call it attention whoring, but really the issue is they feel like no one likes them because they are so hard to approach they think everyone doesn't like them. All I see here in this thread is haters hating.

There's nothing wrong with wanting attention. It's the type of attention you're looking for that matters. If you want to be recognized for your hard work and dedication, cool. But if you're trying to get pity comments or ego boost, you're the plague that needs to be erased. Personally, do I think I'm great looking? You goddamn right I do. And if you don't agree, well, if you could see my face, you'd see the zero fucks that I give. Now I don't walk around like my shit don't stink, I'm not conceded, I'm confident. I don't NEED someone to tell me I'm pretty. I need someone to tell me when the next chapter of Tower of God is out so I can catch up on it. I need someone to help me make my costume. I need food. But your opinion on me? yeah, not needed.

^ Disagrees with everything this person says. Theres nothing wrong with needing confidence boosts and validation from other people. If we didn't need validation from people we could all be single and alone forever. If you don't tell you girlfriend shes pretty, prepare to get dumped. If you don't tell that pretty cosplayer shes pretty, prepare to get rejected.
