I have read articles about people who love getting attention by behaving inappropriately. Some may choose positive ways like creating a situation where they are praised or liked by people. And some may don't get bothered about the quality they get. Some get attention by creating a pity situation for themselves. So that people show sympathy towards them. They actually like to be highlighted, no matter what situation/ circumstances they create. They love it as long as people are connected to them through their weird behavior/act.
It's actually hazardous in many ways for not only the attention seekers but to the victim of their drama. To avoid attention seekers one must not promote or can turn a deaf ear to their silly acts, so that attention seekers will not continue their drama any longer.
As it's a sign of personality disorder so I would like to spill the beans here. Many people including large number of youngsters are suffering from this disease which is not a disease actually but a virus or an infection which is spreading vigorously, especially over the internet.
Such mentally disturbed people love getting attention through different cheap ways because they are not getting the appropriate attention from their family, friends and loved ones. The negligence and unsupported behavior of their loved ones may lead them to unsatisfied nature which in turn makes them get attention by creating scenes and drama or by over reacting over simple things, so that people will notice them, and they will be highlighted.
These are the few things which I myself have encountered a lot of times over the internet and in my personal life too which made me conclude that, their loved ones are not taking care of their emotions and not supporting them.
Tell me if you have ever met an attention seeker, not only over the internet but in the real world too.
P.S: I'm not intended to hurt anyone's feeling. My apologize if this blog post annoyed you or hurt you in any way!

Thanks Grace for stopping by and letting us know what you think about this topic. I agree with you they need care and protection at the same time. But, to some this is a disease and every disease needs to be cure.
Interresting blog to disscus, I have already met an attention seeker and I think it can come from their family style, broken home background or they are having unhappy childhood. And now I just wonder maybe some of them are autism when they were kids. It is annoying for us but they surely need a help. They probably could not able to mention what they need so they just show it by their silly expression to get others attention.
@Onee-chan!!
Indeed dear!
We can help them. But the real thing is they don't need cure. They love being infected. However, I wish they get cured.
Thanks a lot for sharing your views with us and admiring my blog! :)
Attention seeking is being done by almost all children.lol
For the bad one. When I see one of them, I only think that it must be from the upbringing of their parents or the elders, or they're facing one big problem. We as friend could help them by talking to them friendly and chummy. So, slowly let them not to do that anymore, helping by making them feel comfortable. I think, I ever did that. :)
Great work, dear Anah! ^^
@Ario!
Thanks for the link. You are certainly right. People in real world have some boundaries but people on the internet (FAKE WORLD) have no boundaries. They have multiple id's and they can be anything or anyone to gain attention. I have met several attention seekers on the internet and they made me sick actually. They feel satisfaction by doing such cheap acts. I really feel pity for them.
By the way Ario, it's Anah :P not Anna :P
The article talks about cyber bullies, not "normal" people. And we cannot treat cyber bullies like normal people. Normal people know that it's not OK to do anything cheap and dirty to gain people's attention, they also know if they do or did wrong things. For what I read on the article, the attention seeker bullies have some mental issues and need professional helps. These people are exist, people who spend times on internet can testify that they must have meet some who meet the criteria. Can they change? Yes, like mentally ill people can be cured. But they need professional helps. Well, now normal people need and like attention but they know some boundaries cannot and shouldn't be crossed ...so no need to be annoyed by anna's blog and the article.
Oh dear Eva!
Thanks a lot for your warm response. I am glad I've been featured again. I'm honored by your comments dear! :))
Yes, you are right we all want to be the circle of attention of our loved ones. But trying cheap ways to get that attention is really a weird thing for me!
@Hiruni!
