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!

Dear Alice!
Exactly, you are right. But there are some attention seekers which only love fame and are actually proud of seeking attention in inappropriate ways.
However there are some innocents who are neglected by their loved ones and we should notice what's bothering them and can relax them by finding the problem they are suffering from.
Thanks for dropping by! :)
@Mishaikh Sir!
Very well said Sir. You are right. Mostly parents don't notice the little changes in their kids and really do not look after them and hence their kids feel inferior and become self centered and start acting weirdly.
Thanks for passing by! :)
It's nice to see a blog that treats a good subject , I agree with arif saeed it's not a matter of mental illness ,it's just lack of maturity .
People often blame the parents not giving attention to their kids especially when they are at a critical age like teen age ,and grown ups with such symptoms are just the result of such drama .
people should not ignore such people ,and should remember that these people are very sensitive and try to help them to integrate them with the society . and that's all folks :D " very serious subject "
@Hell Devil.
Point of views differ from person to person Devil, it's not a big deal. I appreciate your comment you have clearly mentioned what annoyed you in my blog post.
As long as it concern to the inappropriate selection of words, less knowledge and biased thinking, my dear friend maybe you forgot I too have the right to express my opinion and thoughts freely. :) I will ponder on it for sure, as no one is a perfect thinker and mistakes let people learn.
@Eva!
When I was posting this blog I was thinking about you. Not in a negative way for sure. I was excited to read your awesome comment on my blog post.
I would like to thank you for giving me your precious time and dropping a valuable comment here.
Well dear I came across some attention seekers recently which made me think upon their creepy behavior. I know that attention seeking varies from person to person and it has very different types. But those I encountered were very weird.
I can't stop agreeing with you that ignorance from parents, make kids loose their self confidence and then they try to get the attention through different means.
Thanks for decorating my blog with you wise comment dear :)))
Thank you for sharing your thought. I really like it. :)
Some people have various reasons to seek attention. Maybe some of the youngsters feel the need to be more 'prominent' due to peer pressure, thus they need to show off. I won't call it disease, since I think it's consciously being done by some of them. I believe the best way to deal with these kinds of people is just try to ignore them.
You have very well pointed out the problem, the reason of the problem..............which is itself a solution. I have always been saying in all forums and among the friends that listen to your kin and kids not only listen but also make them realize that they are being listened attentively, then try to guide them in normal way. This will build the confidence in them. So if there is any such behavioural problem appropriate steps should be taken.
Hi Anah there are a lot of problems that can cause people to act a certain way so the best way really to deal with this is to try to know where they are coming from. If we know a bit of the history behind the actions or the behavior then we react and respond in a way that will be helpful too. :)
I read your blog first time .......... but i am sorry to say i somewhat disagree with you.
Because i know many people who liked to be present and get noticed somehow ...... but they are not disturbed one's .. In fact their friends and family like him very much ..... and people wants to get around with him.
I actually found this blog intended to hurt "people who wants to get attention" because of using poor choice of words and lack of knowledge and totally biased opinion. Specially the subject is very bad.
You should have defined attention seeking person differently ....... coz attention seeking varies from person to person. Everybody wants to get attention at some level but its scale and intentions could be different.
I think you write good ...... but you should concentrate on your words selection. These are my two cents.
[Don't reply here ......... you know i don't come here often]
Thank you
