5 Types of Attention Whores
Permalink  
 


I think this is a writing that everyone should read.  I especially like the one about overly nice one, She/he is the one that talks about how great she/he is but then talks behind people's back.  It's an age old personality type but probably comes out quicker on social media.

 

5 Types Of Attention Whores

 

Five Types Of Attention Whores

1. The Camera Whore

The best indication that the girl in question is a camera whore is the way she uses her Facebook profile. The fact that she has over 4,000 photos is a telltale sign that this is the type of attention whoredom you’re dealing with. She probably went through a phase during which she took embarrassing selfies in the mirror with her phone. God forbid, she still takes them. It’s nice to have her around, because she generally serves as the group’s photographer, but it’s transparent. She fights her way to the center of every picture, demanding to be on her good side, and the act gets old. We all went through a phase when we felt the need to take enough pictures to fill a whole album every single time we went out, but most of us grew out of it in our early high school years, perhaps with a brief relapse our freshman years of college. While this girl is obnoxious, though, her attention whoredom is harmless. Find a girl like this to Facebook stalk when you’re having a bad day, and you’ll be feeling so much better in no time, as you realize how classy and cute you are in comparison.

The Social Media Whore

This is the girl that uses Facebook as her diary. Every emotion she has ever had, she pours into a long and embarrassing Facebook status. She can’t go a conversation without mentioning something she saw on Pinterest. She’s basically her own paparazzi. Just check out her Instagram. Everything about her day, from what she ate, to some random scenery she happened upon, to a cuddle pic with her grandmother’s cat is packaged and presented to you beneath an Earlybird filter. Though seemingly similar to the camera whore, the difference lies within the fact that her photographs aren’t ever posted to showcase herself. The purpose is for everyone to know how fabulous she and the things she’s doing are. The plus side about having her as a friend? You never need to text her to figure out what she’s doing, just go on Twitter or foursquare, and you’ll know right away what she’s up to and where to find her.

The Attention Whore That Looks The Part

Judging this train wreck is always a fun activity if your Saturday night isn’t as exciting as planned. This girl uses her body to attract attention. Sometimes she’s attractive, and sometimes, well sometimes she’s one of those sights you just can’t unsee. You can identify this girl by her maximum-exposure clothing, complemented by her orange skin, black eye makeup, and too-tall hair. Once she heads out, her mission is “drunkest girl at the party,” because she probably wouldn’t be able to engage in the activities she likes to participate in without a trusty blackout by her side. She’s dancing on tables, giving lap dances, taking body shots, and flashing rooms full of people. Is she an actual whore? Maybe, maybe not, but in either case, assume she’s at the very least okay with sending nudes for the “You’re so hot” thrill, and proceed with caution while opening snapchats.

The Drama Queen

Small name, big ego. One of the most dangerous kinds of attention whores, this girl loves to be the center of attention and will do whatever it takes to get her way. She’ll trivialize serious matters in applying them to herself, just to make sure she’s the focus. She’ll exaggerate her poor body image into an “eating disorder,” and a regrettable hookup into “the time she almost got raped,” completely insulting and undermining the people who actually have these problems. Whenever there is drama, she’s always the center of it, and even if it doesn’t pertain to her, she’s sure to get involved. Even if her life is going great, she’ll have some awful crisis to bitch about as long as someone’s around to hear it. I assume her life motto is along the lines of Why waste a temper tantrum if there’s nobody around to witness it? God help those witnesses that don’t hide their lack of give-a-****.

The Overly Sweet, Fake Attention Whore

This girl is the absolute worst. She’s so nice that before you realize that she’s only pretending to be the sweetest girl alive for attention, you feel like a bitch hating her. Luckily, she’s not really a good person. No one is that nice all the time, unless they’re only doing it to seemnice. Don’t believe me? Then I wouldn’t stick around to hear what she says behind your back. Don’t be fooled when she offers to let you borrow her clothes, bakes something for your birthday, or consoles you when you’re upset. These are things that are expected from your best friends, but coming from anyone else, it’s weird, fake, and should not be trusted. People love her, because they are stupid, and they fall for her tricks, but she’s the farthest thing from altruistic. The only reason she’s “so nice,” is because she wants people talking about how amazing she is. Ever notice how vocal she is about her “good” deeds? She wants to be on everyone’s good side, and in many cases, uses her “sweet” personality to extract gossip, which she wil pass on to others. Do not trust her.

I don't put a lot of stock in stuff like this. Usually if it's your friend you don't see them as a drama queen. If you like the person you just say something like, They've had a lot of bad luck. Or something like that. But if it's someone you don't like you label them drama queen. I've had this experience in the past where I was friends with people and they thought a mutual friend was just so cute and charming and it was horrible she was having such a hard time lately. I felt like she was a drama queen. In the specific incident I'm thinking of I turned out to be right. But I'm sure I've stood up for people who I felt loyal too who also weren't that great. It's all perspective.

I also don't buy the overly nice thing. Sure, there are people out there like that. I've even known a few. But my experiences are mostly people do the right thing because they want to help out and be nice, not for ulterior motives. Besides, I don't want to live my life doubting everyone's move. I'll give everyone the benefit of the doubt until they show me otherwise that I should.

Ahh.... a rather derogative narrative focused only on women.

Now, ed, go find one similar about men.

Yea. What about the men? I think there are more men who take the pictures in front of the mirror, shirtless, flexing their muscles.

Or how about all the new "tat" photo's, or colored punk hair?

Yeah, I see a lot of young males posting selfies all the time.

Men can be attention whores too.

Just change the she to he when you read it.

Geez.

Men are different "kinds" of attention whores.

 Well said, NJN.

I'd rather be a bit too trusting than the alternative.

I just think it's sad if we start looking for an ulterior motive in every good deed.

I think men can be in the same categories. Even though the writing is written as "she" it could be just as easily a "he". You don't have to question people's nice deed motives, that isn't the point. It's about what happens next. Lots of times those "nice" people will get mad if you shy away from their wanting to do something for you or they will constantly talk about the nice things they have done. They can be forceful in their "generosity".

I think the drama attention seeker is the most annoying. It is as though they must have drama in their lives and thinks everyone wants drama too.

This thread just proves my point. That if you say that you that the blue sky is pretty, then someone is going to get 'offended" that you somehow don't like a red sky or a stormy sky and how dare you "dis" those, blah, blah, when in fact all you did was make a simple comment about a blue sky. Uh huh.

My phone posted this article on Abe Vigoda's thread, guess he must have been an attention whore.  And LL fixed it.
