Attention Seeker

Seeking attention is something we all do in some form as we like to feel accepted and loved. And when we are not, a subconscious attempt is made to achieve this.

An attention seeker.
People with Attention Seeking behavior like to make the conversation all about them, usually so they feel important and superior to others, as well as having others feel bad for them and give them sympathy for their life.
They may practically beg for compliments, can be deceptive in nature so others compliment them and they get the satisfaction they need.

In regards to mental disorder, yes it is a real disorder, but can be so easily faked.
Everyone who fakes a mental disorder has a motive is an attention seeker.
Usually it is for personal gain, for sympathy from others, to apply for disability, to become well known, or else motives.

Whilst, people who truly struggle with the disorder want nothing more than to be rid of it so they can live a decent and somewhat ‘normal’ life. They may try and hide it from others so they are not judged for having a mental disorder.

Those that fake will mostly like be proud that they have it and talk about it all the time to anyone.

Watch out for people who blame everything on their illness and make excuses.
Someone can do something they know isn’t right and say, “Oh, that was just my disorder acting up.”
That’s an excuse. They could use that to their advantage.
There is no need for anyone to prove themselves, especially when it comes to mental disorder.

Complaining & Bragging

Watch out for people who are dramatic and cry, complain, and brag about how much their life sucks.
Who wants to listen to how miserable your life is?
Those people are over-the-top to get attention, complaining about having a bad day, hurting themselves and showing the result for the world to see so others feel bad for them.
Crying, quite literally, for attention. Attention Seeking, it’s quite easy to spot a fake cry, but not when you become emotionally attached to the individual.
These attention seeker people are subliminally making us feel bad for them, so we are empathetic to their suffering.
In fact, they are very tricky and deceptive and many people cannot catch on to their game.

They need to go through a lot of personal growth to be able to be happy with themselves so they do not involve the lives of others in their affairs.
For anyone who does this, the best thing to do is to be grateful for what you do have in your life.
There are so many people who are much worse off than you.
You could be worse off than you are right now. So, see the positive of what you have in your life.
