Constantly making everything about themselves, oversharing dramatic stories online, or creating conflict just to stay in the spotlight definitely screams “attention seeker.”
throwing tantrums when even the slightest thing doesnt go their way. now everybody needs to come and console them for listening to someone other than them for once.
Talking about ur self and relating everything to u, then not even listening, paying atrention to, or looking at the other person when its their turn to talk. These types of ppl piss me the fuck off
Literally anything can be attention seeking. Look at these comments for example, “darn those people who crave social attention making posts on social media the same way I do.”
I don’t think attention seeking is an action, or even a collection of actions, to me it’s a negatively connotated mentality assumed of someone. Which I’d argue is only negative if an individual is actively aware of it and making use of the attention to be manipulative, a whole separate issue.
Some people just can’t help but be vulnerable online, get hurt frequently, be loud in public settings, etc. In the same way many can’t help but feel no sympathy for said people.
it sometimes means they are lonely in real life because they dont get to have conversations or some version of this if we are not including mental condition type stuff

A friend of mine was surely the worlds worst for seeking attention with her doom & gloom facebook statuses
She once asked me if i could review her privacy settings for her so that she wouldn’t show up as a suggested friend so while i was in her settings i changed the audience of her statuses so that only she could see them
Needless to say she went quiet on facebook for a few weeks before deactivating her account saying she couldn’t be bothered with social media
