The canonical Attention Whore reference picture.

Most commonly found on the Internets, an Attention Whore is almost invariably a sixteen year old girl who desperately craves attention in any form. The majority of Attention Whores are completely insane and most still attend high school. Most Attention Whores have Histrionic Personality Disorder. Some of them are 300-pound women who think they're cute by dumping crap on other people to massage their flat egos.

   
 
They are looking for their 15 megabytes of fame. They want to be admired, want someone to want them. A lot of them are lonely and starved for attention. A lot of girls think they have no choice but to pose in this way. And then there are the thrill seekers who do it because it's edgy and cool.
 

 
 

ABC News telling it as it is

While it is widely believed (and hoped) that there is a special circle of Hell especially for Attention Whores, the truth is that their own miserable lives and public embarrassment are a far worse punishment than anything Satan could conjure up himself. The only way to cure Attention Whoredom is to fuck the living daylights out of the subject, or, if they are jailbait and buttugly, hand them over to Pedobear, who will fuck anything that has a small vagina and no tits.

This trait is also the most aggressive form of cancer.

    • claiming that they were shot in the spleen.

  • Constantly reminiscing about SUCH CRAZY TYMES and real BAMF moments with their fellow attention whore friends...while in a group of strangers.
  • Unwarranted Self-Importance
  • Will try to do anything as long as it's the result of them being in the center of attention
  • Feigning insanity to gather information and cloak herself as "insane" (This Wicked (In) Sanity. Enough sanity to fake insanity
  • Playing the victim, aka "Professional Victim"
  • Spreading tons of crap, lies and bullshit about possible victims who are usually innocent
  • Making up scenes were she claims she "almost got raped, got stalked, abused" (extremely exaggerated claims, pure malicious lies)
  • Psychological torture, cruel manipulation in order to break down victims sanity, judgment and personality
  • Using their victims as scapegoats for their own evildoings (Actually a whole diagnosis such as Aspergers Syndrome and writing total BS about it)
  • Blaming others for their own mistakes, failures
  • Trapping victims in friendzones aka "stonewalling or Silent Treatment"
  • Making a wide-spreading enormous drama "black-hole", probably in order to make profits, exploit chaos
  • Mass-spreading false information/attack/defamation about possible former ex-boyfriends aka so-called "bad-guys" "responsible for all evil"
  • Gas-lighting
  • Pity-play
  • Sex, seduction, charm, reality-distortion
  • Feigning confusion, including if people (often victims) are either "friend or foe"
  • Projection and often in extreme amounts
  • Projective manipulation (manipulate their own terrible traits "into" their puppets so their puppets may appear as bad as they are)
  • Other common tactics used by sociopaths/manipulators


Beware: If you have sex with one of these people she or he will tell the whole Internets how shit you were. In detail. Even if you're really good. Furthermore, if you end a relationship with an Attention Whore, she may invite the whole world to an online self pity party and reveal to everyone what a evil person you are. Attention Whores can make you lose all interest in the opposite sex and turn you gay. In fact, 98% of gays are the result of dating attention whores.
