Episode 32: The Attention Whore

Random Math Joke: 
There are 10 types of people, those who understand binary, and those who don't.

But seriously tho, why must we all encounter the Attention Whore. We see them everywhere; on TV, in the club, in the classroom, etc. When we think attention whore, we think about the one who raises their hand to answer every question, even if they don't know the answer. But the attention whore could also be the one in the club trying to grab every girls hand. Yes, there are two types of attention whores:

1. Those Who LOVE Attention: Now we have all undeniable come into contact with at least one person who falls into this category. This person can often be described as DRAMATIC. I know a couple of people who just can't live life unless they are at the center of attention...all day... everyday. I'm not saying this is a bad thing because actors and singers are at the center of attention (and who doesn't love them?). However there is a thin line between being the center of attention and trying to get all the attention. 
• The problem with this person is that they thrive on attention and expect to get it all the time. I could break my ankle the attention whore would come in crying about being dehydrated -_-. Go and drink some water dummy (Fuss you dotish), we got bigger fish to fry (my foot is doing the Harlem shake on it own). This would be the person writing a comment about everything going on in their life...on facebook. You look needy, desperate, and troubled. Keep your personal business to yourself. Which brings me to my second type of Attention Whore...
2. Those Who Give WAY TOO MUCH Attention: This person may be described as a fiend.This person may be the one who gives everyone else "advice". (You ain't no GURU, gwan wit all that) Perhaps this person has too much time on their hands. Perhaps the only way this person feels like they have a purpose is to give all their attention to other people. Perhaps they sit at home thinking of ways to appear more desperate. But for whatever reason, this person is the reason why the Type 1 person feels like they are someone of importance, (Like they are the Queen of England).
• Its one thing to talk about to invest a lot of time into a person you care about given that the other person is willing to invest just as much time as you are.
• Its another thing to invest every moment you have into a person who doesn't give a flying raccoon about you. Or even worse, investing time in numerous people to help their self esteem and make them feel better about themselves. This person doesn't know which person is worth investing their time in. In this case, the quote "To GIVE is better than to RECEIVE" does not apply. It is just as bad to give too much as it is to get too much.

Now me on the other hand, I just take whatever I can get. I don't seek attention. I'm not saying anything is wrong with wanting that one head-turning moment (because Lord knows me want mine) but whats lengths are you willing to go to just for a little attention. The reason I wrote about this topic is because I feel like sometimes I give guys too much attention (Obviously guys are the reason for all of my confusions). Its gets even worse when there is more than one guy...during school. I don't have enough attention to give my schoolwork, led alone my schoolwork and myself or even worse...my schoolwork, and MYSELF, AND another person. 

Beware: The littlest thing is considered giving/getting attention, such as a text message, a facebook post, a tweet, a date, etc. So consider this my FORMAL dating resignition...YES, i am resigning from dating (friends and guys). Sorry, the only person getting attention for the next 3 months is me, myself, and I. #Bow.

Remember: Nothing in EXCESS. Everything in MODERATION!
