[edit] Types of attention whore

While it is possible for attention whores to be only that, the vast majority actually fall into four, more specific attention whoring categories — specifically, camwhores, comment whores, drama queens, prostatots and those who must leave long diatribes explaing WHY they are unjoining a community. Very few attention whores can count.

--Typical "relationship" in which both male and female partake in Attention Whore-like antics.--

Attention Whore in its natural habitat

[edit] Example of a post (by a guy)

An attention whore may flash teh cock.

Hey, guys! I know I'm totally awesome! Also, I just DLed my LiveJournal. I'm sick of that emo trash. So, before I go and do my nightly cutting, I need to say this:

Last weekend I had a magical night with someone. We held hands, we kisses, we really connected.

I wrote a poem:

It was magic
It was dark
It was mystery
We were stark

In your bed
On my mind
I think you are
Very fine

Caleb, I love you! I've decided!

I know, none of you understand me. I'm just like Bono (U2).

Hello, hello
Hola
I'm at a place called Vertigo
Dond' esta
It's everything I wish I didn't know
But you give me something I can feel
Feel

Shot dead
Shots fall
Show me, yeah

That's how I feel inside! I fucking wish you people would stop stalking me! I'm talking to you, Pablo. Now you're even reading this, my one safe haven. You tried to rape me how many fucking times? It's making me sadder and sadder.

Now I have some cutting to do!
