It's kind of sad how much people seem to despise attention seekers, some of them are just obnoxious assholes who really don't require it but sometimes there are people screaming out for help, maybe they really aren't suicidal, this, that, or the other thing, but they really do need a friend and there's generally not a reason it can't be you. We should be a more warm and loving society, amirite?
I like to be warm and loving.
You may complain that I have more up votes and such than you but at least you post thoughtful things instead of flat out shit like me.

Yeah, it makes sense to type this when you're on the other side of the room. Shut up.
The best way to lash out at an attention whore is to not give them attention. By acknowledging the fact that they're just looking for attention means you give them what they want.
What's wrong with giving someone what they want?
If it's a negative quality and you're indulging it, they aren't going to stop.
If you're going to complain about someone being an attention whore, then you don't really have much right to complain because you're giving them attention in the first place.
