Attention Seekers

Humans are social creatures. They require social interaction and feedback. Some of us get this naturally from our daily lives and our relationships. However there are people who cannot connect with their lives and relationships. They are constantly seeking attention by one way or another. They have low Emotional IQ's. They will often indulge in negative behaviour so that people will notice them.

These emotionally immature people are highly insecure and lack in confidence. To counter these feelings they are constantly creating situations in which they become the centre of attention. They can indulge in manipulation and deception just to get attention. They will get into arguments and fights just to get involved. It does not matter to them that the situations they are creating are highly negative and destructive. They just seek attention. Period.

They can exaggerate their illness and pain, can provoke situations which can cause or invite injury to gain sympathy and thus attention. They often exhibit a 'poor me' persona.

They can even manipulate lives by creating highly negative situations and then posing as the saviour. This way they can emerge as heroes and get the attention they require.

These people manipulate and twist facts into extraordinary proportions. They are drama experts who will exploit any incident, no matter how small or insignificant, into events of dramatic proportions. Everything is do or die with them.

Its a constant emotional boxing match with these kind of people. They desperately need to be in the centre of the ring, the star attraction. Nothing less than that will do. They will do anything just to get attention.

These people will verbally assault you until you cave in. They will draw you into battle no matter what you do. They will try to get victimised so that they can later gain sympathy. What they say or do never matters to them. What is important is just other peoples reactions and words.

Remember, these people will do anything for attention. Dealing with these kind of people is very challenging and will test your emotional IQ to the limit.
