The Psychology Behind Attention Seeking Behavior in Adults 1. Hysteria Suppose you’re having a seemingly decent conversation with one of them. As of yet, you don’t know whether the person you’re interacting with is an attention seeker or not. All of a sudden, you find them burst with emotions.
2. Playing The Victim But it doesn’t stop there. They’ll behave as if they’re victims of emotional exploitation. Though you’ve done absolutely nothing to cause the trauma, they however, like to play the blame game. You’ll start feeling uncomfortable, but that won’t deter them from continuing their drama. They have absolutely no regard for social order and peace and would leave no stone unturned in playing a poor victim who has been traumatized by the person they’re interacting with. All this for a speck of attention.
2.扮演受害者 但它并不止于此。他们会表现得好像他们是情感剥削的受害者。虽然你没有做任何造成创伤的事情，但他们喜欢玩责备游戏。你会开始感到不舒服，但这不会阻止他们继续他们的戏剧。他们完全不考虑社会秩序与和平，并且会不遗余力地扮演一个被他们所交往的人所伤害的可怜的受害者。这一切都是为了引起关注。( Google translate)
Common Reasons Behind Such Behaviors 1. Social Media Usage Since social media platforms generate the feeling recognition and fame, it automatically develops the desire for attention. Chronic usage can turn a person form a social animal to a voracious seeker for attention.
2. Childhood Loneliness Often, children feel emotionally abandoned when their guardians or relatives don’t pay enough attention. It can also happen that a child has been pampered to the extent that they can no longer live without constant attention even after they’ve grown up. These two polar opposite circumstances give rise to the same problem. A chronic hunger for attention. Whether it be abandonment, difficulty in communication or spoiled pampering, it eventually creates an appetite for more and more attention.
How To Deal With It? 1. If You Are The Victim – Play Tactful While it’s decency to respond to someone, attention seekers, however, don’t deserve that, at least the most of it. When you find them getting desperate for attention, what you can do is, give a delayed response. Continue this, and watch them slowly fade away from your life. Because your repeated delayed response would indirectly convey that you’re not available for them and that they are not the center of the universe.
2 If You’re The Seeker, Work On Your Psyche If you’re reading this, and happen to be one of the attention seekers, don ’t get upset. There’s always a solution to everything. Just recall the above-mentioned traits of an attention seeker and identify which one best describes your situation. Once identified, start working on it.
As mentioned earlier, attention-seeking arises from an instinct rooted deep in our subconscious, and only their careful amendment can bring about changes in your psyche, thus making you a better person with time. You have to understand the difference between socializing and attention-seeking, and eventually work on your problem.
right, you got it. Usually those bunch are also accompanied by pathological lying at the same time.
Pathological lying, also known as mythomania and pseudologia fantastica, is a mental disorder in which the person habitually or compulsively lies. The reason for such lies often serves no obvious purpose other than to paint oneself as a hero or victim depending on the circumstance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathological_lying
The most compulsive attention-seekers suffer from the behavioral patterns of a Histrionic Personality Disorder and truly inflame family, friends, teachers, therapists, or even a wider community.
The word “histrionic” means theatrical and is derived from the Latin word histriōnicus—“of actors.” (This is different from being an overly, out- of-control emotional, commonly known as hysterical. “Hystera “is a Greek word and means “womb.” It was believed that only females could suffer from it, a misconception debunked by both experts and just about anybody who has paid attention to what’s unfolding on social media.)
Why Adults Exhibit Emotional Attention Seeking Behavior There are many different reasons you might be tempted to seek out attention, including low self-esteem or a fear of being neglected. A person could also exhibit these attention-seeking behaviors as a result of heightened emotions. When a person feels intense emotions of rage, jealousy, or abandonment - they may react irrationally. In that case, the behaviors may be temporary or as a result of poor impulse control.
When this behavior happens repeatedly, it can become habitual. In these cases, people utilize unhealthy attention-seeking behaviors consistently. Here are some of the common causes of chronic attention-seeking.
Many people who seek negative attention have low self-esteem, and they feel insecure about themselves. They may be afraid that others can't feel genuine love for them or feel inadequate. As a result, some people with low self- esteem may overcompensate to disguise their feelings or act in ways that give them a temporary sense of power.

为什么成年人表现出情绪化的注意力寻求行为
您可能有很多不同的原因想要寻求关注，包括自卑或害怕被忽视。由于情绪高涨，一个人也可能表现出这些寻求注意力的行为。当一个人感到愤怒、嫉妒或被遗弃的强烈情绪时，他们可能会做出非理性的反应。在这种情况下，这些行为可能是暂时的，也可能是冲动控制不佳的结果。
当这种行为反复发生时，它就会成为习惯。在这些情况下，人们始终如一地利用不健康的寻求注意力的行为。以下是导致长期寻求关注的一些常见原因。
Low Self-Esteem
Many people who seek negative attention have low self-esteem, and they feel insecure about themselves. They may be afraid that others can't feel genuine love for them or feel inadequate. As a result, some people with low self-
esteem may overcompensate to disguise their feelings or act in ways that
give them a temporary sense of power.
自卑
许多寻求负面关注的人自尊心很低，他们对自己没有安全感。他们可能害怕别人无法感受到对他们真正的爱或觉得自己不够用。因此，一些自尊心低的人可能会过度补偿以掩饰自己的感受或以某种方式给予他们暂时的权力感。
