The attention whore… yes we either know them or at least know what they are.

I won't go into the WHY, because everyone has their different reasons.

If you want to know if someone is an attention whore, please consult this evaluation.

NOTE: these examples are based off of DevART because only people on DevART can read it. These examples can be altered to fit any situation.

***MULTIPLE EDITS***


1.) They submit 7+ journals a week. Most of the time, they will either say the same thing over and over. Also they'll post journals that have nothing of any interest just to put up a journal

2.) They submit 7+ deviations a week.

3.) They draw pictures that are visually attracting to either both or one sex when they could easily do other things. This refers to either attractive men/women in suggestive clothing/themes.

4.) ***Check their pic/fic view, comment, and fav count***. When the count starts to diminish on pic/fics, the artist will either draw/write something really angsty/emo that either relates to the artist or a large amount of people that find it touching. Their view, comment, and fav count will thus increase again.

5.) They constantly enter contests, and most of the time… WIN. If they aren't participating they still want to be part of it; such as a judge for art/fic contests.

6.) THEY arrange a lot of contests; either it is a pic contest, or even a simple 100,000 pageview challenge.

6.) When they DO enter a contest, they will submit multiple pictures to increase their odds of winning; usually 5+ pictures.

7.) They constantly ask other people to either draw stuff for them, or include their art in their pictures, fanfics.

8.) When people thank you for faving their art and then bluntly ask if they want to see the rest of their gallery.

9.) When people submit journals that say "Boo hoo I'm leaving no one likes me" and then come back a day later after they get a bunch of pitiful comments saying "nuu come back we lovez you D:"

10.) They contsantly say that they suck or over modest about their art just so they can have people say "no you're awesome" all the time.

11.) They submit a a lot of camera shots of themselves and use DA like a facebook/myspace account.

12.) They put up journals with really annoying titles like "YOYOYO I'M SO F*^$ING AWESOME!" and include numerous links to either sites they or others are part of. They also submit journals with interesting titles to draw your attention that have no relation to what they actually posted.

13.) They're affiliated to a version of the Charamell dance. Seriously, everyone knows what it is and it's FUCKING annoying, which makes them as well!

14.) They add the "Critic Request" option to all of your pictures or ones they think are awesome and would get a lot of views.

15.) They post journals at how you wine about their latest illness so everybody feels bad about them. Seriously, we don't need to know you're having your period.

16.) They actually get emotionally attached to DeviantART.
My cure: go have a social life with people you can actually meet and not those 1000's of miles away.
