Everybody likes attention. It's a nice reminder that someone is thinking of you, and usually, attention is favorable. In fact, I would argue that we're hardwired to enjoy it, because why else would we spend half our paychecks on the exact same pair of black Vans and Thrasher T-shirts? For someone else to notice, of course.
Here are some attention addicts who will do anything to get their fix.
They know they might look a little ridiculous, but if it means getting attention, they don't care at all. As someone who literally owns a shirt that says "give me attention," I am all for this.
In the beginning, everybody always looks for ways to share good pictures of themselves without seeming vain or narcissistic.
But over time, we all come to realize that no one cares and that sometimes, it's okay to light yourself up.
Just run a 5k or sell some cookies or something. That'll give you bragging rights for at least six months.
There are a lot of attractive people in the world, and you don't have to look like one of them to be one of them.
Maybe you should put the doppelgänger shtick to rest and just be yourself. That's what T-Swift would want.
Let's ignore the fact that this person is clearly trying to draw attention to their ample number of friend requests, and instead, let's use it as a vehicle for promoting the importance of self-celebration.
I did my laundry today, AW YISSSSS.
The worst thing you can do when someone is fishing for compliments is to give them one. The best thing?
Compliment someone (or something) who is deserving as a reminder that they shouldn't beg for attention.
Unless this girl's parents are really wealthy or something, chances are no one believed she could afford a Porsche anyway.
Being intimate with someone you don't care about just for the chance to be intimate with someone else that you probably don't care about either is next level.
That's the kind of thing that would get you beat up at my public school. Or just being super rude, actually. This girl clearly wouldn't have stood a chance.
Apparently not, though. Instagram captions don't have to make sense, they just have to make people smash that like button.
Your birthday is like a mini holiday for you only. You deserve attention, and TBH you shouldn't even have to ask for it.
Based on that last comment, I'd say that she knew exactly what she was doing.
Sorry, girl, but we're just not buying it. It's okay to take a selfie and put it on the internet though, don't worry. People do it all the time.
And still, couldn't they just talk on Facebook? That's a thing, right?
Seriously, you could post a pic of your sock and it would still get more likes than any photo on my Instagram. What's the point of this?
Beards take a while to grow. I'm sure someone would've noticed this bad boy coming in.
Are you seriously trying to tell everyone that your entire world is sepia toned, but your eyes are bright blue?
I'm getting real fed up with these ridiculous excuses to post selfies. I should start a campaign to put an end to this madness. #LoveYourSelfie
I wish every pup on the planet sought out attention like this little princess. The world would be a much better place.
It's the quickest way to get called out, and then if you post the photo again, everybody will know you lied about it the first time and you'll look like a dingus.
She could've just put "this is an awesome song" and went on her merry way, but no. That would've been way too easy.
But this...this is quite disturbing.
Long nails are already pretty useless and not very functional. So what. Is. The. Point?
This is too much, even for a seasoned cosplayer I bet.
THERE ARE EVEN PICTURE FRAMES. Come on!
If everyone gets a separate room in the house, so should the dog.
Don't pretend that you don't wish you thought of this, too.
I also wish that I knew about highlighters back in grade 12, but such is life.
Sure, this could be for Halloween, but since the uploader said they took the pic in May, pretty sure that's not it.
And even if it was for Halloween, you have to think the cops would take more than a passing interest.
Or at least less painful and expensive ones. I mean, kudos for making bold decisions and all, though.
The only thing worse than lying for attention is getting caught lying for attention. I would love to see the face on this kid when he sees that snap.
Forgetting you have your own daughter on Facebook when you make things up about her to throw yourself a pity party is...not a good look.
What a ludicrous display. I love that I can hear Chris O'Dowd's reply/denial in his voice, too.
Stealing the pic of someone's dead wife to get fake internet points? Ouch. Have some class!
It's okay, girl. It happens to the best of us.
But I'm not, and I'm not about to pretend to be. I mean, people know that Google Image Search is a thing, right?
So maybe you put a lot of time and effort into getting your makeup juuuuust right, but waiting another 20 minutes to feed your kid first is an even better idea.
Couldn't you have seemed at least a little bit upset that your dog died? Or maybe saved the selfie for a different caption? RIP, little pup.
I don't want to stifle anyone's creativity, so I'll just say that we've definitely seen worse ways for people to show that they're bored and craving some attention.
You just know someone's going to take this the wrong way. That's the world we live in.
Like this cat, who is not allowed on the table and knows it, but still has to be the center of the universe, of course. Credit to that determination.
