Attention whore
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
Most commonly found on the Internets, an attention whore is almost invariably a sixteen year old girl who desperately craves attention in any form. More than 9,000 of attention whores are completely insane. Most of them attend your high school.
While it is widely believed that there is a special circle of Hell for attention whores, the truth is that their own miserable lives are worse than any punishment that Satan could create.

Story from an attention whore:
My name is Marguerite_Blakeney-St. Just. I am 25 years old, and married to Sir Percival Blakeney, my loving husband...
At least, that's what I thought of him before we wed each other. Not soon after we wed, he changed instantly. It seems my own husband lost interest in me just on our wedding day. He's so aloof, and I can tell he's hiding something from me...but he doesn't know that.
I come from Paris, France. I was an actress at the Comedie Francaise, as they say world-renowned. But I don't mean to be arrogant. I just want the love of my husband back. I grew up with my brother, Armand St. Just. He and I played father & mother to each other, as we lost our parents at a very young age. Armand works for Chauvelin, my former lover, who has tricked me into finding the identity of the Scarlet Pimpernel. He intends to blackmail me with my brother's life. I tell you though, he is the reason everyone thinks that I sent the St. Cyr family to the guillotine. That is incorrect. I was blackmailed, as Chauvelin found out my brother is associated with the Scarlet Pimpernel.
I remain at home in England, under strict orders from Percy not to leave. "For my safety," he insists. I just wish he wouldn't think of me as weak though.
I'm thankful my dear younger brother Armand is safe here as well. He and Percy escaped Paris after I left. No, I won't let dear Armand go back there to only be sacked by Chauvelin and his men. I won't allow it!
On the other hand, I do have that long-awaited garden party coming up and dear little Suzanne de Tournay de Basserives is helping me prepare for it!
[edit] Types of attention whore
While it is possible for attention whores to be only that, the vast majority actually fall into four, more specific attention whoring categories — specifically, camwhores, comment whores, drama queens, prostatots and those who must leave long diatribes explaining WHY they are unjoining a community. Very few attention whores can count.
--Typical "relationship" in which both male and female partake in Attention Whore-like antics.--

Attention Whore in its natural habitat
[edit] Example of a post (by a guy)
Hey, guys! I know I'm totally awesome! Also, I just DLed my LiveJournal. I'm sick of that emo trash. So, before I go and do my nightly cutting, I need to say this:Last weekend I had a magical night with someone. We held hands, we kisses, we really connected.
I wrote a poem:
It was magic
It was dark
It was mystery
We were stark
In your bed
On my mind
I think you are
Very fine
Caleb, I love you! I've decided!
I know, none of you understand me. I'm just like Bono (U2).
Hello, hello
Hola
I'm at a place called Vertigo
Dond' esta
It's everything I wish I didn't know
But you give me something I can feel
Feel
Shot dead
Shots fall
Show me, yeah
That's how I feel inside! I fucking wish you people would stop stalking me! I'm talking to you, Pablo. Now you're even reading this, my one safe haven. You tried to rape me how many fucking times? It's making me sadder and sadder.
Now I have some cutting to do!
