Do you know anyone… anyone at all who needs attention all the time? Someone that desperately needs to talk about himself/herself all of the time and feeds on other people’s sympathy?

I’m puzzled and amazed at the same time at this person’s (for simplicity’s sake lets call this person TAW which appropriately equals to “The Attention Whore”) capability to turn every benign conversations into dramatic discussions of TAW’s apparently poor, impoverished miserable life.

It’s like wow! That definitely needs extraordinary talent to do so. I certainly could not whirl a whole conversation about eating porridge for example into painless whining about my deteriorating menstrual cycle. But i bet TAW can! TAW could even manage to squeeze in the fact that this is causing her a bomb to consult a specialist which then TAW later finds out the specialist is actually TAW’s half brother from the father’s first marriage. Trust an attention whore to turn a completely innocent situation into a soap opera.

Ok, the above is not true at all but the main point is TAW really has such Oscar winning talent.

If you are broke, TAW is 10 times more dirt poor than you plus TAW has got to get a second job to pay off the loan. If you have a friend who betrayed you, TAW have 2. If you are ill, TAW is sicker than you and perhaps it might be life threatening too. If your boss is a bastard, TAW’s boss is a bastard plus a moron plus a sadistic pervert. I think you get the gist of it.

Doesn’t TAW realize that it’s extremely annoying and it doesn’t earn her any sympathy? All it does is annoy the sh*t out of everyone.

Gosh! How can i get rid of someone like that?!
