ATTENTION-SEEKING ON A WHOLE NEW LEVEL


a) We all have that one friend that has the most dramatic, overacting, attention-seeking personality. They may be acting like this because they are just well, super extra or maybe they could be suffering from hysteria.  

b) What is hysteria? It's a disorder that stems from intense stress or anxiety or an emotional trauma happening to someone at one point in their lives. It's often misunderstood that people suffer from hysteria are similar to nymphomaniacs in that they need sex to get attention. Though that could be a side effect, mostly people suffering from hysteria really just want some attention. Sex is just another way some use to get attention. But it's not the only way. They can scream, act out, flirt, say outrageous things, whatever it takes to get some attention. When they're not getting any, they feel uncomfortable and it negatively affects their self-esteem and confidence. 

c) So, that friend of yours, do you think they have hysteria or are they just a drama queen?
