I’m an attention whore and I constantly need attention so I create unessecary drama in my life to get it…is there a cure for this sickness ?
Personality disorders are tough to treat. If you really want to change, I’d suggest Cognitive Behavioral therapy.
To absolve yourself of creating the drama, you could try simply overreacting to every little thing.
I was thinking about that too, but it’s like I NEED the drama in my life…w/o it my life is just so Routine and uninteresting…
Well, there you go. It’s either a personality disorder (most people don’t NEED drama) or perhaps you’re simply not living the life you could be living…
I’m thinking it’s both =/
Oh. You’re normal, then.
Really? How interesting. Tell us all about it.
Well, what is it that you want to know? I tend to exaggerate things 10x more than they are(ex. If I’m having cramps I’d tell ppl I’m about to die) and start drama for my personal amusment…tell me I don’t have a problem…
Perhaps a hobby would be good?
The solution is a little hair of the dog. You have to go out and do some incredibly stupid things that create turmoil and stress in your life. Take pictures, or better videos, and post them here. Tell us everything you are doing along the way. Give us all the details on the havoc that rends your life and fractures your soul.
Snap out of it, already!
Grow up and challenge yourself to do something actually attention worthy, if attention is your thing.
You sure you’re not a drama queen? Attention seekers become actors and artists aplenty. Achieving as necessity for the reward of fawning attention.
Enjoying creating drama, for your amusement, makes you sound like a cat toying with a mouse. Could it be clearer to you that your talents are being wasted in such pursuits? Insult your intellect at your peril, the consequences can be lethal.
But, hey, what do I know? You’ve given us absolute diddly to go on. Age? Married/involved? Occupation? These factors could make a big difference in the advice you get, I’m just sayin’.

Yep. Hence the “tough to treat” part.
Yea, I’m a drama queen for sure! That’s one of my nicknames given to me, but the ppl in my life love it because I give them such good entertainment :D. On a serious note though, that approach to life isn’t healthy! I’m 20 btw and currently single if that matters?
No I think I just have too much time on my hands…all that Is about to change though…,
Again, with the cryptic crap.
And how is all of that about to change? Pregnant? Being shipped overseas? Moving to England? Adopting twins?
And why would you not share this at the out set?
Look, you’re 20yrs old, and should know, by now, that everything you’re ever going to be, you are currently in the process of becoming.
And you’re currently teaching yourself to be an attention seeking drama queen. You need to remember that the muscles you use, are the ones that grow stronger. Keep at it and you’ll soon be the biggest and best drama queen on your block! (if you’re not already!)
(And while the world is forgiving of such traits in a 20 year old, it gets old really fast. People have little patience for it in a 25yr old or a 30yr old. Be aware.)
You should know that your fellow 20yr olds are, much more likely, striving to turn themselves into better people, not indulging their worst traits. The difference will be glaring in just a few short years.
Too much time on your hands? That’s a pretty lame excuse, even for a 15yr old, for behaviour you are intelligent enough to know is detrimental to, not just others, but to yourself.
Grow up and hold yourself to a higher standard, that’s all it takes. May be odd feeling, initially, to be mature instead, but after a couple of tries, it will be second nature. You’ve trained yourself in the reverse, unfortunately.
I wish you good luck, regardless. (I think you’re going to need it!)
^ but I’m like seriously wanting to change though but at the same time it’s gonna be hard because the attention is what I feed off of…and I don’t know why…
I need some therapy…
what exactly do you do that’s worthy of attention?
