Attention-Starved Women Get Sick

I’ve seen it happen. Yes, yes, yes, I have.

Some women have an ability to get sick in order to get attention from their boyfriend or husband.

You’ve likely seen the sicko in action. She gets sick at the family reunion, at the reception, at the family picnic. Heck, she gets sick all the time.

I personally know a few women who are attention starved, and I’ve never been able to quite understand why they do what they do.

It seems like every time the guy in their life is beginning to have some fun, having a few beers or getting ready to really have a good time, she gets sick and needs medicine for a migraine or wants to leave early.

Uggg.

It really bothers me each and every time I see this happen, but I remind myself that is not my problem, so mind yo own bitness.

But I have come to the conclusion that there are people in this world who want attention. They don’t care if it is good attention or bad attention as long as it is attention.

A grown woman acting like she is gravely ill at each wedding reception or party she attends is like a teenage boy cursing out a teacher to get attention from his parents. It just don’t make no sense.

Any who.

Don’t get me wrong. I like attention. All women do. Heck, men do too.

There are a few other ways that attention-starved women attempt to get attention.

They cry for no reason.

Schucks, they don’t realize that this is actually desensitizing their mate. Heck, it is desensitizing everyone around them. Nobody wants to be around a crybaby. Suck it up. STOP!

Self pity is another one. These women say, "I look soooo fat," or "I look sooooo ugly."

Yep, this is an attention-seeking stunt. If you are fat, exercise and if you are ugly, ummm, I don’t know.

Oh, I got it. Find someone who thinks you are attractive. LOLOLOL

An attention seeking stunt that is also part of the high-tech world is messages and updates on Twitter and Facebook. Messages such as "feeling weird about today," or "terrified to know."

Yea, we are likely all guilty of doing something like this. And I think it's OK in small doses, but if every update is wooooo is me, meeeez soooo pitiful then you are in need of attention.

So do you think you get enough attention in your relationship? Do you crave attention from others? Do you know someone who gets sick at functions?
