constantly needs attention
I have a friend who constantly needs attention. It was my friends birthday, but she made everyone pay attention to her. She thinks she's above everyone, and is 'different' just to be 'different', rather than being herself completely. I know thats a complicated concept. Anyway, the other day she was being mad annoying and i told her to be quiet and she blew up on me. She just recently told me how boring I am, so I think its my turn to tell her how attention-seeking she can be. Any suggestion?

Just confront her about the whole situation.
Sit her down, and talk to her and tell her everything that you're feeling about her.
And if she doesn't like it, or tries to argue with you, just forget about her.
She's not worth it, because she doesn't deserve ALL the attention.
But some people truly believe they do, and there isn't much you can do.

My advice to you is, ask her why she always wants attention.. She must want it for some reason right? Maybe it's because she feels as though no one listens to her, or cares. Just try to confront her about it. Try not to be rude about, just tell her that you would much more appreciate it if she could be herslef. You could also include that she could be so much more respected and loved, if she was just herself instead of trying to be something she wasn't meant to be. Tell her that she doesn't need to alwasy be center of attention to be loved or respected, and that her voice will get heard even if she isn't in the center of attention. Tell her you're always there for her, if she ever needs anything, but she just can't always be the center of attention. Try to be as polite and nice as posible. I hope this advice helped you atleast a tiny bit. Please e-mail or reply to me, to tell me if my advice helped you.. I'm just starting off, and I would really appreciate it if I would know if I'm atleast going in the right direction. Thankyou so much, and good luck.

first off when she wants attention don't give it to her. No matter how much she tries to grab your attention, tries to annoy you, ignore it completley -that's firstly how she'll stop
second of all, when it is someones birthday party or something, make sure you remind her " it's so and so's birthday - dont spoil it right now" or something along those lines
She called you boring only for you to get a reaction - so she can have more attention
the only way to stop it is to completly ignore it , and not let her get the better of you. Remind not to take the spotlight from others and just ignore anything she does. She wants attention so dont give it to her. You've tried enough for her not to look like such an attention seeker, so leave her to do it by herself, she'll be the one looking like a fool. It sounds mean because it isnt right to bail on her but maybe leaving her to do it will make other people tell her and then she might just listen to them and realise you aren't the only one telling her to stop. Ignoring is the key
