Alright, so I was in Cape of Distant Worlds, hanging with a few friends, and a character named "Skylar f pup" was walking around. I was talking to my friend, and skylar kept replying to them as if I was talking to her. She got no answer from us, and then she said "Nobody loves me :(" so and so, and finally I said "Skylar, come on, lets rp" and she only replied with "Make me" I wasn't really in the mood for RP, so I just went back to my friend.
The complaints kept going on "Nobody loves me" Or "I'm being ignored" all that stuff. Finally she just said "I will quit FH forever! nobody loves me!" And then, she didn't get a response to that, either. Of course, this attention seeker did not like that, so she went a bit over the edge, saying "I should kill myself irl :'(" And here we are. As far as I know, Skylar is still on the server. I think her username was Howling11 or something like that.
So, do you have any attention seeker experiences? What do you do, just ignore them or just let them join in with you? Because I find letting them join in does no good, because they just sit there :I well, thats what always happens to me at least when I let them join with me and my friends.

I can't remember any of my "attention seeker" experiences, mostly because I have the worst memory ever. But I've heard about things like this, and it bothers me some. People like that can get really annoying, and they just don't get it perhaps that if they do that, of course they won't get any attention at all. It's better to just be themselves, act a little kinder and not say terrible things such as "I'm gonna kill myself irl. I've got rope in my room, Imma do it :(" Well...
I've actually had a pup who came wandering to where my friend and I were roleplaying. Yar, she seemed kind and gentle at first, and we invited her to roleplay with us. She did exactly that for a while until she... sorta.. "opened" herself up to us and started nagging at our feet. The stuff she's been saying literally drove us off the edge:
"Why are you guys ignoring me?!"
"Because of you, I'm thinking of quitting FH for good."
"I'm gonna tell a staff member!"
I honestly don't know what we did to make her act like such. We were roleplaying, anyhow, and we didn't exactly speak in OoC at all with her. Maybe that's why..? Well, I don't know if it was the things we were posting or not, but she just didn't make sense.
It came to the time when we had to go for the night, but she started complaining even more that we were "meanies" who would ditch her. The amount of such arguing and complaining was unbearable, and eventually my friend just logged off without saying another word.
Guess you know where this came to, me trying to sort things out but she ended up logging off after a while, leaving me there trying to contemplate on what the heck just happened. But yar, this was one of my experiences.
It seems as though most pups, in my opinion, seem to be said "attention seekers". I've only came across a few pups that were really kind and funny. I've seen larger canines or felines as well who would go on, and on talking about their mates not loving them and that they should quit Feralheart so they wouldn't have to see them again. I don't know why this is common, and I don't appreciate such behaviour, really.

The attention seekers. Alright, well, first, as I always say, I don't mind most behavior or strange antics from others, however half of them do derive from the "attention seekers." I've had very few personal experiences and friends who would be effected by the people who want attention to themselves. For the past two days, I've seen a little number of people saying "No on loves me" or "I'll quit FH cuz no body care."
In the other sense of the attention seekers, what baffles me the most is once the finally receive attention or vice versa, someone replying to them immediately afterwards in speaking or interacting with them, they readily reject you. If they want the attention and get what they want, why are they not satisfied (in role-play sense as well)?
My first guess is, is that the people who seek attention have been previously rejected by other people they knew. Thus, they being to crave the attention or spotlight moment. Once they have what they wanted, they have the opportunity to reject someone else as they were rejected before.
Then to my second guess, they simply are lonesome. Some people don't know how to interact with others well, so they see the need to pull off a short stunt to get them noticed. Most commonly, quitting the game, threatening themselves, negativity about themselves, trolling, and the list goes on from there.
In my opinion, this kind of behavior is fickle. It's not wrong, in a sense, it's just that the certain person seeking attention either doesn't know how to communicate effectively with others well or have been sunk down to a level to other people who have been negative to them.

Attention seekers. I just hate them. Usually I don't come across any, but when I do I get really annoyed. I say that I have to go, then I disconnect. I either go play another game, stalk these forums, or I get onto another character (who is in another map) and continue playing from there. Those kinds of people don't seem to remember the usernames of other people after a couple of minutes, anyway.
One time I was wandering around Bonfire Island, and randomly a German shepard pup starts following me around. I decide to simply ignore it, and continue with my gameplay. But soon, the pup began screaming at me. "Why are you running away from me?!?" "Why won't you talk to me?!" "No one loves me, and I quit FH!!!" I got annoyed with their screaming (they were talking in caps), and finally I stopped and tried to have a half-decent conversation with them. Simply after one post, they said, "You wouldn't talk to me! So why should I talk to you!? You're so mean! I'm going to report you!!" I had nothing to say after that, and I'm pretty sure they never did do anything about it. (After she ran off, she went and asked someone nearby how to take a screenshot/how to report, but that person disconnected and the pup threw a fit and disconnected after that.)
Attention seekers don't seem that annoying, but when I do encounter them, I can easily understand people's pain.
-
weird, that dude is weird. "Kill myself"? I guess this is how he's having fun, killing himself in every 5 minutes
-
So many I have experienced... But all those are the first XD
-
I dislike attention seekers. They just run around begging for attention and then when they don't get what they want they say they're gonna leave FH forever and kill themselves in real life -.- It's really dumb and immature if you think about it. One time I was just sitting in Fluorite and then someone was just running around saying "Nobody loves me :( Why do people ignore me?" Everyone ignored her and then she said she was going to commit suicide in real life and quit FH forever ::) The things people will do to get attention these days...
-
D--> Oh those ever so annoying attention seekers. I've met many out in the game, especially the kind that say "NO ONE CARES 4 ME! IM GONNA GO DIE NOW!" Often times they're just trolling around. They say that they are going to go kill themselves in real life just to try and make others feel guilty for not giving them attention. I say pay them no attention and block them.
-
I haven't any attention-seeking experiences that I could recall, but your stories sound quite annoying and frustrating. Some people just don't pay attention to the age limit v.v (The attention seeking players are more often than not underage)
-
Well, if someone is genuinely thinking about hurting themselves, calling them out as attention seekers and saying they're stupid would probably be the wrong way to go about things. A VERY wrong way to go about things. If they're saying it just to say it, I'd probbably just calmly explain to them that it isn't anything to joke about, whether they listen or not? That's the part that's concerning me the most about this.
-
I have so many attention seeker experiences but, I really do wish saying 'I wanna kill myself' or 'I wanna die' should be a rule not to say that. Committing Suicide isn't a very fun thing to RP, even if you're just wanting attention.
-
Ok what i just read is just plain weird. Wow i would have completely lost it if i were you. I would not be able to ignore them. I would either log off or move to another map. Attention seekers can be annoying. But good luck if you meet one again.
-
Sadly, these are the biggest bother one can run into in feral heart. Although it can be quite difficult one must learn to deal with them, for if you loose your cool everytime one of these certain people run into you it can prove to be very difficult to stay within the game. I personally know it is hard, however one must learn to be able to enjoy the community.
-
Ah, attention seekers. Like Vanquished has stated before me, one must learn to cope with their presence for sometimes, it's not fully their fault. They might be either young and not entirely mature or they've grown up with a difficult childhood. One must learn to keep these things in mind before deciding to insult them for their annoying personality or not. Me, I have learned to cope, and whenever I see one, I prefer to keep my opinion to myself. I'd rather keep peace than cause conflict.
However, that is just my perspective on things.
-
Hah, I see people like this in almost every map. There's always that one "No one loves me ;( person. They just want attention, and when they don't receive it, they throw tantrums. Personally I just ignore them, and don't even bother messing with them, and if they try anything like that with me, I usually block them. But end up unblocking them later because I end up feeling guilty for blocking them. ;~;
-
Yeah same here. I block floofs that are rude or attention seeking to me. And then when im about to go off i unblock them so if you look on my block list... it's blank.
-
Yes. Lovely attention seekers and or trolls in my case. .-. I was walking around in Cape for a little. When I sat down, this wolf comes over and starts buttswinging over me and saying "sniff it sniff it!" I got mad and threatened to report them while my best friend was typing hahaha and lol. Then when the wolf stopped my best friend called me a dummy. Nice right? But yea I think that wolf was looking for attention.:I -sigh-
-
Ignore them =-=
There only looking for attention. Yet there most likely immature children. Plus there more likely sobbing there little annoying hearts out just to get attention and get there own way.
Like I said, Ignore them and carry on, Or just press there best friend the big Block button :3
-
They cause more rage when you ignore them... but in the end they leave. or you could always block them and when your about to get off game or go to a different map you can unblock them... or just let them be blocked forever. To never see your floofy butt ever again XP

Hmm, True dear. But by the time you leave you would have blocked them because you would have 'Rage Blocked' them xD But its all good by the time you end the stupid 'Trolling' or 'Child' they would have 'Rage Quit' :3

We've all had many attention seeking moments ourselves whether we remember them or not, we've all been there at some point. Some of us feel better when we get attention, some just feel better when the attention is fixated on us but although behind that Skylar pup, is a human being and so she may be a little girl but to say for her to kill herself for not getting attention. Perhaps speak to her, tell her killing herself isn't the answer for anything nor will it get her anywhere.
I understand you got annoyed by offering to RP with her then she just said for you to make her, that makes no sense. Why beg to RP then when you're asked too, you act rudely to the person who's doing you a favour and being kind but also, you could of gone around this. She's probably just a child needing some friends, we all need someone at the end of the day. Instead of ignoring her you could of chose to tell her you were not simply in the mood to role play and could of directed to her a place where she could of found someone to RP or even a group. We've all been on FH, starting out and being lonely. We all need someone.
