Poll: Is this attention whoring, or just being unique?

[ChocoFace]

yeah, this is just kind of awkward for everyone involved.

Honestly, I would put money on him having a mental disability. Especially if he doesn't seem to notice people looking at him.

You're probably making fun of a kid with autism or something.

Meh. In my school, there are at least 50 goths, a guy who's always dressed in green and a girl who dress like a swedish peasant circa 1800. So I don't think he'd stand out that much

That would be the highest functioning autistic person I've ever seen. Also, after creeping his Facebook and seeing photos of his girlfriend, apparently he bagged the one hot chick that has an irresistible fetish for autism

How about both?

I strangely enough have to agree with this. On one hand, he's just being himself in terms of being outspoken, silly, and weird. On the other hand, trying to be outspoken and weird (especially in terms of dressing up to a law school function as Mr. Fantastic) is kind of attention whoring in a way. There are times when you just have to suit up and realize it's a serious affair

If he is not retarted or really stupid, then he is attention whore for sure.

I'm never going to be a fan of the crowd that likes to call people out for "attention whoring"

Ever since high school, when we had a talk about suicide and the signs to look for to save your friends life. Some ass hole decided he'd be the cool guy. He said:

"If they say they want to kill themselves, they're obviously doing it for the attention! You should just ignore them!"

And the response the instructor gave, and the one that rings in my head whenever anybody uses the "attention whore" god awful excuse is this:

"If you would rather let somebody die than even give them a little attention, then I feel sorry for you"

So somebody wants attention. Is that enough of a reason to hate them? How do you feel when you're ignored?

 

[Ice Car]

Just some attention whore. I'd find it hard to ignore someone like that though...

 

[Magnalian]

Attention Whore, no doubt about it. There's "defying conventional norms of apparel" and then there's this.
