attribute a person could have; that being said, why would someone need attention that bad enough that they make it a point for everyone to pity them?

I have no idea. Are you speaking of someone in particular? Speaking from experience depression is h***. I DO NOT want any-ones pity or attention. The only reason I mention it is because most people whom have suffered from depression have been treated like pariahs in society.

I personally dont think that it is cool to act depressed. But, people act like that they are to get extra attention. Usually, when you see someone do this they feel insecure and pretend to be depressed so that nobody will notice and they have insecurities. Other people do this because they are kings/queens of drama and have to stand out.

Anyone who has ever had depresson wouldn't agree that it's somehow cool to be depressed. I guess they're not getting much attention any other way. And it's like they say, "any kind of attention is better than none at all."

Well it's a way to get attention when they don't think they're getting enough. I have to admitt that I have acted depressed to get attention from my friends. But only when I acctually feel depressed and lonley.

Pity is easy attention to gain from sympathetic people. I'm sure it's GREAT until people start expecting you to actually do something about your problems instead of constantly complaining.

Maybe sometimes it just makes people feel better about the problems they have to know that there are other peoples lifes out there that are crappy too.
