Defining Terms by Vandana Saxena https://padlet.com/vandanasaxena/DefiningTerms7 Made with fortitude en-us 2017-03-07 06:23:37 UTC 2017-03-08 04:46:11 UTC hello@padlet.com Drama Queen https://padlet.com/vandanasaxena/DefiningTerms7/wish/158240902  A drama queen is a person who habitually responds to situations in a melodramatic way; they always blow the most little, insignificant things way out of proportion.

Normally, people assume drama queens to be similar in nature to divas  but they are actually quite different. A diva is a self-important person who is temperamental and difficult to please and this is true to them as their identity whereas a drama queen is labeled as such due to their over exaggerated actions who thrive on the drama they stir up.

This can be seen translated into a movie called High School Musical where the scene shows Sharpay Evans scream until the whole cafeteria stopped and stared at the commotion when Gabriella accidentally spilled food on her top. 

A real life account of a drama queen was when Kim Kardashian, a reality TV star, lost her diamond earrings in the ocean after being pushed. She overreacted and sobbed as if  she was at a funeral of a loved one. 

In conclusion, drama queens are normally despised but people tolerate them because they become a form of entertainment in their daily lives. ]]> 2017-03-07 06:30:44 UTC https://padlet.com/vandanasaxena/DefiningTerms7/wish/158240902 Wannabe https://padlet.com/vandanasaxena/DefiningTerms7/wish/158241094      Wannabe is a person who wants or pretend to be someone or something else or who tries to look or act like someone.

     People often confuse between real fans and wannabe. There is a huge difference between these two types of people. A real fan supports and respects the idol without trying to be them. A wannabe on the other hand can be a fan but also imitates, dresses up like them and tries their best to copy their idol's personality.

     For example, the 45th United States of America's election. During President Donald Trumps campaign, there were voters and wannabe's. The voters just supported the campaign and voted but the wannabe's dressed up as Donald Trump and also spoke like him. Another example is the wannabe cool kid. One of a friend i have try to act really cool even when honestly he is not. He just makes fun of other people and talks with a really cool accent when he is really not that person.

     The conclusion is, wannabe's just imitate their idol by losing their self personality. This just means that they are not an original.

However, some people do not know the differences between cry babies with Drama queens and Attention seekers. Drama queens are different from cry babies because they seek drama, and attention seekers are different from cry babies because they seek attention. But crybabies cry as it is their first reaction to any minor problem.
   
For example, they whine in minor situations, like uncompleted assignments, or when their outfit doesn’t match their shoe. Also Mama’s boys or Daddy’s daughters, who are highly pampered. Also arguments can trigger cry babies. 
For example, Monica from Friends, becomes a cry baby when anything in the house goes dirty or stays misplaced, and starts shouting at everybody. Or Joffrey Baratheon from Game of thrones who complained everything to his mother, and wanted to be a cranky king.
    Another example is my 15 year old sister who easily manipulate my parents by crying to get whatever she wants.

  So many believed that Cry babies are normally a personality in some girls. Some also believed that it usually happens to the youngest child or a single child. Cry babies are very expressive about their emotions thus, they are sometimes a very sensitive group of people. 
It’s generally refereed to immaturity and not always welcomed. They are usually raised being stubborn as they are used to getting what they want.

"Confidence is silent, insecurities are loud." 

Sometimes attention-seekers are confused with melodramatic. But melodramatic people exaggerate more and are overly emotional. 

An example of an attention seeker can be seen in the childhood fable, “The Boy Who Cried Wolf.” In the story, we follow a young boy who gets enjoyment out of calling members of his village out to "save him" from a fake wolf. When the real wolf actually appears, the villagers are fed up with his lies and choose not to help him, thinking that he is lying again.

Furthermore, another example of attention seeking can be seen within Kim Kardashian. She posed nude for Paper Magazine with the intention of breaking the internet. But, let's not forget how she got famous; her sex tape. Her grandiose wedding TV special to Kris Humphries recieved millions of views, however, she filed for divorce only 3 days after. Recently, she posted on her social media, how she went all the way to France just to have cheesecake. 

To sum up, humans are social creatures, everyone likes to be looked at, talked to and listened to. Humans like validation of worth. But not all people would go out of their way to make this happen. The ones that do, are called attentions seekers.
