(Not to be
confused with the ubiquitous attention-seeker)
By Rachina Ahuja
1. Be an attention-seeker(What? Every self-respecting drama queen has
to be an attention-seeker to start with.) It’s easy, just make every
conversation/situation about yourself. For example:
A:
Ouch, I just accidentally cut my finger off!
DQ-
Oh no! I can’t stand blood! *faints*
2. If there is no occasion to talk about yourself, talk about your
possessions or your boyfriend, or your dog, or your fingernails! Be creative!
3. Remember, you are always the victim, the persecuted and the
unfortunate.
4. Also, remember, nobody in the world understands you. When in doubt
use “You won’t/don’t/can’t understand!” freely.
5. Cry. Cry loud and long and if no one hears
you, tell them about it! Follow that up with long explanation of how you’ve
been wronged(see 3) and if that fails, make a dramatic exit (see 4).
