"Attention-seeking behavior can include saying or doing something with the goal of getting the attention of a person or a group of people.
Examples of this behavior include:

-being controversial to provoke a reaction
-exaggerating and embellishing stories to gain praise or sympathy
-pretending to be unable to do something so someone will teach, help, or watch the attempt to do it"
