It is the term for a person who will take ANY attention, good or bad, just so long as they are being acknowledged as being alive. Very pathetic, but it does describe trolls effectively.

I guess I should know this - I have a bachelor's degree in psychology and worked in the field for a time. But that was way back in the 90s lol.
A better description would be helpful but probably narcissist. I had the misfortune recently of getting to know a flaming narcissist a little bit too well.

BTW - off topic but did you recover from your double pneumonia??

-Teresa

My BA dates from '97. Only used to examine motivations of political and military figures in WWII. 

The pneumonia seems to be taking advantage of my interstitial lung disease to hang on tenaciously.
