Article: Attention-seeking behaviors can sometimes be a result of trauma, neglect, or other stressful situations. It can also be a sign of low self-esteem or feelings of inadequacy. If this is someone you care about, try to find a time to chat to see if there is something that is causing this behavior. You might start this conversation by saying, "Hey, I want to check in. Has everything been going all right lately?" If the other person doesn't want to talk, they don't have to. You can simply tell them something like, "If you ever do want to talk, just let me know." Your loved one might be worried that no one will care for them if they don't constantly seek out their attention and approval. Let the person know that you will love them, even when you're not directly paying them attention. You might send them a random text that says, "Hey, I was just thinking about you. Hope you're having a great day!" or "I just want you to know how much I appreciate everything you do." You can even tell them something like, "Even if we're apart, you're still important to me." It is important to approach them yourself so that they don't have a chance to try to grab your attention. This will help reassure them that they don't need to resort to drama or conflict to get positive attention. Extreme behavior might manifest as threatening to hurt or kill themselves, locking themselves in rooms, or breaking down over minor events. These are usually signs of underlying mental health issues. The good news is, your loved one can get support and treatment from a mental health professional. You might tell your loved one, "I've noticed that you seemed really upset lately. I love you, and I want to make sure you get the help you need." These behaviors may be a call for help. Try not to dismiss these threats as just attention seeking. They may very well be legitimate. Personality disorders, like Histrionic Personality Disorder or Borderline Personality Disorder, may cause people to engage in extreme attention-seeking behaviors.

Article: The trick to dressing in period style is to understand the trends and fads of that era. So if you're dressing as the Great Gatsby, knowing a bit about the Roaring '20s is helpful.

Great conquerors, presidents, royalty, celebrities?
