keep telling yourself that "i'm a diva!"

Do your friends ever do something that makes you want to give them a bit of a shake and wake up call?  I hate it when people are obviously looking for attention and affection, as if the number of tweets or likes/comments on a facebook post indicates level of affection.  After studying the personality disorder classification in psychiatry revision properly and in depth, it made me link them with people I know, just so I can remember them a little bit.  I tried not to do it, but the traits reminded me of some people I know.  Anyway, I am not entirely sure what I want to say.  It's obvious what is going on, they're going through a rough time, they don't love themselves as much as they could, they're reaching out a lot and getting rejected and therefore more hurt and are unable to lift themselves out of it easily.

It's not because I have any malicious intent at all, it's just distant concern for them.  I don't think it is my place to do anything, because I am not as close to them as other people are and thus advice from me may notbe as useful as it would from someone else.

Maybe it's just down to insecurity.  We each have our own insecurities, and maybe this person just feels like they might be defined by a relationship, and that they need someone else's affection to feel like a whole person, because their general situation isn't so fun.  Just because I have a boyfriend, that doesn't mean I have no insecurities.
