Another very dangerous thing to do, because you never know. Suicide can also be used as a manipulation by the truly devious. ''I'll kill myself if you leave me'' etc. But it should be noted that both attention seeking and manipulative behaviours usually have roots in some kind of mental or personality disorder, and suicide is always a possibility, even in those cases. Labelling someone as an attention seeker is dangerous - not to be confused with 'attention seeking behaviour', and every human has that to a degree. When it's pathological, it's usually a symptom of a deeper issue.
