Insecure people
Let's talk about absolute attention whores and this is gender inclusive and neutral simultaneously.
Most precisely the unaware ones. To be absolutely honest. Most people stuggle with some kind insecurity but there are the ones who project it and others who work on it, who consciously better themselves and choose not to make it the problem of everyone.
Attention is currency. People who are so desperate to be seen or noticed will do so no matter the cost and consequence. Some do good deeds to satisfy their need for validation. Others cause chaos to be seen.
Whether it is good or bad attention, they want it. Some desperate people who seek attention are bullies. What about adult bullies? The most desperate out of the stock and the most pathetic kind.
In western psychology, one would blab about how unmet needs in childhood can cause such behaviour. But in african and oriental societies, one would simply say that the only need unmet was one where the subjet's ass had to meet the belt. A good whupping.
When a kid lacks understanding, empathy as well as emotional and social intelligence, it is comprehensible. But when grown ass motherFs do, it's beyond ridiculous. It's of bad taste.
Grow up folks!
