I don't see what is so unusual or worthy of being distressed about, with people seeking attention. I mean, do we ourselves seek attention? If so, why? Isn't it because we feel the need, some lack, something that we need badly but don't believe that we can get? And how easy do people here find it to change? Don't we find it quite hard, something that has to be worked at, something that takes a long time for us? Why should it be different for other people?

That doesn't mean that when we understand why other people act the way they do, that we have to turn ourselves over to them or feel we must satisfy their every need, right away...
