I tend to analyze behavior from the standpoint that it's always an attempt to get a need met. Not a want, but a need...needs are things we die without, food shelter,and lastly (and most elusively) LOVE! theres a big difference between attention and love, like two cups,one with a bottom and one without, sadly, many people have never really known real love and so are taking what they can get from people, we see the manifestations of this everywhere! Modern psychology tries to convince us to love ourselves but can we really do that? Given what we really are on the inside? I can't... I'm a "mistake maker" and some of them are HUGE! sorry for the rant...it just touched a nerve
