Why do people do inconsiderate things for attention?

Answer 1

I'm a psychiatric nurse and it is my job to ask people this everyday. some of my patients say:

• because some people get jealous from people that get more attention.
• because some people want to be noticed as they never get noticed and they feel down because of it.
• because they want to treat people bad ways.
• because some people want others to feel sorry for them. (they may be ill or upset and have nobody around)

however this isn't always the case. maybe some people don't want lots of attention but they get it so they have to act like they want it?

also some people may want attention so that they can show off, maybe they do it to be popular.

there are all different reasons why people get attention and not all the time, do they want it.

Answer 2

• Not all people beg for attention and some people prefer to be in the background and that includes people who may have won awards or are famous. Some teens may want attention because they want to fit in with the right crowd and they are awkward about it. Some people who work will do a good job and may want to be recognized for it and yet some do a good job; know it, but are silent about it as they feel fulfilled in what they are doing and are confident enough not to expect a constant pat on the back. People in general want to fit in and be part of the crowd. It's human nature.

Answer 3

People may engage in inconsiderate behaviors for attention because they are seeking validation or acknowledgment. They may believe that negative attention is still better than being ignored. Some individuals may also lack healthy ways to express their emotions or communicate their needs.
