There are some moments in life when we ourselves or that we see people seeking attention, or fish for praises. When we see others do it, we feel annoyed; when we ourselves do it, we definitely do not feel proud of what we do. Ergo, focusing on why people do it, it is this: We just want to be acknowledged, that is all; it is that simple..
There are many reasons to this type of behaviour:
A, they are really THAT good. As much as we hate to admit, she or he is exactly or close to how she or he wants to be portrayed! Say he got complimented by someone or a higher rank, so what comes out of his mouth seems like showing off, when in truth, he just wanted to be looked up to! Say she is loved or chased by a guy, she just want others to know she is worthy to be loved! Is that wrong?
B, they do not get praised much or as much as they deserve. Say one good deed is equivalent to 3 praises, and most of the time, he or she just get 1, sometimes none; so she or he would initiate the topic so someone would say, “Wow, you really are something!” So that she or he can go to sleep motivated, and wake up the other day confident to do things better. Is that obnoxious, to the slightest?
C, it is but a small phase. These people are usually young, framed ‘immature’ by others because they want to be praised, they want to be known. Yet, come on people! We cannot sneer at people just because we think we are nobler or higher! Just because we did not, like them, ask to be praised.. That is how we grow, right? We will someday realise that it is kind of hopeless to want something that others do not willingly give and then stop seeking for attention, but until that day.
D, there is but a part of sincerity, beneath the “It feels so nice that I got it! You know?” Compared to the no-brainers who does not even try, who is lower? Get this, the people who fish for praises wants to be on top! Ergo. Unless of course, the lowlifes who say “I got it even though I did not try..” That I have no say. Besides, for most of these people, they would get seriously shy if you over-praise them!
The bottom line is this, since we are all emotionally grown-ups now, let us just do a little ego tripping if we cannot take it, let us not talk behind their backs and say what a prick they are. They are young and they are smart, so they will learn.
