Why do attention seekers turn aggressive and lash out when you ignore them or avoid them or don’t put up with their behaviour?

I believe that these are the people that were overly praised starting very early in life (babies).
There was and maybe still is (?) a generation that started around the years late 1990's - 2000 and on that their parents/caregiver praised them for just about anything they did.
If they went poo poo 💩 in the to die the parent (s) would clap and say YAY!! Good girl/boy.
They did this way too much.
I remember thinking that that's not a good idea because what's going to happen when they grow up and they are young adults and adults and they are so used to being praised for most of their life for doing practically nothing and they won't be getting the praise they think they deserve?
No one is clapping and paying attention to them and they are used to that attention and praise and they aren't getting it at work or from anyone.

I believe this is what happens when you have been overly praised growing up.

I told me brother when he had babies not to do that and he agreed 👍🏼💯

Different people are made up of different kinds and they have different needs. Attention seekers seeks attention because it is their emotional needs. And when it does not get fulfilled then obviously they act as any human does feel or act as they do when they don't get what makes them feel comfortable or at ease. Not everyone is mature enough to be understanding enough or to control their self natural evil sides.

It's human natural behaviour to act evil, agressive, etc. By learning ways that how should we behave we act that way.

So when human don't feel ok it's tough to have control over themselves.

Other examples you can see when their sexual needs doesn't get met, when they get tooo much hungry or when they are unable to get proper sleep from days. Then also they do act similarly. They also get violent and agressive even then.

So it's human nature.

Because such attention seekers want to exist in other people's eyes. A bit similar to the sado-massochist syndrom. The sadist needs to see a reaction in order to feel they exist, and the massochist prefers to undergo bad treatments rather than indifference. Both need to feel they exist in some way for anyone else.

Who have you hit this time?

:p
Just kidding.

But like, what if you would be hanging out with people that aren't toxic.
Wouldn't that be a good idea?

Because they lack their own validation within themselves. It stems from their early lives but isn't an excuse to be that way. People who don't or can't recognize how they react to the opinion of others need to stay alone until they can.

[IslaTheWitch]

because they are attention seekers, and you deprive them of your attention...

[jahaims]

Because then they aren't getting what they are seeking.

[WhitneySnow]

I guess because they hate being ignored. Do you know one?

[LEGENDARY4200]

Because it doesn't play into their motive

[FenixG45]

Cuz they need attention and control over others
