>>9391599Not exactly the same as ants; but, extremely similar. Even ignoring suicide, dying from social deprivation exists, and is a very real problem in today's society.
Living in complete isolation will cause more damage than l being over saturated in attention. No person can stay completely sane in either scenario.
ALL humans NEED attention. It is required for rational thinking and being able to control one's emotions.
>>9391603It's not as big of a deal as say, literally losing your mind and becoming completely detached from reality.
Having a big ego just isn't comparable to the amount of suffering people with Schizophrenia deal with, for example.
I'm not saying that having a big ego isn't a problem, because it is a problem.
I'll say it again, if having a big ego is the only reason that being an attention whore is bad; why are other things that also cause one to have a big ego not equally as bad?
>>9391631Yes, if every person tries to make it about themselves then nothing gets done. But there has to be a center of attention. There has to be a focus. There will always be a trend in who is getting the attention. One person will get more then everyone. You cannot stop that.
>you could even already be aware of this if all you did was hung out on this board for the last couple yearsYou realize what you're describing is just basic human interaction, right? It's not exclusive to this board, or the internet.
>>9391644Shit, I'm sorry to hear that, Anon.
I know you didn't ask for this, but maybe you should do some introspection and try to learn why you feel the ways you do.
