A different interpretation is that men "want attention" also, they're just more violent.
In either case, there is nothing wrong with wanting attention, especially in a world where there are an awful lot of things telling you that you're inadequate, imperfect, less than other people.
- newswriter99 7y ago>In either case, there is nothing wrong with wanting attention Yes there is. It leads to narcissism and unwarranted feelings of self-importance. If you think that modern social media isn't harming society by funneling straight to people's egos, thus causing the "in a world" situation we're in in the first place, then there's no point trying to debate anything else with you.
- evilotto 7y ago> trying to debate anything First thing you need to do for a productive debate is to make sure you're talking about the same thing. The differences in male and female suicide rates (and methods) is not a product of the social media age; it goes back at least decades. "wanting attention" does not define narcissism, and a cry for help in the form of a suicide attempt is not a demand to be the center of attention. Yes, it can be, and suicide among people with narcissistic personality disorder is a problem too. But there are also a lot of people who feel isolated, ignored, lost who look for any way to reach out. Dismissing those as "just wanting attention" serves no one.
