What inspired me to make this post was the thread on Matt Hardy in WWE, and I wanted to go on a rant, but I think a lot of it doesn't quite fit on topic. It's about attention whores, and their venom in society.
In wrestling, you have to be either loved or hated. And I do have a feeling that Matt Hardy's whole gimmick that he does on youtube is a work to generate feelings of hatred towards him. Now I could be wrong, very easily, but whether I am or not, it's certainly interesting that someone can gather so much venom for being an attention seeker.
Another reason I was inspired by this was a thread on this girl who announced on her facebook that she was going to commit suicide, and people talked about how she was seeking attention. A person was going to die, but it didn't matter, because of the hatred for people who "seek attention".
It seems nowadays that the person who is constantly looking for attention is the biggest heel in society today, or one of the biggest. More particularly on the internet though, which is interesting. The reason being, we have facebook, twitter and the like, where people are looking for attention all the time, myself included. We post how our day goes, we promote things, we post cool self portraits of ourselves and put them up as our status, sometimes being self deprecating in the caption. So, the Matt Hardy thread made me realize something, and Raven brought it up in a shoot. The things we hate most about others are the things we hate in ourselves. To some varying degrees, we are all attention seekers. So, when we see a blatant and over the top example, venom just spews from us, and sometimes we feel no sympathy, or utter distain for people who seek attention by cutting themselves, talk about how sad they are, or even commit suicide. What kind of person would be like that, like, how heartless and cruel.
I had no idea where to post this, because it could have been applied in WWE, TNA, (W)rest and off topic, but the last thing I will say is, if Matt Hardy's youtube gimmick is a work, that man is a genius, for realizing the hatred people have for attention seekers and capitalizing on that.
