What compels a person to come to an anonymous imageboard and attempt to craft an identity for themselves, to stand out amongst a crowd who neither has nor needs an identity? One explanation could be that they are pathological attention seekers. While seeking attention can be a normal human behavior, excessive attention seeking may be due to a personality disorder and elicit negative responses from others who have no such need.It suggests that person considers themselves and their need for validation more important than others, and may come across as self-centered, arrogant or narcissistic. It may be viewed as a weakness that elicits an instinctive negative response from people who don't have that weakness themselves. Additionally it might be seen as disruptive, insincere and tiresome if exaggerated drama is the means of obtaining the attention.
i don't get it
>>13140414namefigs suck is the gist of it
>>13140403I've been namefagging for almost 2 years now, on and off. I don't really know why I do it but my best guess is attention seeking even though I never really got any attention from it I think part of me kind of wishes I did but I'm not interesting enough
it's s4s you dip
why is there a namefield and every decides to blatantly ignore it>end of thread
>>13140420Its actually useful if people namefig it allows to filter them
Luckily for anonymous posters, the bar is nonexistent when you’re fucking NOTHING
namers losing their minds at this one
>>13140403Unlike me, hardly anyone is going to recognize me~ Wink*I never showed my emotion through here, and I'm always stoic~ wink*I rarely use the same images here since I'm quite a variety of myself~ wink*Although my writing style is heh, very undetectable~ wink*Your fortune: Excellent Luck
Your fortune: Good Luck
>>13140484This. Filter me if you don't want to see my posts, I don't mind. Much easier than creating namefig drama threads.
>>13140403You're making some pretty drastic (and wrong) leaps in reasoning by asserting that the desire for identity within a community is evidence of pathological attention disorders and excessive need for validation.And the whole post is pretty ironic since you're complaining about namefig drama while creating drama, and complaining about arrogance while being arrogant.
>>13140403>While seeking attention can be a normal human behaviorWhat do you mean "can"? It IS normal human behavior. Humans are social animals.
>>13140403I don't agree with your immediate pathologization. Anonymity versus reputation is actually pretty interesting, and I think you can have valid reasons for both.

Namefigs are completely at our mercy. Anyone can use the same name, and we could destroy your precious reputation so easily if we felt like it
