^ histrionic personality disorder may be an answer in some cases. Their self-esteem doesn't come from a feeling of self-worth, their self-esteem is gained by seeking validation and approval. Everyone knows a drama queen.

I don't get the "Do people like me?" "Should I stay?" Threads.
I see those threads as an opportunity to say something nice to the OP, to give them an ego boost, or something. Unless made frequently by the same user, these threads aren't narcissistic and to me seem to be a result of the OP having a tough time in their lives and feel unwelcome or that people are against them on this board, so just need a bit of reassurance or even as a way to bond.

Why the heck is my mom worried that my leg is going to scar?
It's not like I'd participate in any beauty pageants or become some escort for a job at any point of my life. Or ever interested in attracting any person... Or interested to show skin too often.
Also why so concerned? Can't people accept the fact that I'm a reckless person? That I'd still bruise and scrape myself that I simply chose not to care?
Accuse me of clumsiness all they want, doesn't change the fact that I'm not a cautious person.

Why some family movies like to make cats disgusting (like burp or fart) as if to portray that cats are rude and dirty, when actually they're much more clean and elegant than dogs.
That's why I love Disney's The Aristocats, because it shows what lovely animals cats really are.
