Tell me. When does self-promotion become attention whoring? Is there a difference between the two? Are you a fan of modesty or are you screaming from the rooftops "Hey people! Over here! Look at me! Look at me!" Does bragging bother you? Discuss...
Self Promotion becomes attention craving when no one cares about what the person promotes. Some want to legitimately self-promote, but most just need some childish validation. Orphans are prone to this.
