Madness


Psychoanalytic Theory 
posits that Narcissism is related 
to attention-seeking behaviour. 

In The Theory, 
an excessive need 
for attention or admiration 
is termed narcissistic supply.

A 2019 study on adolescents with narcissistic tendencies and the use of social media explores this relation between Narcissism and attention seeking behaviour. 

In the study it was found that adolescents’ social media behavior was used as a means of gaining acceptance, validation
and attention

The research suggests that 
the need of motives behind 
social acceptance 
mediated the link 
between social media use 
and narcissism

The research also found that attention seeking behavior increases when these adolescents experience social rejection or threats to their ego/self-image.


Henry Irving married 
Florence O’Callaghan 
on 15 July 1869 
at St. Marylebone, London, 
but his personal life took second 
place to his professional life. 


On opening night of The Bells
25 November 1871, Florence, who 
was pregnant with their second 
child, criticised his profession : 
“Are you going on making 
A Fool of Yourself 
like this all Your Life?” 

Irving exited their carriage 
at Hyde Park Corner, walked 
off into the night, and chose 
never to see her again. 

He maintained 
a discreet distance from 
his children as well, but 
became closer to them 
as they grew older. 

Florence Irving 
never divorced Irving, 
and once he had been knighted 
she styled herself “Lady Irving”; 
Irving never remarried.
