He believes any press is good press so he craves the attention when it veers away from him since he has got to be center stage all the time. The hole inside him keeps getting bigger daily. Why?

If this pattern continues he will end up to be one big black hole. What drives the lust/need for attention/approbation 24/7? Is he that unsure of himself that he needs constant stoking and stroking from everyone? Is there some medical/societal/psychological/spiritual/emotional/physical condition that causes it and can he be FIXED or is he so broken he can never be put back together again? Humpty Dumpty?
