If your mommy and daddy reject you when you are young (sending you away to a military school does not show undying love) aren't you more compelled to get their attention and their approbation? Make them be PROUD of you? That need doesn't stop when they die. So all those adults who keep going through loops to please an audience are still those little kids who never outgrew the need for love they were denied. "Look at me mo mommy! Watch what I can do daddy!". Sad.
