You can tap dance around it, change the name to benefit your own opinion but it is what it is. Shrinks have written papers on why people do this....(attention getting being one of them and low self esteem being another reason). But why a person does it is not for me to argue. In my opinion it's a choice you have the right to make...but I also have the choice to NOT have someone with things protruding unnaturally from their face wait on me at applebees or whatever. It's not about being closed minded...it's about personal preference.
