 It's quite possible in this person's childhood that the only time that people paid attention to them was when they were hurt, when they were crying, when they skinned off their knee. Other than that, mom or dad were too busy. They ignored me, didn't pay attention to me. But if I got hurt, well, then they would stop what they're doing and they'd come and take care of me. And so they learned that the only way that they received love was when they were hurt. And so they go around crying.
