383. Inexplicable Behaviour
Whenever someone appears to act against their own interests, it could be because they no longer care or it could be a desire (conscious or unconscious) to fail or it could simply be attention seeking.

260. Doing and Attention Seekers. Extremes of Greediness
The world is full of people who are determined to be somebody or to give trouble; they seek attention. Do not become one of them.
One who tries to stand on tip-toe cannot stand still.
One who stretches his legs too far cannot walk.
One who advertises himself too much is ignored.
One who is too insistent on his own view finds few to agree with him.
One who claims too much credit does not get even what he deserves.
One who is too proud is soon humiliated.
These are rightly condemned as extremes of greediness and self-destructive activity, therefore, one who acts naturally avoids such extremes.
