"The ego thrives on opposition; it invites criticism and conflict, believing that through resistance, it can assert its existence."

He stirs up trouble to feel important, and that brings the scolding he complains about.
Why this matters practically

- Don’t feed attention-seeking provocation—yours or others’.
