Pattern-match:

why do so many people accuse others of wanting attention when the actions prompting it are entirely not focused on other people at all, while they don’t tell people that starting conversations is attention seeking even though it is?

Almost all comments are posted at least in part for the sake of response. What's provocation? In particular, how is it different from nonconformism?
