Idols can be sports and show business stars, big businessmen and acquaintances. The desire to be like them in everything can negatively affect the development of the personality, and this applies to both adults and children.
Instructions
Step 1
Determine how much you like this or that person. If you just admire his success and would like to see the same perseverance in yourself, to adopt his best qualities, then you should not worry. This desire is fully justified and can only push you to achieve your goals.
Step 2
If you do not miss a single program with the participation of your idol, read all publications about him, try to completely copy his appearance, demeanor, style of speech, then you should think about whether you have crossed the boundaries, beyond which blind admiration for someone else's life begins …
Step 3
Ask yourself what exactly attracts you to your idol. Be extremely honest with yourself. If you like his condition or popularity, admit it to yourself. Think about whether you are ready to admire other people's achievements all your life instead of striving for your own heights.
Step 4
Consider your idol from all sides. It is almost impossible to meet a person without flaws. Pay attention to the negative aspects of your character. As soon as you understand that he is the same ordinary person, like you, you will be much easier to relate to him.
Step 5
Limit the amount of time you spend watching TV and reading information about your favorite star. Find yourself a new hobby. Do something that you enjoy. You must understand that your life is much more interesting and voluminous than just copying another person.
Step 6
Every time you notice in yourself an excessive interest in one person or another that goes beyond the normal, ask yourself if this person is really good enough to sacrifice himself and his time for meaningless worship.
Step 7
Think critically. This will allow you to take a more sober view of celebrities and the world around you in general.
