Fame, popularity and recognition seem attractive and desirable to many people, especially if they were not pampered with attention in childhood and adolescence. However, do not forget that public adoration has its drawbacks, for which you need to be prepared.
Not only children suffering from lack of attention dream of achieving popularity, but also many adults and successful people. The glitter of camera flashes, portraits on the covers of glossy magazines, thousands of new acquaintances and tens of thousands of fans seem incredibly alluring and attractive. Unfortunately, public people who have already become famous are often burdened with excessive recognition and attention.
One of the significant problems of popular people is that their fans, as a rule, imagine their idols in a very specific way. This image is the result of the work of stylists, producers, PR-managers, and does not always correspond to the true personality of a famous person. Nevertheless, a popular person is simply forced to maintain his reputation, often sacrificing his feelings and desires.
In addition, fame imposes a certain responsibility on all areas of life. Every step of a truly popular person is watched by thousands of eyes, and it is much more difficult for him to afford what ordinary people get away with. Any mistake or liberty instantly hit the headlines of the gossip, becoming the property of the masses.
In addition, fans and fans for the most part are not at all as pleasant to talk to as they might seem from afar. It is very easy to get tired of constant obsession and attention, but popularity almost does not leave the opportunity to be alone with your thoughts and emotions. We must not forget that human attention must be constantly attracted, because otherwise fans will quickly find themselves a new subject of adoration.
Finally, the personal life of a famous person is not such in the full sense of the word. Rather, it can be called "public", because reporters and fans are incredibly interested in all the details of the romantic and friendly relations of stars, and after all, few close people are ready for a flurry of aggressive attention that falls on them.
Dreaming of becoming popular, do not forget that fame is not only autographs, interviews and photo shoots, but also quite strong stress, which can lead to nervous breakdowns, persecution mania and even death, as in the case of Princess Diana. Naturally, this is an exceptional case, but the numerous attempts of popular people to defend their right to privacy are known to almost everyone, because every such attempt: from refusing an interview to a fight with the paparazzi, immediately goes to press.
