Idols can be sports and show business stars, big businessmen and acquaintances. The desire to resemble them in everything can negatively affect the development of the personality, and this applies to both adults and children.
Instruction manual
one
Determine how much you like a person. If you simply admire his successes and would like to see the same perseverance in yourself, adopt his best qualities, then do not worry. This desire is fully justified and can only push you to achieve your goals.
2
If you don’t miss a single program involving your idol, read all publications about him, try to completely copy his appearance, behavior, speech style, then you should think about whether you crossed the line beyond which blind admiration for someone else’s life begins.
3
Ask yourself what exactly attracts your idol. Be extremely honest with yourself. If you like his condition or popularity, admit it to yourself. Think about whether you are ready all your life to admire other people's achievements instead of achieving your own heights.
4
View your idol from all sides. It is almost impossible to meet a person without flaws. Pay attention to the negative sides of your hero. As soon as you realize that he is just as ordinary a person as you are, you will be much easier to relate to him.
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 will give you pleasure. You must understand that your life is much more interesting and voluminous than just copying another person.
6
Every time you notice in yourself an excessive, transcending normal interest in a particular person, ask yourself if this person is really good enough to sacrifice himself and his time for meaningless worship of him.
7
Think critically. This will allow you to take a more sober look at celebrities and the world around you as a whole.
