Fame, popularity and recognition seem attractive and desirable to many people, especially if they were not spoiled by attention in childhood and adolescence. However, do not forget that public adoration has its drawbacks, which you need to be prepared for.
To achieve popularity dream not only children suffering from a lack of attention, but also many adults and established people. 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 by 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 far from always corresponds 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 spheres 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 falls into the headlines of the secular chronicle, becoming the property of the masses.
In addition, fans and fans for the most part are not at all as pleasant in communication as it might seem from afar. It is very easy to get tired of constant obsession and attention, but the popularity almost leaves no 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 the stars, and after all, few close people are ready for the flurry of aggressive attention that falls upon them.
When dreaming of becoming popular, one should not forget that fame is not only autographs, interviews and photo shoots, but also rather severe stress that can lead to nervous breakdowns, the occurrence of persecution mania and even death, as is the case with 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 gets into print.
