Is it awful I want to be famous?

Question

t seems I changed a lot in this last year. Before I turned 22, I was very private and I was even against getting myself known because of all the scrutiny. But lately, I have been feeling the exact opposite. The reason is I've gotten a lot of surgery on myself and I feel on top of the world. It's gotten to the point where I crave attention and I feel empty and depressed without it. I feel even more useless because I go on forums like IM DB and when someone criticizes a celebrity there's always one person who says "At least they are out there making someone out of themselves. I bet more people in one state know of ____ than everybody in the world knows of your meaningless existence." So that comments make me believe if I'm not famous for something, people see me as a nobody and almost useless to the world. I feel like it is my duty to make myself known somehow. I probably have Narcissistic disorder because I fantasize about people talking about me and looking famous quotes up that I said. I've even been making my own quotes up in my head to say one day in an interview or some sort. Plus, when I got all my surgeries, I changed my name and I am starting to use a slight different voice and make up a different life story about mysel

Answer 1

Yeah, I feel that way sometimes. Nobody wants to feel invisible or useless. but we can't all be famous, that's not how the world works.. Obviously god or whoever created us doesn't feel that we all have to be famous to be worthwhile cause not everybody is a celebrity yet they are still important to life and the world.. The focus of life is to do the best you can at what you are good at and the rest will fall into place. So those people saying that you are worthless if you're not famous are full of crap.. The only thing worthless is if you don't use the skills and talents you were born with to contribute back to the world..

Answer 2

dude, as I am not a famous person, my family has problems remembering my birthday, i dont know from experience. however, thinking about the matter; i would say it may have its pros and cons. being known can be quite intimidating and intrusive. for one, actresses and actors have been followed, to word it mildly, by photogs all over the place. these people cannot scratch their butts without having someone take a picture and plastering it all over magazines and the internet. then, everything that these individuals do is being scrutinized by the masses. if an actress gains weight or if they do not look "presentable" on any given day, everyone and their mothers has to give their unwanted opinion. it's like gaffe are permitted when you happen to be a famous person. diplomacy is no longer implemented. now the positive side effect to this, i suppose; would be the freebies that actors are given. the high pays for practically doing nothing or very little input. traveling to luxurious and exotic locations for free or close to being free. not to mention that even if an actor happens to be bad looking, he or she still gets to date insanely good looking people just because of whom they are.

i guess, you'd be the judge on this topic

Answer 3

yes, you used surgery to make yourself prettier because you didn't have the skill to do it on your own. ill be looking for you on the cover of a hustler magazine once and then laugh as you fade into nothingness



but if you want help go speak to a psychiatrist



edit: If you are so classy then why did you get surgery? pretty sure those actors made it on skill alone

Answer 4

Don't listen to those jackholes seriously!!!

Everyone, I don't care WHO you are, everyone dreams about having at least 15 minutes of fame, whether it's in showbiz like you want, or discovering a new species, or a cure to some disease, or a new mathematical proof, or whatever it is...

I was a model in the most critical part of my life (13-16) and it was very hard but I am thankful for my experiences, most girls would love to get paid for people to fawn over them and dress them up and take pictures!!! Of course, as long as you don't let them dress you down for it if you know what I mean...

but in all honesty if you want to be in skin mags it's your decision and I doubt you will achieve the kind of fame you are seeking...but alas there is a market for that and they typically favor girls with surgery, no offence but if you have large fake breasts you kind of limited your modeling options BIG TIME...



but in all reality there are what 6 or 7 billion people in the world and how many of them do you know are famous...not too many I'm assuming. It's all about what kind of a difference you can make in every individual person's life...when you start to think on the smaller scale than you expand on it later :)



You sound like you NEED to watch this movie as soon as you can, very uplifting for people with self confidence issues:

Answer 5

I think you should speak to someone about this issue 'cause it does seem to be bothering you. If your just dreaming, having fun and stuff then it's alright 'cos everyone has the right to live their dreams but since you are hurting yourself in a way...it does seem a bit worrying.

Answer 6

You have no self esteem so u need approval from others, thats why u got the surgery. And I'm sure there is self-centeredness in there too.

Answer 7

you might have borderline personality disorder, i do and i have no sense of identity, sometimes i make up stuff about myself too. i wish i had the money for surgery :]

Answer 8

yes shame on you

Answer 9

THEN GET THE **** OFF YOUR *** AND AUDITION FOR SOMETHING
