Just because a person has a great interest in a celebrity doesn't make them schizophrenic...
When you have a crush on someone and you try to find out their hobbies, their interests, their phone number (to call them), does that make you a stalker?? Could you just be really interested in getting to know them? If so, what's wrong with that?
When a person tries to contact a celebrity, we, as a society, always view it as "stalker" behavior. But if trying to contact a celebrity is stalker behavior, shouldn't it be "stalker" behavior when someone tries to contact me?? I mean, it really depends on how you define "stalker." If someone is rummaging through your garbage can, following you around with binoculars and such...then yea, you may have a stalker problem. But if someone contacts you and wants to hang out, what is stalkerish about that?? It may be a nuisance to a celebrity, but I don't think that is stalker behavior.
Now yes, there is the occasional "lunatic" who crosses the line and threatens celebrities and such. Now, THOSE people would be the ones who would have some kind of a psychological disorder. But the same thing happens with 'average' people. Stalkers stalk all kinds of people, not just celebs. So it is not celebrities, or the victims of stalking, that cause it. It's not like Hilary Duff did something out of the ordinary to increase her "stalker" appeal. It is solely the personality, or mind, of the person stalking (often, stemming from childhood).

Nobody can turn anyone else into a stalkers. Stalkers choose to be criminals.
There are different types of stalkers with different kinds of motivations and psychological profiles. None of them are "turned into" stalkers by anyone else.

No. The stalker has some mental problems.

No, they cannot. If a person does become a stalker, chances are they already have some underlying psychological issues, such as schizophrenia.

i think of the difficulty approximately obsessing over celebrities that captivates human beings to attain this, is the reality that even although in society, you would be seen a "stalker" to obsess over somebody you be attentive to, it is extra straightforward to obsess over somebody you be attentive to you may not have. there is likewise the project and the human nature to prefer issues they could't have. it is like a 17 365 days previous who's prepared approximately Justin Bieber. even although you will on no account be attentive to in the event that they're somewhat "in love" with them or merely obsessed, you may on no account get rejected. wish this enables :)
