Why so many celebrities are so unhappy?

Question

I know money doesn't make the happiness but I just wonder how come so many wealthy and famous people get so down.And there are really a lot of them.

Answer 1

I always tell others that there is no such thing as glamour but the illusion of, and only those looking at will see the glamour not those that are playing the role. If you are a believer that you are on top of the world with money and fame, and you get sucked into a false sense and your reality doesn't match it. Everything in the false world that you longed for and want to believe revolves viciously fast and viciously cruel. Everyone wants your money and doesn't really care about your true well being or who you really are. You try seriously hard to keep in time with the fictitious life and you don't quite have the strength to keep going. Drugs and alcohol lurks, gossip magazines prey, your sanity spirals. Why didn't people tell you that the business is a dog-eat-dog world? So big that now you can't go anywhere without being recognized - isn't that what you wanted. No, really you wanted to have your cake and eat it too - the glam, the fame, the money, the peace and quiet, always on top, no negative things said about you, no scams, real friends, etc.

Just an illusion you find out. Broken heart, broken mind, you're not strong enough to handle this. So much expectation and obligation - caught up in a trap.

That's enough to make anyone unhappy. Think you can handle it?

Answer 2

Well first of all... regular people, not celebrities, are unhappy as well. It's just that not EVERYONE knows about it, since they're not in the public eye like celebrities. People can be unhappy because of many, many things. Like being poor. But those poor people aren't plastered on every magazine, billboard, newspaper or tv show. But to get back to celebrities being unhappy.. it happens very often. Their lives are put out in public.. everything they do, don't do, or even think to do - is all out in the open. This, of course, can get very, very frustrating and overwhelming which then leads to unhappiness and depression. Humans need a balance between too much of something and too little of something. I guess that would be the best way to put it? Balance is key.

Answer 3

Because money does not and cannot buy real happiness or real love. I feel so bad for those who entertain us so, and once they get their faces on camera, well, it obviously blows up their ego like an inflatable rubber mannequin doll. I am actor, but I don't put it out there because life has taught me what happens when you put your life in the circle of worldly entertainment. I would be a clown to cheer up all those over blown egoed celebrities, but it wouldn't do any good because clowns are not what celebrities are looking for, the celebrities are looking for the end of the rainbow which they'll never find cause really, there is no pot of gold there, no no, there is nothing there but toxic waste, pollution and global warming and hunger and disease and here today, gone tomorrow, they're all on the same highway as all of us are, the highway to hell! Wow, what a speech.

Answer 4

Well, sweetie. Here's a life lesson.. Money isn't what makes people happy. And to tell you the truth, if I had paparazzi following me and annoying little screeching fans coming up to me while I'm out in a restaurant wanting me to sign their foot, I would be unhappy also. Not all celebrities are unhappy though.

because they have zero privacy. i'm sure even normal people would feel the same way if they had to get out of the house and go about their daily routine with hundreds of people following you around flashing their cameras at you and the next day you have to see yourself in a newspaper in the most compromising situations. it's just not the normal way of living.

Answer 7

Cause as the song goes, "It's lonely at the top"

As well as the way to (this, specifically) top. Because on the way they have to compromise, hide their true selves, live according to austere star system rules. Antagonism and desire to stay on the spot light as long as possible, breaks them down easily.

Answer 8

sometimes people just need to be alone even if there far away in a different contry to be anyway they are still followed.

Answer 9

no privacy
