Do you think it's a little creepy that so many people just want to be famous?

Question

Regardless if they have any passion or talent for the arts at all? I think it's a little creepy. I think it's a poor reflection on how the media has influenced so many people into accepted a lifestyle that is far from normal. I mean I love acting and music and the arts and I would LOVE to get into the business (probably never gunna happen though), but in no way to just want to be famous.

Answer 1

If people have talent, they want recognition and fame. If they do not, they want reassurance of their self worth and need fame to qwell their insecurity. Either way, fame can make a ton of money. Fame comes at a price, but it's up to an in individual to choose if it's too high. I applaud your perspective and your seeing the big picture. Good luck in whatever you do!

Answer 2

As Mr. Antolini so aptly noted in J.D. Salinger's "The Catcher in the Rye," the need for recognition is the mark of immaturity. These days, people are too stuck on themselves and don't realize that the path to fame is the road to unhappiness.

Answer 3

It does seem like a lot of people want to be famous, but that is the last thing I would want.

Answer 4

I agree with you, now the kids when asked what they want to be when they grow up, they dont say a singer or dancer or an actor...they say I wanna be famous.

Answer 5

Yes, its creepy. I don't know why anybody would want to have people fanatic about them. I like my privacy, thank you very much.

Answer 6
