Do you think celebrities know what they got themselves into when they decided to become a star?

I mean knowing when they were starting in the business things won't be as rosy as they thought but still they went for it and continue to learn the craft. I mean they know they are public figures and they have to deal with many things if they want to learn to be sane and not become crazy for all the stress that it is involved if you are a known celebrity.

Beign a celebrity the only have its ups and downs for sure but in my humble opinion it has more downs than ups. the only up it has the profession is $$$ and the opportunity to travel around the world and meet and learn new and interesting people and culture, like ordinary people who travel and has money does, other than than the downs are: loss of privacy, crazy fans chasing them, their private lives become public and they have to deal how to handle that and come out intact, criticism from the audience about their movies they are on, if the movie really sucks, eveyrthing they do or dont do are scrutinized., camera flashes here and there, interviews here and there, etc etc It has more downs than ups and many things come unexpected for them.

Do celebs really like that kind of life and still want to keep acting or they better quit acting if they can't handle all of that pressure becaue they know before hand that was the life they were going to encounter once they wanted to become an artist? Here is a link about that and the opinions of some celebs that it seems for them they do not enjoy being a celeb.

For example there are celebs who are active in social media interacting with their fans because those celebs want to do that, noone is forcing any celebrity to join social media that is a personal choice so they have to deal how to handle when criticism hit on social media.

There are other celebs that hate social media and also is a personal choice they dont want to share anything to anyone not even work related on social media with anyone.

Other celebs are very private in their lives and know how to handle being private to the extent of not get out of the house in order for paparazzis not take pictures of them not even in a public street, an example of this is actor Chris Pine, he isknown for being very private actor, he has never been a problematic actor

as far as I know or had bad scandals in his past, he does not have social media (which is great) so the only way he interact with his fans are in public events period like red carpets or awards or TV interviews but never on social media.
