Anyone ever notice that people who are famous go crazy very quickly?

[DivineZero]

It seems to me that people who are famous end up going crazy and it usually happens very quickly. They end up have psychotic breaks and shit or do drugs and use sex to try and Handel it. Most burn out but some figure out coping mechanisms if they can survive for long enough. Seems like we aren't built to handle that much energy directed at us on something?

No I didn't realize it but your right!🤯

Yes I did realize it and I aspire to empty trash for a living😂

What are you talking about?

[Anonymous]

Yes. I think it's the pressure of performing.
I wish someone would tell them that. It's something to be careful about before they are in too deep.
Privacy issues would be very stressful too.
I see it in their art. Everytime a new artist comes out, specially in the music industry, they start with sweet and beautiful music. It is the reason they become popular in the first place. Then it starts drifting towards lonely music or sad. The final stage is whem their music starts becoming all about sexiness, and it becomes serious and/or angry. Then they start losing their popularity. A while later you hear about them ending up in rehab or doing crazy things.
I feel sorry for them

[DivineZero]

Hmmm good point maybe ots sort of like isolation where everyone they are around aren't people that can't be real. So self neglect and the dangers of being out and public and having things that others want...🤔

[purplepoppy]

I think it's more a case of if your rich and go crazy you can do more damage than a poor crazy person.

[DivineZero]

I'm more so talking about the effects of fame. Thank you for your input though😁

Being crazy is a prerequisite of working in the creative industry. And if you don't have a strong will, it will make you go totally crazy. There's drugs everywhere (psychedelics can make you go crazy permanently) it's incredibly competitive and there's a lot of pressure to make deadlines and do things better than everyone else but I think most people go crazy from being exposed to bad people. Specifically two-faced liars.

There's a lot of amazing people and from what I can tell it's getting better, I personally haven't seen too much orlf the worst first hand, but I've had some brushes and so have a lot of my friends/mentors.

At its heart, it's a cutthroat industry

[DivineZero]

I disagree entirely about the prerequisite thing entirely. I do get what your trying to describe though psychopaths gravitate to places of power. I think it's more so run ins with dark people who want to influence. Pressure and and competing don't bring out craziness per say but you do have to utilize more of yourself so if it's inside you already. It should make it come out. You can also go crazy and have psychotic breaks and breakdowns which have nothing to do with you being crazy already. Competing and pressure bring out the best out in you unless you've already had dark influences.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

I agree with your sentiment. What I meant by crazy is that to work so hard to be good enough at something in this industry and kinda roll the dice with your life, surround yourself in stressful environments and people, not even knowing how it's all going to turn out in the end, youd have to be at least a little crazy.

Photographers, dancers graphic designers, even producers, these jobs don't come with security or even a garuenteed that you'll be successful even if you're the most talented person.

Some people, it drives them crazy for sure. But I think for those of us that do well, we came into this a little nutty to begin with haha. And that's why it doesn't phase us as much.

Me personally, I remember telling my mom when I was about to go to college that I'd rather live under a bridge than give up on my career.

[DivineZero]

Well I'm glad you don't give up and I pray you will accomplish your goal and feel the feel weight of what you've accomplished😁

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Thanks man! I'll definitely remember what you said, I feel like I know what you mean a little bit.

[joeldalton]

Imagine being given more money than most people will see in 100 lifetimes, be idolized for almost everything you do, and never be told "no".

[DivineZero]

Exactly!😆 it really should be and feel like freedom but it doesn't seem that way. It gets dark quick for those people. I wonder why🤔

[joeldalton]

well that's exactly why. Being told 'no' keeps you in check. we stopped saying 'no' to children and now we're supposed to accept that they identify as dragons

[DivineZero]

Lmao you are hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣 yes I think you do have a significant point there. How much of social norms guide people and keep them safe from insanity.

[ArrowheadSW]

Has a lot to do with having no privacy. They can't go anywhere in public without being noticed.

[ArrowheadSW]

It also has to do with pressure to keep performing to keep up with expectations. Like a singer having to keep coming up with new songs, etc.

[ArrowheadSW]

For example, Elvis Presley was one of the most famous people in the Western world by the time he was say, 23. After he got out of the army, he was pressured to continue at the pace he was at before the army, and to perform in all of those movies. I think if he was able to work at a more moderate pace he would have been better off. There was too much on his shoulders. All of the expectations for concert appearances, etc.

[Guy13]

For sure or eventual suicide

[DivineZero]

Yea although I'm not sure if the suicide is purposeful or its just you seeking a good time and you don't realize how sketchy drugs can be because everything is so good.

[Guy13]

Empty gaping hole inside that they don’t know what to do with…and the hobbies did not fill that space…

[Avicenna]

It does seem to be common

[exitseven]

I think they are a little nuts to begin with.

[DivineZero]

I dont think so. They have a deep want like anyone else but there's definitely something going on

[exitseven]

@DivineZero Yes, there is something going on but there is a little crazy too.

[epictetus455]

Give an Example

[DivineZero]

Let's say Logan Paul after the Tokyo thing people thought he was crazy but he was not always like that. Famous people act weird so much so they tend to learn how to act. There are very few people who are famous and normal people. Large amounts of attention changes people significantly over tine
