Would you want to be famous? Why would someone want to be?

I would hate to be famous I think, especially now with the internet trolls etc, the lack of privacy.
I would like the money, but not to be famous.

Is there something about people who become famous/want to be famous? Why do they feel the need?

Some people want to be famous for its own sake (apart from the money) because they have shit self-esteem and seek external instead of internal validation.

Money-yes, fame-no.

I would hate it.

I won't buy an omaze ticket because of the publicity requirements for winners

Definitely not, I’m an introvert but even without that I can’t think of much worse.

Absolutely not. Wouldn't mind being fabulously wealthy, though!

I'm with you.

I can't think of anything worse.
