I believe a person should always ask themselves why they do certain attention seeking things ( desire for fame, adoration) but not just ask, they must answer sincerely. That's where the problem lies, because lying to oneself causes most of the problems. If they say " so people will want to be like me, or tell me how great I am" they'll realize it's a futile goal. Fame should be a byproduct not a goal in itself. I'm 43 and I've noticed that no matter intelligence or talent or looks, ones recognition excluding a few exceptions slowly evaporates. This is why top music sellers from 10 years ago are often reduced to playing casinos in middle America even if their voice is still as good. Getting older is a slow process in invisibility and the key to having everything you want in life is to not want much. A soft bed, good physical health and emotional well being, enough to eat, an occasional dirty joke, a good book, that's good enough. And truth be known, most people just aren't worth impressing even if possible. And impressing people is fleeting anyhow. How many people in divorce court at one time were really impressed by each other? That says all you need to know about impressing people or their approval. It's all momentary
