Why are some people afraid to be judged by society regarding only some things?

[Rev. Rye]

Thank you for your answer. What kind of personality do you think one needs to have in order to be able to handle being famous?

Ehh, that's a really good question. I think for someone to really handle being famous they have to:

be eccentric
enjoy being the center of attention
be drawn to a fast-paced/intense lifestyle
be incredibly hard workers
be very sociable

Then again, there are probably relatively normal people who adapt to being famous without having all of these traits. I think to be any kind of high-level achiever you have to be pretty eccentric though, especially in show business. There are probably plenty of people too who are exceptions to all of these and maybe truly don't like being famous. I think it's a very weird thing for a human to be as well known as, let's say, the likes of Brad Pitt or Leonardo DiCaprio or Meryl Streep and it's not surprising that some of these celebrities are so out there.

Or generally be sociopaths. Then again, that might actually cover at least two (possibly three or more, depending on the type of sociopath) of those criteria you listed. Then again, perhaps that could be more related to power than fame, but, honestly, the two (or three) tend to go together shockingly well. From Weinstein to Trump, 2017 has proven that beyond the shadow of a doubt.
