Knowing that no one cares whether you live or die. The saddest part is knowing that you won't be remembered. I feel that if you know that you serve no basic purpose on this Earth than to waste space than maybe your life isn't worth living. Sorry if I offend anyone but my greatest fear is being a mediocre person, someone without value.
And you are?
I have never understood the culture of celebrity. Generally famous people have one area of expertise :EG science, sports,pop music,acting, serial murder.OR for 15minutes, reality TV. OR worse; vacuous skanky molls like Paris Hilton, famous for being famous. People remembered for more than a generation are rare.
After the last person who knew me dies it will be as if I've never existed. I could not care less. My sense of self worth comes from within and to a lesser extent,from the opinions of people about whom I care deeply.That is a very short list.
How to be extra ordinary:
Stop whinging and wasting your time on internet forums.
Find ONE THING about which you are passionate. Focus on that one thing, work your arse off and learn to promote yourself.
With a LOT of hard work you may go from being a boring and shallow human being to being a rich and famous boring and shallow human being.Unlikely you will be any happier or like yourself any more.
I saw this on a tomb in Pompeii:
