Is it normal that I have this sick obsession with death and fame and celebrities. I want to be famous and die young. Its a dream and a nightmare to me all in one.
Sadly, this is desire normal. Those who seek fame usually do it in order to gain a form of immortality and recognition that the "normal" person could never experience. Many psychologists have debated (for EVER) over the relation between the desire/drive for fame and the amount of attention received from their parents during childhood.
Fame makes just another person amongst the billions "special", it puts them up on a pedestal for all to see instead of their existence passing from birth to death with no one but the obituaries taking notice in a sea of generic people.
The desire for attention and recognition for your work and talents is a powerful drive especially in young adults, and more so in some than others. It can also be difficult to suppress even if it's for your own good and to help you reach your goals.
That said, the extremes the author has admitted they are willing to go to are concerning. I would suggest arranging a "real life" appointment with professional psychologist and try and determine if there may be a way for you to reign in your possibly unhealthy desperation for fame to something more reasonable that will actually give you the opportunity to reach your goals without self-destructing and/or causing others harm.
Best of luck to you and your future!
I think it's the media that's making you feel that way. You should try to stay away from any kind of media and celebrity stuff and do some active stuff to keep your mind busy.
Wanting to go out ontop and not enduring trying to make it to the toilet on time. I like it! remember there's fame to be gained in doing great things or terribles things either way gains you fame ;)
you want to be famous AND die young?? whoho your asking for quite a bargin their hmmm you could be the first person to be in a movie called "i want to be famous and die young" and at the end of the movie you kill yourself(as part of the movie!!!!) and "disappear" from the earth in real life (hide somewhere for like 4 years). not only would it cause the mystery of "what happened" people would believe you died young and then when you come back out you can live again as a movie star
The bad thing about fame: You can't escape it. If you went into hiding, and came back, everyone would be all over you again, and alot of celebrities are insecure or sad because they don't have friends. Sure, they have fans, but it's not like they know every detail about them! I never dreamed of being famous.
Let me rephrase myself. I can ONLY see myself being famous. My life is centered around the fact that I will either be the Next American Idol or the Next Brad Pitt. Butt I will be dead @ 50.
it wood be fun to see ur name in the bright lights and be rich popular famous
