How do I get over the weird feeling of interacting with a famous person?

  • It sounds silly as hell but here's my situation.


    So recently I watched a singing show and I really liked one of the singers. I've watched that episode multiple times and I can't stop coming back to it every day. I got obsessed with that lady.


    So I tried looking her up on Facebook, surprisingly I found her account and she's very popular with 2,000 followers. She posts multiple times a day and each post gets 100+ likes. Of course that's not on a celebrity level but I'd say, popular. I tried leaving a comment saying I appreciated her and what she brought to the show. I didn't expect her to reply because she got a lot of comments already.


    But to my surprise she actually replied. She wrote a long comment saying thanks and asked if I wanted to be her friend on Facebook. Yay! Then after that we exchanged some messages just like how friends talk.


    The thing is, I'm going through a weird kind of feeling now. I don't know if I'm being naive or something, but I didn't expect to actually interact with a famous person this way, especially when it comes to messaging each other on a close level, if you know what I mean. I actually thought she's not real and I can never talk to her. Like imagine being able to text G.Dragon lol (of course she can't be compared to a star like GD, but you got the idea). I feel honored and excited, but at the same time, I can't believe it's happening. I'm afraid I might get too obsessed. I wonder if you ever felt this way?

  • well you like them for their skill, you are not connected to them personally



    just see it that way



    like you'd interact with a good chef or a good painter or something like that

    those the same thing except for singers and such they are idolized a lot more

  • I've interacted with famous people in person.


    This always works for me: Tell someone you will be responsible for doing something for them and start working on it.

  • i've been there. literally going through it rn.


    honestly it never truly goes away but you can really get comfortable after it happens for a longer period of time. i've known him (youtuber) for almost three years now (been a fan for 8), and i still get a little starstruck everytime i see a notif.


    try to humanize them a bit more (remember they're just a human too) and put them on the same level as you. i know it's hard but it makes for easier interactions. ask them about stuff other than what they're famous for, they'll appreciate that. make sure to go slow and steady with these kinds of things, it allows a longer lasting friendship.

    Maybe you misunderstood what I meant? By "them" I mean another person.

    So that will make you more hesitant because you know you can't?

    What I mean is: If you have to take responsibility for taking care of someone else and being accountable for it, you'll forget about other things.
