Conquering fear of famous people?

You realize they're just people, same as you and me.

They spatter spaghetti sauce on their shirts. They blow their noses. They wake up with bad breath and really needing to pee. They are sometimes irritable, selfish, or rude. They suck up to people when they think it'll help them. They ogle girls or guys and have imaginary sex with them. They read old magazines at their doctors' offices. They don't floss as often as they should. They get heartburn when they drink or eat badly. Their athletic socks pill and their underwear doesn't stay white. They're messy at home. They embarrass their spouses or kids. They drink too much. They get lonely and self-pitying. They have erectile dysfunction, athlete's foot, yeast infections, menstrual cramps, diarrhea, sinus trouble, and acne.

I like to imagine someone whose fame level ought to be intimidating, eating an apple and reading a paperback while scratching somewhere socially unacceptable. Just another human animal.

go get to know some of them

🥴 I know the feeling. But... if you watch enough autobiographies, you'll realize theyre just average ppl.

I think its pretty funny my heroine is a hermit.
