      Many people are anxious and inhibited because they walk around with a comment section in their heads. Famous people are often driven insane by the sense that they can’t possibly manage the opinions of so many. Social media gives “normal people” this feeling as well.

          It’s a fake Roman on Twitter. It’s a “hic sunt leones” situation inside its skull.

          I could be wrong, but many high-profile crack ups seem to result from stress of feeling judged by the public 24/7. Particularly in image-conscious domains, actors, pop stars, etc. I think people worry a lot about the opinions of others. Friends/family are hard enough. The world?

          and the internet allows people to SEE what others are saying about them (or not saying) at anytime. An approximate measurement of social standing is always visible. Some people are oblivious or unbothered, but I think they’re in the minority, especially among the young.

          Even if it’s true, why would a celebrity admit it? It’s getting more ok to talk about such things, but it’s still taboo if you’re a celebrity. Brands ride on your image.

          Phenomenology. The Paul that occurs for me is Paul. A is A. Should Paul believe the phenom as it occurs to me, Paul is no longer Paul.
