Great post in general, and I particularly agreed with this part:

I don't see what's wrong with wanting validation, either. To some extent, most people do. Can't say I fully understand the need to be internet famous, but it makes me happy when people talk to me, like something I've done or said or compliment me. (So I can understand the “want to be liked" aspect, just not the famous part.)

Exactly. Same here. I have no interest in being famous, either online OR offline. But when I publish something I've written, is it nice to know that people like my writing and enjoy reading my stuff? Sure. It's encouraging and motivating :).

THANKS FOR THE VALIDATION!

But seriously, I don't understand why some people act like wanting validation is such a dirty, unspeakable thing. It's a natural thing.

Like with writing, yea, you might enjoy writing for the sake of writing; getting those creative juices flowing might be a great pasttime, and getting that story out of your head might be a relief and/or accomplishment. But that doesn't mean you can't want comments too. Knowing someone liked what you spent so much time on is a good feeling, and can absolutely encourage one to keep going.

To add on to that, I don't even think it's that bad to want to be famous. I mean if your reasons are awful then yeah, but some people dream of making it big in entertainment, and some people are well-cut-out for that lifestyle. Being "internet famous" might be a smaller version of that but I think it still applies.

Oh, absolutely, I don't think it is either. Oftentimes I imagine it comes from the same places too (wanting to be liked, appreciated, etc), and some people can florish under the limelight. It isn't bad for everyone; some people thrive in it.

Just don't understand it on a personal level, because the amount of scrutiny that comes with being famous would be suffocating for me. I'm also too anxious and easily stressed to want to be the center of attention in the way celebs are.

However, yea, it isn't bad to want attention.

I love being with lots of people and I love feeling needed and appreciated and being complimented, but I think I would hate being famous. Too much pressure not to screw up (something I feel like I do way too easily) and too much invasion of privacy. I'm not even *that* private of a person, either!
