Being famous has to weigh on you

For those who are famous, like celebrities, sports stars, musicians, etc I imagine they go through a lot of stress being famous. I imagine most stars out there get anxious and deal with their share of depression or other conditions. I can't imagine what it's like to get hate from fans and non fans. I can't imagine what it's like to be followed by fans and to be followed by people like the paparazzi. I know it sort of comes with the territory of stardom, but I don't think people should live in fear, even if they are a famous person.

I know some celebs deal with social anxiety, like Bill Hader, who you may know from Saturday Night Live and the hit show Barry. Supposedly he had a lot of trouble getting into character for SNL, to the point he'd get very nervous right before the show.

So yeah, even the famous people are dealing with their own things.
 
Yeah, being famous carries a lot of responsibilities. Everybody wants your attention, and any small mistake, boom, you are in the headlines. I sometimes pity celebs. You can’t even go to the shopping mall or eat whatever you want in a public canteen in peace. It must be exhausting pretending to smile when you’re stressed. To be fair, I prefer my quiet life. Too much fame can make life uneasy.
