Really, who does not like self-exacting. If he can become famous as the author – he wrote, as if the businessman – he is doing business. He move from one field to another with ease and without remorse because of all that he attended with confidence, with confidence that the bar he must (and deserves to) get famous.

He values the activities and hobbies are not in accordance with the pleasure they gave him – but according to the utility: they can or can not they make him known, and if so, where is. Narcissist who is one of the songs careful (not to say obsessive). Ni world of black (which is unknown and deprived of attention) and white (the famous and celebrated).

Mistreating Celebrities – An Interview

Given to Superinteressante Magazine in Brazil

T. Fame and TV shows about celebrities usually have a lot of viewers. This is understandable: people want to see other people succeed. But why people want to see celebrities who humiliated?

A. As far as their fans are concerned, celebrities emotionally fulfilling two functions: they provide mythical narrative (the story that the fan can follow and identify with) and their function as a blank screen to which the fans project their dreams, hopes, fears, plans, values, and desire (wish fulfillment). A little deviation from the prescribed roles provokes great rage and makes us want to punish (humiliate) the “deviant” celebrities.

But why?

When the human foibles, vulnerabilities, and frailties of a celebrity show, the fan feels humiliated, “cheated”, hope, and “empty”. To emphasize the value of its own, the fan must make its moral superiority over sin and the “sinful” celebrity. The fan should be “teaching lessons celebrity” and shows the celebrity “who’s boss.” This is a primitive defense mechanism – narcissistic grandiose. It put the fan in a position equivalent to the exposed and “naked” celebrity.

T. This feeling to watch people who have insulted something to do with the attraction to catastrophes and tragedies?

A. There are always very happy and is not reasonable in the enchantment suffering. Being spared the pains and tribulations others through making observers feel “chosen”, secure, and virtuous. The higher increase celebrities, they fall hard. There is something gratifying in hubris defied and punished.

T. Are you sure you put the audience in the place of the reporter (when he asks for something embarrassing to the celebrity) and become in some way revenged?
