I agree that the context of fame differs on what is being recognised. I think celebrities experience fame on a different level and I agree that fame is dangerous especially for one's mental health. I used to think that if I could be that important, I would be safe.
Nevertheless, I've come to enjoy my solitude. I like being invisible. It's exciting. I think there's freedom in that. I do like attention but only for a few minutes and then it becomes overwhelming. The same with being in a crowd VS having a small circle of friends. I easily get overwhelmed by the idea of having a large house or yard to maintain, especially if it's just me alone. It's scary and unnecessary. I would only want to live comfortably, be financially secure, my independence guaranteed and that I can take my time helping people, studying, travelling, occassionally splurging and equipping my home with everything I need so I can hibernate.
