Famous by Proxy: Why We Brag About the Celebs We Met or Saw Somewhere
Have you ever met a famous person that you brag all the time about knowing?
An interesting thing happened to me recently, that related directly to this story about feeling famous by proxy. Although the revelation doesnât change a single thing in my life, nor does it relate to me specifically, I still get excited just thinking about it.
The story Iâm sharing right now starts out with me living in the very last foster home (out of five), that I would ever stay in. This was the home where I finally began having a sense of what happiness is actually supposed to look like.
Famous by Proxy?
Around this period in my life would be the beginning of my very first celebrity encounters and when I started getting what I call âfamous by proxy syndromeâ. I donât know if thatâs a real thing or not, but I know Iâm not the only one who comes down with it.
Plenty of people constantly talk about the celebrities or famous people they know, or maybe I should say they behave like they know, even if it was a minor or brief encounter.
FYI: If you arrived on this page because of the link in my âAbout Me Storyâ, one of the 2 photos I mentioned is the one above. YouâllâŚ
