Being A Crazy Obsessed Fan Of A Certain Celebrity Is Not Healthy.
I am way totally a humongous fan of the Jonas Brothers. I'm going to my 4th concert in 3 days. I don't see how being like me but towards a different celebrity is not healthy, but some people think it is and i want your opinion. Plzz and thanks. :)

Nothing puts you off worshipping celebrities than being around them.

I worked as a security guard back when I was in college and worked about 30 or so concerts. Most performers were civilized, but some of the biggest names (and even small-time bands) were some of the biggest jerks.

Even though most bands were decent people, I quickly became jaded with the idea of meeting anybody famous. It's really not that impressive.

Watch the Chris Crocker "Leave Britney Alone" video on youtube that will give you the only explanation to agree with this debate.

There is a fine line between being a huge fan and being crazy and obsessed, I have learned to try not to cross this line, it will get you in trouble.

It is very common at a very young age that we start liking a particular celebrity, whether he or she is an actor, singer or a player. Choices vary from person to person, but we develop a special weakness for them. Thus in simple word we become their fans, we collect their pictures, posters, wallpapers and many others stuffs like that. But there are a few among us who become crazy about some celebrity and also they get severely obsessed with them. In the due course they forget that they take certain steps or somehow they behave in certain manner which may not be good for them and they may be hurting themselves. It is just that they turn unreasonable when issues relate to the celebrity they like and often they end up creating situations which are unhealthy and in most of the cases harmful.

It's fine to have an interest in a particular celebrity or band, but to be interested to the point where it's all you ever think about is unhealthy. When we're a fan of a particular celebrity or band, we like to go to concerts or keep track of that particular celebrity, but not to the extent where it consumes over 90% of our thoughts.

How obsessed you become with something could depend on your lifestyle. If you lead an active life where you're busy everyday, then you may be less likely to become obsessed with these type of things. If you lead a life where you don't socialise with other people much or you don't have a job, then you're more likely to develop an obsession because it gives you something to focus on.

We all have interests and hobbies that we focus on, but to just focus on one thing and only think and talk about that particular thing and nothing else isn't very healthy. Life is about variety. We need to concentrate on our own lives and be realistic, rather than following the life of a celebrity.

The fact is, celebrities don't even know we exist, so why spend your life putting all your focus on someone who you aren't very likely to meet? Instead, we should focus on the people around us who we can communicate with and build up proper relationships with, rather than someone who is way out of our reach.

I agree that being obsessed with a celebrity is very healthy. It is okay to like celebrities, but it is unhealthy to be obsessed with them. When one gets obsessed with a particular celebrity, they will do crazy things. They will go out of their way to meet this celebrity and do other things that could be harmful to themselves or to the celebrity. Obsession is unhealthy because it becomes such a part of someone's life that they cannot concentrate on anything else but the obsession. It is like an addiction. Anyone who is obsessed with any celebrity should seek professional help because it really is a psychological problem. It is better to be obsessed with life than with a celebrity.

Obsession in all its forms is damaging to ones personality. Obsession is when you develop a liking for something that is totally out of balance and unhealthy. Obsessions towards a certain celebrity can affect the proper development of your own personality as you will probably be too busy copying their style of dressing, talking, walking etc and keeping track of all other activities that they indulge into.

Being obsessed with any given celebrity is not a healthy state of mind. The problem is that you may find that this profound fascination with a celebrity distracts you from your work, career or your studies. It may even have a negative impact on your relationships, if you find that your pronounced interest in celebrities causes you to lose touch with people who are actually close to you in the "real" world.

There's nothing wrong with going to concerts (although four in as many days may be a bit too much), but if you find that your fascination with a celebrity is consuming an ever increasing part of your life and your thoughts, then you should consider making a conscious effort to take your mind off of this.

Don't let the fact that you admire certain celebrities take away from opportunities of advancement, careers and from developing relationships with people in your own life. Otherwise you may find that years from now, when you will have probably moved on from these interests, you will regret all the missed opportunities and the wasted time.

Of course it's not healthy, being obsessed with *ANYTHING* isn't healthy. Going to a couple concerts here and there really isn't a big deal, but if all you can think about and talk about is your particular obsession, you need professional help.
