Hey guys, this post is rather odd, but i'm very curious about this. I'd appreciate some help. I am a college student with very high ambitions. I strive to be a journalist and I take following my career very seriously. And it has paid off for me since I nailed an internship at NBC News. Now, I'm a normal guy, who doesn't brag or really talk much about what I want to accomplish. I like to enjoy people's company and have fun. I am occasionally posting Facebook pictures of me with celebrities and I have quite a lot of followers on Twitter. I hardly even mention my internship, so please don't think I'm an annoying brat with a future lined up. I'm making a name for myself, or at least i am trying. Now, when I go back home, to the town that i grew up, I feel that people act different toward me. Some friends do not answer my calls when i call them but when i do see them, they act cool and say that they can't wait till i'm famous. Which is odd. Is it normal that people would respond to my self-worth the way they have? Also, is someone with high aspirations and talent come off as unattractive to girls than bad boys that you have no idea what they strive to be? Is the way that I carry myself labeling me as just an unattractive, not cool person? Thanks guys!

    You're fine. People who do not work in the industry have no idea about the entrenchment level of the culture that is quite literally unimaginable in every sense unless you're somehow involved. Keep your true friends super close- they will be invaluable tp you from this point forward, & the best resource for a true perspective of who you seem to be becoming compared to who you used to be, and the vest gauge for keeping perspective that the best you remains. Best of luck - don't get chewed up or become a monster. I mean that with the utmost sincerity.

    There's nothing wrong with you if you aren't a cocky, stuck up braggart. These people are probably just insecure and jealous.

      I got a bit farther, but have no idea what the question at the end is.

    You said, "is it normal that people would respond to my self-worth the way they have?"

    The response people have had toward you is to your success, not your self-worth. They key word here is "self", as in, how YOU view yourself. People can't respond to something internal like your sense of self-worth, only to what behaviour you exhibit externally. The concept of self-worth obviously eludes you. So, how again did you get this internship?

    By the way, your post never once addresses your title. You never mention the way you carry yourself, just your accomplishments. And your title isn't even a complete sentence.

    Yeah, very smart, this one... Maybe your friends resent you because they don't think you deserve your success. Ever think of that?

    In all seriousness though, some people can't handle others' success. Or perhaps they don't want to be seen with you in public in case they end up on the cover of a tabloid. Some people are THAT paranoid. Your true friends are the ones who will be proud of you and happy for you. All the others? Ignore them. They're beneath you. Staying true to yourself as you rise to fame is all that matters. If you're questioning your own behaviour, as you seem to be doing, maybe it's a good time for some reflection/soul-searching before fame has a chance to change you for the worse.

      I hate players and really bad guys....I don't mean "bad" guys....is that all there is? I've never been a conformist, and most of the time success comes with that....so that's everyone now? maybe that's why I'm single?
