Fame and recognition can bring unexpected challenges, such as having to explain one's occupation repeatedly and dealing with unwanted attention. These experiences can be frustrating and make one feel like an imposter, even in their own successes. For instance, comedians often face the issue of people not understanding their job or doubting its legitimacy. Similarly, having a podcast or being an influencer can also lead to uncomfortable conversations about one's career and the value of their work. To navigate these situations, it's essential to be authentic and true to oneself, as well as to have a sense of humor about the challenges that come with fame. Ultimately, it's important to remember that everyone's journey is unique, and success doesn't necessarily mean an end to hardships or the need to conform to others' expectations.
