I think in life, everyone wants to try to fit in - it's a basic instinct of being accepted that drives us to do so. But yet somehow I have this inner feeling of wanting to be known for something good (of course .-.). But yet I don't know what good about me can be used for my urge for people to recognize me. Wanting to fit in but yet stand out - does it become contradicting? Would I be called betraying my own self?

Well, the only reason I can think of of being "famous" is that maybe I'll feel good about myself. Moreover, there'll be people assuring me of that. I mean you can't be otherwise when so many others say you likewise.

Or can you?

I suppose sometimes standing out can be to your advantage, because you can attract certain people's attention without any problems. If you're a tiny little nobody, who would notice you? Right? No matter how exaggerated your actions may be, it'll still be nothing to the other party.

But of course you wouldn't want people to note your every move...
