Popular Artists & Friendships

One thing that I notice a lot with both myself & other well known artists I talk to is that you have a fan/follower that tries really hard to fish for your attention & create a friendship. If they realize their efforts didn’t work, they either try harder, passive aggressively reference it, or make a huge scene about how you’re too snobby to notice them.

Behavior like that is obviously unacceptable.

You can’t just ask to be friends with someone, nor can you just simply make them be your friend. Friendship isn’t something that you can ask for as if you’re at a restaurant wanting food. Relationships like that take time to build, it also goes down to how you present yourself. There are people out there that fail to understand this which saddens me. I fully understand the desire of wanting to get to know someone better, especially if they’re someone you admire/look up to but there are limits before you end up making yourself look like some creep or a try hard.
