Why do celebrities answer very personal questions?

While some celebrities keep their private life private, others talk about theirs quite happily. This baffles the mind of the Pragmatic*who doesn’t understand why anyone would let their private lives be scrutinized in that manner. However, celebrities who like to talk about their private lives are the Romantics*, and it belongs to the Romantics* way of thinking that we talk about our private affairs with practical strangers. When someone refuses to talk about their private lives, we assume they are so boring they have nothing to tell, or that they are secretive, stupid, or just plain criminal – otherwise, why not talk about it?

the Romantics* like to talk about themselves, and they probably like being talked about, too. That’s how they are. However, the Pragmatic*managers and agents will feel TERRIBLE about this talk about their client and try to tell them not to tell the press anything. But the fact is, the Romantics* are people who love to love people, who love to admire people from afar (without getting weird about it in the Romantics* manner of speaking), and who love idolizing people. Therefore, they also want to know about the celebrity as a person – not to judge or to mimic them but to check their values match those of their own, and to feel a connection to the celebrity – not meaning that in a weird way. It may feel weird, almost insulting to a Romantics* to be told not to talk about their lives as if it was only a matter of time before they’d say something so shameful their career would be over. But, the truth is, a celebrity who doesn’t talk about their private lives will NEVER become adored, particularly not by the Romantics*. They may still be admired, but in a cold kind of way, and it kind of takes the fun out of the whole thing for fans as well as the celebrity themselves.

An Romantic* quite authentically feels that if people don’t ask them questions, they are not interested in them, and if they’re not interested, then that means they’re not really… An interesting person. Maybe not talented enough, or maybe not worth listening to, but it’s truly quite an insult to NOT ask a Romantics* to answer questions or to not talk about them in a positive manner. The Pragmatic* will think everybody understands that people ‘prying’ or ‘snooping’ or even only ‘asking questions and being curious’ is such a negative thing that anyone would want to avoid it, but the Romantics*, normally, tend to go way deeper into their personal thoughts with a complete stranger than the Pragmatic*dares to do with their psychiatrist.

the Romantics* feel no shame in being who they are, having issues, and being a bit unusual, quite the opposite. They think “normal people” are deathly boring – normal as in usual, common, people who never talk about anything interesting; as in their private and even intimate lives.
