Why do i always want to be like somebody else?

Question

Well to start off I'm a 14 year old girl. I go through these "stages" where i feel as if i want to be somebody else, but not just any random person, mostly famous people.

At one stage i EXTREMELY wanted to be and look like Miley Cyrus, so i went out and i bought a plain book with nothing in it, then i googled all the information about her that's possible to get

eg.

how to do your hair like hers

what makeup she wears

how do you your makeup like hers

what clothes she wears

i read her biograpghy

whats her favorite colour

whats her favorite song

and so so so much more its not even funny

I also googled "How to be like Miley Cyrus" and "How to act like Miley Cyrus" and this came up http://www.wikihow.com/Be-Inspired-by-Miley-Cyrus

at the time i basically lived by this, i would search the internet for pictures of her so i got an idea of what clothes she wears, and how she wears her hair.

Then i saved everything, printed it out and glued it into my book.

I even bought real hair extensions, that i no longer use anymore, just to get her long beautiful hair.

I have done this approximately 3 times with:

*Kendra Wilkinson

*Selena Gomez

*Miley Cyrus

I wanted to be like all of them, and for a while now ive been myself. But i went to see "The Last Song" yesterday and i think something triggered it again, because I'm suddenly wanting to be like Miley Cyrus again, not as bad... but still.

It's like i have an identity crisis, and its giving me really low self-esteem about myself.

Because it just seems like these people are all so perfect... and then theirs me.

I really need somebody to tell me what to do, I'm so confused...

please help me :(

You need to grow up, really! I'm sorry but, that's an obsession. Just be yourself and boost up that self-esteem. Kids normally want to copy somebody else when they don't know what's their identity but, you are being too obsessed. You seem a lot like those fanatics that are exactly copies singers and would die for them. God, that's creepy. Think, Miley, Selena and all those girls are just product that sells. They've got fashion advisers, hairstylists, make-up artists, stylists that dress them... They are so far away from being perfect. Miley is coming close to turn into the new Lindsay Lohan with her new red head. She's not that perfect. All those "stars" have a fake life (still a life but, not really the best) and their popularity leads them to crazyness most of the times. People think they are role models and they are so wrong. Why would Miley be a role model? Did she contribute on something huge to this world? She's just an arrogant and pretensious little kid that needs to grow up a lot. And her sense of style, oh god. Fashion icons of these days don't include them. You should see Cheryl Cole, Victoria Beckham, Olivia Palermo, Lauren Conrad, Kate Moss, Katie Holmes, Angelina Jolie, Michelle Obama, Kate Bosworth, Jennifer Aniston, Jessica Alba and Princess Letizia. Those women got style and elegance. That's just my point. If you need some fashion, hair and make up advice, see this websites:

GROW UP! Not to be mean but come on!! You will realize in a few years that those are not real people. They are machines created by the Disney Channel. Honestly, do you think the Jonas Brothers would be wearing "purity rings" otherwise. Be yourself. Not these frauds. They are not real people

Answer 4

Famous celebrities are just superficial people that we admire. If it weren't for our attention they would be nowhere! Money and fame cannot replace happiness nor does it provide any meaning in life.

Answer 5

There's nothing wrong with wanting/looking like Miley Cyrus but you shouldn't try to be JUST like them in personality.

God made you for you so don't try to be someone else ! (:
