It doesn't matter whatever you're famous or not, you always got people around you who "love you" and "care for you", what matters for you is your life, more than strangers opinion.
Its a life you gotta face and be able to handle, some people cannot hold it for that long and give up.
Being successful doesn't mean a lot if you reach the top of the mountain, yes, you get to feel the success, being excited and all, actually forgetting about the pain and trouble you had before, but eventually, at some point in life, it becomes the norm for you and you come back to your normal life where you think about your life status again and then everything you had and didn't solve, comes back again.
This picture is actually very logical and I many times thought about it, thought about what my life would look like if I'd be successful and talked with many different people and saw different documentaries about rich people's life and I always stumbled upon that, success - doesn't always bring you happiness. Like, yeah at first you're always excited about new great things that happen in your life and you always get to forget the bad things in your life when you feel happy and excited about your life, but that doesn't always stay so, eventually things become normal and that makes you bored and then you start to think about your life, uncovering all the darkest corners.
I must say that, whether life's success rate is at, whether you care about being lonely or having friends and family, being in a company with someone.
Eventually life someday - emotions hit you and that thing that is most important to you, that you care the most about having it, starts to bother you, at first it only bothers, then it starts to pursue you and then it starts to eat you. And the longer it stays, the more it downgrades you.
I have no idea if other people can help, there is a lot of people who try to help such people - who are lost and cannot find a way out, but it might be an impossible mission because some people wish to have love in their life or have lost someone in their life that is really important to them. Many people who are successful and have found a pretty 20 y/o gold digger to love them, might actually only wear a happy face mask. And many people who have lost someone wish to reunite with them.
Anyhow, seems like it went too long, my point was that success blinds you for a certain time from the problems in your life, and whether your successful or not, what you feel and care about always comes before other people and most probably you don't even think about, like the other people you barely spoke to in your life, it might turn out that they actually care about you, but you don't feel the same about them and therefore their opinion matters less when you take life decisions. (if anything at all)
This is my opinion at least.
