The article discusses the challenges surrounding personal identity and public perception faced by young individuals in the entertainment industry. One notable perspective expressed by an unnamed source highlights the difficulty in separating one's public persona from their private self. This individual recounts their experiences at a young age, noting a lack of emotional maturity to handle the pressures and expectations placed on them, making it hard to forge a distinct self-worth outside of the public's views.
There is not enough separation, I think, for anybody. You're seen as this person, you're called their name out on the street. You also constantly have to be that person at work, and I was 20. I was 21, 22, so I didn't have the emotional maturity to understand to differentiate myself just in terms of self-worth.
