    Obvs this is my main concern about eventually becoming famous. I wear the same clothes all the time.

    Will my fame save me from this? Some famous people get away with it. I never hear anyone saying “you know, JFK always wore a suit”.

      I’ll never become famous because I’m doing absolutely nothing to pursue fame. However, if I were to one day become famous, the paparazzi would be bored as hell because I wear the same outfit every day. Except when it’s above 10 degrees, then I swap the jeans out for shorts and ditch the hoodie - but then that’s my outfit for the next 5-6 months.

      Which actor made it a point to always wear the same outfit in public to fuck with the paparazzi? In my head I remember Daniel Radcliffe doing that.

      it’s okay to wear the same clothing multiple times if you’re a man. if you’re a woman you have to throw away everything that you’ve ever even slightly touched

        There was an Australian news anchor who wore the exact same suit weeks in a row and nobody cared.

        If his female co-anchor did the same, it was immediately in the headlines

        But none of their stans are clicking on articles about what they’re wearing unlike Katie here.

        The paparazzi version of Zuck or Jobs is writing an article about some stupid thing they do, even potentially damaging behavior, and convincing the reader it’s evidence of brilliance.

        They wear the same shit because they have no fashion sense. But it’s been spun as “I can’t waste any precious brain power on mundane decisions” which is such a load of BS. What it’s actually demonstrating is they’re both dunces, incapable of picking up basic social skills, unable to engage in basic social behavior, uninterested in exploring something simply for the sake of relating to others.

        There’s all sorts of conclusions to draw.

        But nope, the things you or you do daily well enough by glancing at others, and checking out a store or two is IS JUST TOO MENTALLY TAXING AND WASTING THEIR BRAIN JUICE

            I don’t care about small talk, but I engage in it as a social custom.

            And I don’t try to pretend I’m superior to others for not caring about it.

              Yeh, I believe this is the right approach. It makes sense that it’s important to people to have some rituals around interaction and bonding even if they don’t mean anything to me personally and even if they don’t have any deeper or fundamental meaning.

              I think it would be nice if society were more forgiving of people who struggle with it though, it can lead to a lot of bitterness and resentment.

      My main concern is I’m not doing anything interesting enough to make me famous, so to become famous without making any significant changes to my lifestyle would be really strange

          Sounds about as likely as winning the lottery on the every once in a blue moon I’m gifted a lotto ticket. Just not something worth worrying about when there’s far more pressing matters I should worry about and find resolutions to
