I find I have to walk a little faster in public these days, but it's very easy to remember when nobody had any idea who I was.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I can walk down the street and nobody knows who I am.
I have had a few people recognise me in public. But I wouldn't like everybody to recognise me. I can still walk across the street and not be noticed.
I was overwhelmed when people started to know who I was.
People pretend to know me when they don't. I feel uncomfortable when I feel like I don't remember someone.
For the most part, people don't know who I am.
Today, there's an expectation that you get to know public people. In the past, it was much more what you did and how you presented yourself.
I don't want people to remember me going through the motions.
Sometimes I just wish nobody knew who I was.
I have lived in public as a somewhat recognizable person since I was a teenager. Emails I answer end up posted on sites; pictures of me and someone I just met, taken by a cellphone, literally number in the thousands and are easily accessed.
Being a known person is pretty much all I've known. I don't remember much of a time when people didn't know who I was.
