Read what Mariah Carey feels about stardom

Being famous doesn’t always provide immunity against loneliness. Superstar, Mariah Carey, says stardom could be magical and enjoyable but one could feel lonely in the midst of hordes of adoring fans.

She says:

“Stardom is a magical yet freakish situation at times. It’s a cliché but very true that at times you feel so alone even when you’re surrounded by so many people. Trust is not very easy for me at all. I want to be a trusting person but I’ve been bruised so many times – not to sound woe-is-me about my life. I’m thankful for my fans who make up for the lack of closeness I feel to most people who start out as friends and ultimately take advantage of me. I’m a very loyal person and it takes a lot for me to actually un-friend someone. I’m actually very loyal, to my detriment. Yeah, the past few years have had their ups and downs.”
