Keke Palmer opens up about how she copes with the ‘loneliness’ of fame

BBG News

As a lifestyle expert with years of experience under my belt, I can wholeheartedly relate to Keke Palmer‘s feelings about loneliness at the top. The glitz and glamour may seem enticing from the outside, but the reality is that fame often leaves one feeling alienated and alone. It’s a bit like being the only cheese in a fridge full of milk cartons – you stand out, but not always in a good way.

Keke Palmer explores the solitude that can come with success in her latest cover feature for Self magazine, published in December.

In the most recent edition, the 31-year-old performer, fresh off selling her Brooklyn penthouse, shared openly about the seclusion that stardom can bring.

In a previous interview, she expressed, ‘I find it solitary. My approach to handling this aloneness is to avoid focusing solely on myself.’

In simpler terms, the ex-child star expressed that they consider those who feel out of place in the world, as fame, when stripped down to its essence, is essentially a sense of unease. They shared this perspective with the publication.

In simple terms, she explained, ‘It seems everyone worldwide experiences a profound sense of isolation, and we feel even more isolated when we isolate others.’

‘And that’s what comes with fame. I’m known around the world and now I’m even less able to connect to the very people that I would want to use my fame to connect to. That was probably the hardest part.’

Keke Fostered popularity at a young age, making her debut in the movie “Barbershop 2: Back In Business” in 2004. Later, she landed the leading part in the film “Akeelah and The Bee,” which was released in 2006.

I often find myself reflecting on the profound sense of aloneness we all experience at times. To combat this, many of us seek connections, building our own families, joining communities and groups, or even finding solace in religious institutions like churches. In more extreme cases, some individuals may even turn to cult-like environments as a means of fulfilling their need for belonging.

As a devoted admirer, I’d like to express that the actress elucidated her insight: ‘I believe we all yearn for a feeling of communal solitude, and in essence, being an entertainer is about seeking that shared experience of loneliness.’

She remarked, “Even with fame comes a certain level of isolation, but everyone experiences something similar. It may seem unusual, yet it’s simply an aspect of human existence that can feel unique to both others and ourselves at times.

After unveiling the latest edition, the versatile individual expressed gratitude on Instagram towards the magazine.

She started her post on Wednesday by expressing gratitude for being given the chance to appear on the cover of @selfmagazine.

Palmer is actively sharing news about her latest release, a memoir or self-empowerment guide titled “Master of Me: Discovering the Power to Steer Your Story.

In her writing, she gratefully recognized Rachel Wilkerson Miller, Editor-in-Chief, for effectively encapsulating the purpose of her book and her personal journey towards self-realization. She considers it her duty to act as an intermediary for her audience, employing language, wit, and entertainment as means to help them reach their desired destinations – topics we all yearn to explore but often feel distant from.

She shared with her 14 million followers this quote from Aristotle: “Excellence isn’t an isolated action; it’s a consistent habit.” To her, this quote serves as a powerful reminder of the path to self-realization.

In simpler terms, she explained that self-actualization means defining and embracing your unique identity. It’s about acknowledging and staying true to the person you choose to become.

Speaking about her latest work, the actress from Nope explained, “Master Of Me delves into the concept of deciding who you want to be at any given moment and staying true to that choice.

‘There is ALWAYS a win in that, in the presence of that personal commitment. Thank you to everyone that has made me book a NY Times best seller and cheers to the growing Circle of Masters. Love to you all,’ she gushed.
