The more popular you become, the more people feel that they know you and set their own image of who you are and how they expect you to talk and react. Any deviations from what is their "expected" opens you up to being criticized as there is that "fear of loss" when people perceive you as now different from them. That difference is what sparks people to question you which in turn ask you to pay notice and think should I care what they think. It is a part of what popularity brings.

So many of the mental debates you are describing here Amber reminded me of being pregnant for the first time. It is literally shocking when total strangers feel perfectly comfortable invading your personal space to touch your belly, give you unsolicited advice and Literally tell you what to do. Yes, they have their own experiences but EMPATHY teaches one when to shut up and when to speak. What your gut is looking for is not just answers but empathy because in this line of work, we give away a bit of ourselves, no?
