Are you afraid of meeting a person you adore and admire the most in real life?

Fearing something that person does or speaks may destroy the beautiful image you have been harboring over the years and decide to cherish that image forever.

Not at all. I'm even more interested, because I'm curious to see whether or not they actually live up to that image. If they do that's wonderful, if they don't, then atleast I know the truth. I'd rather know the truth about a person, than live inside of a myth.

In my case if I have lived quite some time making one as a Hero I would not like to meet him or her in person and spoil and the destroy a image that has been giving a lot of happiness to me.Well as long as it doesn't hurt anyone I do not mind cheating myself a little to be happy.

Oh well, I wouldnt be afraid, a bit apprehensive maybe but more eager actually.^_^ It doesnt happen to a lot of people that you'd be able to meet that one person you admire most in real life. Well, I guess if it was your relative then that's not a problem but if its someone who might not know that you exist and lives miles away from you then sure. Hmm, if you would fear something like that then I think you were admiring the person who you thought that someone is but not actually who he is. I mean you admire the idea of him but not actually him. I dont have that kind of admiration for someone. If he shows his personality and I might not like it then Im just gonna have to accept it if I really do admire him. Thats just how I think at least.

Noooooo... it's better to find out their true qualities and know whether you were right or wrong in admiring them, surely? It would kill their image in your mind were they something completely different to what they had portrayed, but I would think that's better for you in the long run, my friend. Know who your friends and idols are! Brightest Blessings, Bala, my friend.

My answer to your question would be in negative, I won't feel afraid or say disappointed if I meet a person, whom I admire or adore. Because what matters to me is his/her qualities rather than his/her outer physical appearance. I like a person because he/she has some exceptional qualities and I will continue to admire him/her for the same. For example, if I happen to meet you one day I won't feel afraid rather I'll be much happy, because I admire you as a genuine and nice person with some exceptional qualities.

No I don't think I would be afraid. Perhaps a bit disappointed. But that is a risk. It may be a good thing to know that the person is real. With problems and faults just like we all have.

Hello balasri! That's what I felt before my husband and I met in person. We met online and we talked for almost 2 1/2 years before finally meeting in person. I know that talking online and in person is different. Online is too ideal. There are lots of expectations. When my husband showed me his itinerary, I told him that don't expect too much from me. I just don't want disappointments or something. I even told him that he might be disappointed when he sees me in person because I am not good looking although he saw me on cam. But finally when I saw him went out at the airport and our eyes met, I know there's magic.

No, I would not think so Bala. For the simple reason that the admiration of the person comes about from knowing the inherent traits and qualities of the person. And something that has been built up over a period of time does not get destroyed that easily for me. There may be excitement,suspense,joy on meeting the person, but no fear.

ya,there is some amount of apprehension(as i do want to cherish those beautiful moments) but there is also excitement as i would very much want to know how the person is in real life.
