According to Ratson, though it’s natural to have expectations in life, if we’re too attached to them, it leads to suffering. Meanwhile, realistic expectations are fine because they’re grounded in experience and logic. But when they become detached from reality, they can sabotage our sense of happiness.

On the flip side, if you’re always cynical and pessimistic about the future, you might miss out on truly spectacular opportunities in life. So, it’s often best to keep your expectations in check as much as possible and to allow life to surprise you if things take an unexpectedly positive turn. Meanwhile, any disappointments that will come your way won’t hit as hard because you’re letting your life experiences, not your imagination, guide you.

This more human perspective can help you keep your expectations in check before you meet up with your beloved star. It should also help you keep at least some of your nerves in check. After all, you’ll be talking to another person, not a deity. Be polite. Be civil. Be authentic. And the odds are that they’ll return your kindness with more kindness.
Reputation is something that celebrities live by. Being kind, nice, well-mannered, and learning to get along with others isn’t just the ‘right’ thing to do, it’s also the smartest strategy.
The entertainment industry is quite tight-knit. If someone has a reputation for being rude or hard to work with, they might not get to work on high-profile projects much longer. On the flip side, someone who’s got a magnetic personality, is a team player, and treats others with respect is going to quickly become an industry favorite, no matter what part of the industry they’re in.

“When you meet a celebrity, you’re seeing a tiny 5-minute window of who they are as a person. They could be having a bad day, they could be exhausted from meeting people for 8 hours earlier on. But to you, that meeting is all you’ve got to go on. So if it goes badly, naturally you might assume they’re just a bad person in general and that isn’t always the case,” they shared why it’s so important to set realistic expectations for yourself before you meet your fave stars.
“I think one of the cool things about the thread is that there are some celebrities in there where people had a really great encounter with their idol, and then someone replies saying they had an awful encounter with the same celebrity! And I think that really hammers home the point. Celebrities should always think about this in the back of their minds, and vice versa, we should try not to judge people on their worst mistakes!”

“The media tends to focus on these negative encounters, the scandals, and I figured Reddit would be the perfect place to hear some stories from the other side of the coin,” u/Former-Tadpole said that it’s refreshing to talk about wholesome encounters, instead of someone’s drawbacks.

“I guess there is a ‘stigma’ about celebrities being snobby, but in the vast majority of cases it simply isn’t true! And I think people are eager to share their stories as it’s something that goes against the norm.”
