Does fame really give friends? It's been my understanding that a lot of famous people are chronically lonely.

  Really? No, but if someone says friends are important in life, some people will think fame would be a good way to make friends.

    I upvoted you but I think you and I might differ in our definition of friend; I think you're right that you have the opportunity to "cast a wide net" so to speak, but an internet search turns up numerous quotes from celebrities that find those relationships lacking in humanity and are void of meaningful connections. I don't think there's anything in fame that inherently precludes you to making true friendships, but you might have to sift more to find them.

      >I don't think there's anything in fame that inherently precludes you to making true friendships, but you might have to sift more to find them. I guess the quantity and variety of interactions you get with fame will quickly desensitise you to the point where normal interaction with people becomes awkward.
