People who don't want to get on with their lives, and don't want to accept responsibility for the direction of their lives want to hang out with other people who don't want to accept responsibility or move on, and so you find that your entire culture around you are people who are just like you, because that's what's comforting.

People don’t find the personal lives of people with much, much more power than any celebrity would have — don’t find their personal lives interesting.
