Hero Worship

Sperbs tend to lack moderation (have you picked up on that theme yet?) and that often extends into the area of hero worship. If there is a person you admire, think deeply about what particular characteristics you admire about that person, then emulate those characteristics. Borrowing your hero's hairstyle, wardrobe style, eating what he/she eats, "liking" the same music or games your hero likes, etc., doesn't bring you any closer to your hero.

If you're looking for acceptance and/or admiration, adopting the positive characteristics of the people *you* admire is a great way to go about it, so long as they can tell that you're still Danny.
