" Lots of celebrities have been seriously burned at some point and had trouble understanding why they were no longer darlings of the public eye. I got to go through that on a much smaller scale"
After all it seems that you are afraid of loosing attention. Attention flood may be as undesirable as a drought. But if you have an unusual capability it would be unwise to not use it to your advantage, that is, unless you have money enough to pay for marketing and promotion while you stay away from the public eye.
I am not afraid of losing attention. I have a healthy respect for the very real danger that comes from negative attention. There is nothing neurotic about that. I have a medical condition which makes a normal job a big problem for me. My best bet for success is via the internet. Traffic is necessary to make money. That is a simple objective reality having nothing to do with my feelings, personal baggage, yadda.
