The converse of the desire for social recognition is the fear of social disapproval. Personality may desire one and fear the other, but consciousness is not concerned with either. Social recognition and social disapproval are both fleeting and ephemeral. Success and fame may happen, but they make no difference to what we are.
Spiritual development is a process of becoming empty, of letting go of all attachments and aversions. We do not have to become anyone.
Peace.
