Do you or someone you know show signs of this epidemic?

There seems to be an epidemic amongst people my age these days. Unfortunately this epidemic is rising at a rapid rate. Just because you may know someone famous or be related to someone famous does not make you yourself famous.  I know, I'm sorry to be the one that bursts your bubble but hey sometimes the truth is hard to swallow.  Personally I know many people that have been affected by this disease.  Just for an example lets call this disease "delusionalnutriderdreamosis."  People that are affected show signs of an enlarged ego, a sense of entitlement for no reason and most importantly an extreme does of arrogance.  Personally I blame shows like Basketball Wives and Football Wives for expanding the growth of the epidemic.  I know an overwhelming amount of people affected in the state of Arizona.  Many people feel a sense of entitlement due to the fact of their relatives or people they once were close to.  I just don't understand why people that are associated with celebrities feel they are celebrities themselves.  Its a conundrum to me.  I have a friend whose parents are loaded and extremely wealthy but she lives on the money she makes herself.  She is an example of a person who has not been affected. I'm not sure if she was given a antibiotic to ward off the disease but either way some people can learn from her.  Many men in my city know a so called "celebrity".  This causes sickness to my stomach.  If you have to use someone else's identification to get into a club or to get known that is just sad.  Why do people have such a hard time just being themselves?  I don't understand why anyone would want to be in the shadow of another human being just because they think it makes them look cooler.  To be honest with you it makes you look pathetic.  The funniest sign of the disease when the words, "Don't you know who my cousin/brother/sister/aunt/uncle is?" comes out of the mouth of the affected.  At this time you know the disease has set in for the long term.  The victim will no longer be themselves nor will they be healthy until they are cut off for the pseudo celebrity.  Ladies and men alike please be on high alert of this sickness.  Getting too close could cause major stomach pains and a sense of nausea.  Long exposure to these victims will eventually infect you as well.  BEWARE! Delusionalnutriderdreamosis is on the loose.  If you think you know someone that is stuck on the coattails of another person let them know you are there to help before the problem becomes too serious.  Making a name for themselves outside of the person they are running after is a good start.  If you feel an intervention is needed please call 1-800-GET-LIFE ...
