👉 An idolomania is a mental disorder characterized by an intense and obsessive desire for admiration, praise, or attention from others. It can manifest in various forms, such as a fear of being criticized or ridiculed, a fixation on perfectionism, and a sense of inadequacy due to perceived flaws or shortcomings. This obsession with admiration often leads individuals to engage in behaviors that are intended to please others or gain approval, which can be harmful if not managed appropriately.
