You don't "have to" do anything. But you'll likely experience "ugh fields" and akrasia trying to do anything that will make you too much like an "attractive and popular" person, until/unless you drop it.
true dat.
Doesn't even need to go as far as ugh fields and akrasia -- it's an explicit choice.
Er, true, but that's not what I meant. I mean that you might have other goals -- goals you might not expect to be related, but which, as a side effect, might make you "like" (be similar to) those people in some minor way, and end up with a puzzling ugh field or akrasia, if you didn't consciously notice the connection.
This is a common enough occurrence that I have patterns for working on it, in myself and in people who consult me for akrasia problems.
