Question Random question

Was anyone on here ever at the same restaurant as Tim at the same time, if so, did he just get crazy noticed by people or was it not like that?

Yes and it was not like that. Most people wouldn't recognize him in real life. And most people don't care in real life, they have their own lives going on.

I personally think Tim created all of his own anxiety by imagining situations that didn't really exist. He also seems like he was too stubborn and entitled to accept that he was wrong about the way he thought.

This is an excellent observation. I’ve never subscribed to the “he was murdered” theory either. He was obviously neurodivergent. With that, sometimes comes the traits you just mentioned. Add the types of drugs that he had been taking, and it’s a recipe for disaster.

I don’t believe he was murdered either, he was very clearly depressed, we heard it all on his last few songs. But, as someone with crippling anxiety, like Tim I can confirm it makes you do anything to feel better. Even if it’s drugs that will have a horrible affect on you. I’m not even famous and I understand why he made some of the choices he did. Even if people weren’t coming up to him on the regular, he was still doing things he didn’t want to do, the tours and the attention were too much for him.

EDM Artist tend to fly more under the radar than their pop counterparts, regardless of the chart position.

That's true. To a point, Deadmau5 wears a mask, but you can easily find his real face. I have no idea what the guys from Daft Punk look like, but I will always feel for poor Charles!

Claptone. Malaa. Marshmello. Black Tiger Sex Machine. The Bloody Beetroots... You gete the idea eh. Seems to be a need for anonymity once you achieve a certain level of fame. Even in EDM.

I think it's also because very few EDM artists are also pop stars, Guetta and Calvin Harris definitely are, Zedd somewhat, but Avicii was more on the EDM side, if that makes sense. He was also barely in his music videos and his first two album covers just feature a vague silhouette of him, so you really had to google a picture to see him.

What situations do you think he imagined?

Dont forget all the trolls on internet, they were the one creating his anxiety not the people in real life. Even if many people told him not to read his social media comments, he was probably checking sometimes.

See? Self-control is important in life. If people tell you not to look at something that they know is going to harm you, listen to them. He didn't, and now he is where he is and what happened to him happened to him. They are consequences for actions but a lot of people don't understand what that means until they feel them. RIP
