Being recognized used to make me incredibly uncomfortable, now I am used to hearing people saying just out of earshot "That's Even Odds, she . . . " as I walk through a room for whatever it happens to be.
The hardest part of being recognized by people you do not know is trying to place them in context when you meet them or having to satisfy their "tell me how I know you!" aggressiveness.

I once wanted to be famous, but when I achieved it, I have to say it sucked- in quick sucession I won state office then national office (as part of a ticket). as a hint, during the campaign, in a debate I quoted Mr____. My opponent, hateful shit said " I knew ____, and you're no ____. " let me tell you crap like that can ruin a day. I just got heaped upon as being dumb, couldn't spell, whatever. I mean my kids heard it- try telling your kids what you want them to do after they hear Dan Rather basically call you a numbskull- not cool. anyway, years removed it cooled off. I can go to the grocery store without being heckled, for the first few years out, i swear it was always "Hey ____, over here in produce, is this vegetable spelled right?"
