By "get beyond this" do you mean you want to get over it?

Examine your reasons for wanting to be famous. Try to really get to the core of why you want to be famous. Is it because you like having a lot of attention? Is it because you want to prove your worth to the world, or to yourself? Whatever your reasons, it is not reasonable to expect to be famous when there are so many people in the world. Instead, focus on getting really good at something. Whatever natural talents you have, nurture them so they can grow. If you are really good at something, you will gain recognition. It may never be on a nation-wide or world-wide level, but that should be enough to make you feel good about yourself.

As far as standing out goes, you need to be a creative thinker. Never let people tell you that something cannot be done. Be a creative problem solver. See the possibilities that other people cannot see. Find a new pathway and do things differently than they have ever been done. If you can do this, you will also gain recognition. Let that be enough.

I think the key to not feeling the need to be famous is just being happy with yourself and who you are. But if you want to be recognized above other people, just work really hard, believe in yourself, and find new creative ways of doing whatever it is you do. Whatever you are good at and enjoy, strive to be great at it.

It would help if you added your age to this. You could be anywhere from 13 to 20, I'd say. Probably closer to 13 or 14 or so. Either way, you need to look at your skills. Do you have enough talent to become famous? Why do you want to be famous? Do you just want attention and you think that being famous is the only way to do it?
What do you want to do in the industry that would make you famous? Do you like writing, acting, singing, dancing?
Do you live in a big city? Do you have money? Are you, by society's standards, good looking?

Becoming famous is extremely hard and there are millions of people that want to do it. Think realistically about your future. If you're over not talented, you don't have money, you don't have connections, you don't live in a big city; it's just most likely not going to happen.
Start thinking about your true interests. Do you like psychology? Science? Art? History? Do you like helping people? Do you like medical things?
I'm not saying that you can't do it. I'm just saying that you need to be realistic about your dreams and goals.

In order to get beyond the obsession, realize your true talents and dreams. Delve into your mind and see why you're really wanting to be famous.
