So, tell me whether I understood you properly: are you saying that I have to look for some kind of idol or role-model to follow, and then to role-play and "be" that person?
If that's what you mean... there have been influential people (both in real life and history, television, etc.) whom I have followed and been like.
When I am "them", I always attract other people's attention; however, this happens at a cost: the content of my messages shifts and I tend to forget what I wanted to say.
Perhaps when that happens I start indulging myself being in the centre of attention and enjoy the relationship with the people rather than focusing on what I had to say in the first place... it is a very enjoyable state. But once I'm in that state I don't want to "ruin" it. I'm tempted to feel popular and not care anymore about telling my opinion.
...
I would be some sort of a pioneer if I were able to be influential and charismatic, and at the same time tell weird, non-mainstream opinions, without being laughed at...
Or do you know people who have weird and bizarre opinions, yet are influential and charismatic?
