The Fame was not entirely about the fame, only a handful songs are actually about the fame. Even The Fame Monster has tracks like telephone and so happy I could die aren't as centered on fears as other stuff like Alejandro monster and dance in the dark are. She says what dance in the dark is about based on her intentions that its a girl who has sex in the dark because she is not comfortable with her body. You can also view the song as something about girls being afraid of how their boyfriends put them down so they have to have their fun without him seeing.
I'm just saying that you really can't take everything she says so literally or apply it to a full body of her work.

Noooo, I actually think So Happy I Could Die is one of the perfect examples of the fear theme of The Fame Monster. Much like in the vein of DITD, it's about being so detached and afraid of intimacy that you have to drink and touch yourself to have fun and convince you're happy enough by yourself and don't need any intimacy. The other standout tracks in that aspect are definitely Bad Romance and Dance in the Dark. Those tracks scream desperation.
It's so ****ed up that when she finally lets someone near her she calls it a monster (in Monster) or she has to be tied up (in Teeth). My god... the Fame Monster is so underrated as an album.
