Something I’ve noticed is - Anna’s first podcast “my trashy past created my brilliant future” - in this podcast she talks about growing up with strict parents, loving animals, studying abroad, working in a club. But she never ever mentions anything “trashy” that she’s done. Sure in the past she’s talked about how she used to swear or her appearance wasn’t levelled up - but she doesn’t actually refer to anything trashy she’s done. Therefore the podcast title doesn’t make sense at all with the content. It’s so painfully obvious the title of the podcast episode is a rebuttal to things said/revealed about her in various forums. You would think Anna would curate content which caters for her paying loyal students, not a bunch of people criticising her. She’s the one after all who always goes on and on about “not listening to your haters”, “seeing people who criticise you as dirt beneath your feet”.
But the way she keeps going on about how criticisers and “haters” don’t bother her makes it very obvious that they do bother her a LOT. Someone who doesn’t care about criticism just doesn’t bring it up. However in the livestream with Lauren A back in April I think? The topic of how you handle criticism came up. Lauren’s answer was very composed and short and sweet and something along the lines of “her husband helps her see perspective and tells her what does it matter what people say about her when he (her husband), her mum and close friends know the real her and they’re all that matter”.
Then it got to Anna’s turn to answer the question about handling criticism. Her whole face twisted in horror and just complete lack of composure. She went on a 5 minute rant about how people who criticise have nothing better to do, how they’re less successful than her etc etc etc. She would not even take A breath and you could watch her visibly getting emotional/angry as she was on her rant. It was in that moment I wondered whether the “real Anna” has problems with anger management. She came across as so masculine and bull in a china shop in her rant. By the end of it Lauren gently interrupted her and changed the conversation to another topic - if she hadn’t I think Anna would have kept going. She was speaking as if her “critics” were right there in front of her and she was telling this all to their face.
It’s this kind of behaviour which makes me perplexed. I would have thought someone who’s been having regular therapy for over 3 years would be able to have a healthier outlook on things and have worked on themselves enough but with her it seems to have made little difference
I think Anna is also very aware at how unrefined and masculine she came across in comparison to Lauren A and that’s why she hasn’t saved the livestream on her main page like she has with the other live-streams she’s done. The one with Lauren was never to be seen again after 24 hours. At the end of it Lauren even said a couple of times she’d love to do another livestream again, perhaps this time on her Instagram so that Lauren’s followers could ask Anna questions. Anna just grimaced a forced smile in response
whaaaat?
