if Claire is watching this, I'm wondering what she expected to happen when you quickly rush an online shop and instagram page to help people with hair issues? Clearly your going to get messages from the get go. from the minute the first message hit the account you should have kept on top of it which would mean only having to answer a few at a time. but clearly you left it to build up and overwhelm you, that's not a good way to start a business. You need to ignore everyone and get your head down and plough through the messages and orders, not go onto your page and rant to the people that are on both pages for messaging and ordering from you. I for one have hair loss issues right now and was delighted you opened up an online store. I didn't message you because of past rants you had about dms (nothing has changed) and I honestly will never buy from you because I see your rants about it all.
I understand you featured in an rte show (sorry I never watched it) but that doesn't automatically excuse you from having a normal job after that.
I preferred the Claire that worked in the college/school. I find the Claire now very intense and looking like she needs to talk to someone. It actually feels like you regret leaving your original job. The problem is you share too much online, that's why people talk. The orders your getting are from long time fans who are on both pages. You rant on one of those pages and making those loyal followers feel like shite. You literally are destroying yourself and people are telling you here and you call them trolls because you can't see what you're doing to yourself.
you've 2 young kids that are watching/hearing you screech into your phone constantly, that's not a good thing. you say your doing it for them but your rants say different. I don't think you've passion for what you're doing right now, if you had you'd put every waking minute into it like it was a new born baby. Ian is there to watch the kids you could be locked in a room dealing with and cementing this job so when they eventually do get back to school you'll fly through it all. You just don't want to go to that effort and it shows it's an absolute chore.
I'm no troll, I'm saying what I'm seeing and trying to help, like many others. These forums aren't about hate it's to try and open peoples eyes and help them. You would and prob have blocked people for saying this exact thing to you through dm. and I know you only share a small snippet of everything online BUT you say, do and share so much in that - its hard not to see what's actually going on.
