I am no psycologist, but maybe if her mum didn't hang around her like a bat, ready to tidy up every speck of dust that Holly produces, Holly would be a very different person
I wonder what her parents think about having two daughters going to one of the world's best unis and then not using their degrees really at all? No shame for anyone working in anything non academic but it just seems like a lot of effort for no reason, especially as holly is so obsessed with academiaI don't understand how she's settled for such a mediocre existence after trying so hard and graduating from top universities in the world.
I think that potentially says more about the parents though as we'll never really know whether Emily and/or Holly deep down wanted to go to Cambridge or whether their school/family etc. encouraged them to the point where they couldn't distinguish going to Cambridge from their actual dreams and goals.I wonder what her parents think about having two daughters going to one of the world's best unis and then not using their degrees really at all?

Yes this, absolutely! And I've also often wondered why, exactly Holly was so keen to go to Cambridge. I mean, I remember some of the motivations she's cited in her old videos (while she was still at Cambridge) and it was stuff like:I think that potentially says more about the parents though as we'll never really know whether Emily and/or Holly deep down wanted to go to Cambridge or whether their school/family etc. encouraged them to the point where they couldn't distinguish going to Cambridge from their actual dreams and goals.
It might just be me but I often struggle to identify what I actually want, as opposed to what society expects/idealises, and that's without pushy parents. To be honest, the more I watch, the more I feel sorry for Emily, Holly and Matthew for growing up in such a dysfunctional and emotionless family...
he seems too biased.... ffs there are hundreds of vegan athletes and he looks at Holly and says ahhhh she's like this because she doesn't eat meat 111111!!111Haha one of my fave youtubers Bobby's Perspective has done a critique on Holly's protein vid- I'm going in
I think Holly studying Nutrition would have just fueled her ED. Even her interest in the area might come from an ED perspective.
the colour difference in her legs and hands!
Again- she has Raynauds. It’s a chronic circulation disorder usually found in the hands. It’s hereditary and not much you can do to stop it!the colour difference in her legs and hands!

Yes 100% my ED gave me bad circulation issues which remain even though I'm at a healthy weight now. You don't realise at the time how much these things f*** up your body... Would not be at all surprised if Holly has a lot of health issues from being underweight for so long, perhaps some which she's not even aware ofI'm sure her ED makes it worse
Did her mom at least pretend to be happy for this one?New video. Holly's final results have come in and, no surprise, she got a distinction. I will never, EVER understand why she chooses to sit in her bedroom all day with an amazing degree like that. I know doing a PhD isn't for everyone but what is the point of doing a highly specialized research degree when you don't even want to go into research in the first place? What is the point of it all? Spending £ 15,000 on a master's degree so Holly can show off to a bunch of strangers on the internet and film herself doing self-designed fitness tests and tick one more box off of her to-do list? What a waste!
