Lydia does more charity work in the average month than any1 here has done in their lifetime.
Maybe y'all have green eyes as she's beautiful, talented, successful and marred to a 10 out of 10!
I seriously don't get why the go-to explanation for criticism is always "you're a bunch of jealous, fat, ugly losers". Why is it SO inconcievable that our criticism is genuine, and not born from jealousy and/or lack of personal success in life?
That screenshot of Lydia babbling about that "Your critics are not important"-podcast honestly makes me so exasparated. Being able to receive critique and changing how you work based on that critique is vital to developing profesionally in
any line of work. No-one ever went further by surrounding themselves with yes-people and ignoring criticism. Being a student/school pupil, for instance, is all about receiving critique on your work and learning from it in order to improve. In my own line of work as a health professional (with 6 years of university education and in the midst of a further 5-year specialization) I'm required to hand in examples of my written work to senior staff at regular intervals to see if my work is in accordance with our guidelines and ethical standards, and if it isn't - well, I have to take that on the chin and improve! I'm also obligated to participate in 2-hour bi-weekly guidance sessions with senior staff/specialists where I have to present my work with current patients in order to receive feedback. We also hand out feedback forms to all our patients as well in order to improve.
In other words: our critics are vital! But we do need to separate true critics from trolls, and that's where Lydia seems to fail entirely.
I, like so many others here, used to be a big fan of Lydia's, but her utter lack of transparency, failure to accept fair, constructive criticism, her dishonesty in regards to both her content and cosmetic procedures and the constant pressure to buy-buy-buy-consume-consume-consume completely turned me off... Though I must admit I've been getting increasingly repulsed by influencers and flex-culture in general, and these days my social media are mostly filled with cute animals and snarky humor, which is SO much better for my mental and financial health!
(On a separate note - pardon my English if I worded this weirdly, it's not my first language)
