It’s so uncomfortable seeing someone think they need to publicly “address” their private breakup like they’re some kind of celebrity. It’s actually so cringey. She’s tried to do it diplomatically but also, why does she feel so compelled to share her life online?
Because she’s lonely. She’s screaming out for attention and validation, and everyone who should give a toss is ignoring her. It’s really sad that her mother (who she just got free carpet for) is too busy to bother with her and her dad is just as involved as her now-ex. She’s so isolated, that breaks my heart.
I agree with her that everyone needs a support network, but that’s family and friends in the flesh, mother & baby groups, and online parent forums and group chats, that’s not 142k bots, creepy men, “fans”, brands, and other influencers who would throw you under the bus for a free Haven holiday. She needs an intimate support network, not a superficial one. If she deleted her Instagram and TikTok tomorrow, I wonder how many of those people who say
aw your so strong bbz would even give her a second thought.
Influencing gives me such an ick for many reasons, but this is one. Vulnerable people get sucked in and think ‘likes’ are real love.
