This whole social media bubble they all live in has a lot to blame. Not only has it massively increased fast fashion (read: being posted clothes to promote for free and then have no desire to keep them), it has also made it apparently trendy to hate your body/size and to always be losing weight/unhappy with how you look. People like this who are so determined to have a label attached to how they feel (read: having "body dysmorphia" even though never diagnosed/never even seen a specialist to be diagnosed in the first place) are actually taking away the importance of recognising a real medical or mental illness. If her young followers think "oh I'm unhappy with how I look too, I must have body dysmorphia just like Misha", people who genuinely do suffer from this illness will be overlooked as just "one of them". Feel sad for society as a whole if this is going to be the future.
I wish they would seek help for the fact they need other people's opinions, likes or comments to feel validated and have to constantly update followers with unnecessary information just to stay relevant. IMO I don't view social media as a stable career for anyone, especially not younger girls who clearly have underlying issues going on.
Side note, I sell clothes online for a part-time living and one of the first things I would look at as buying them would be the absolute mess in the back of Misha's photos. That would give me a good indication as a buyer of what condition I can expect the clothes to be in/how they have been kept - creased, unwashed, chucked on the floor or in a heap on someone's bed... is it just me who would steer clear of buying because of that?
Also, just noticed some of the people commenting on her recent insta post have been saying she should count herself lucky to have gone away the amount of times she has done, to have met Jake, to have had many luxuries that others haven't had the fortune to enjoy this year, all of which I agree with. Her and her mum seem to think that because there is a whole chunk of her life that she doesn't 'feel comfortable' sharing online, this doesn't mean she hasn't had 'suffering', 'pain' and hard times like other people... fair enough but doesn't she get how contradictory it all is?
You can't choose to only publicise the holidays, freebies, days out etc etc, hide all the 'pain and suffering', and then expect her viewers/followers to automatically understand or assume that she has suffered? We haven't seen any of that so why would we think or know that? I 100% get that you don't want all your life being online but isn't that the foundation of these careers, that they expect people to want to know all about them, and subscribe or follow? Same goes for in real life, if your friends only see you happy, posing and preening, going on holidays etc, how the hell would they know that you are experiencing suffering? in an ordinary 9-5 job you wouldn't have this problem of dealing with people's incorrect assumptions, because in a 9-5 job it isn't all about you and people really aren't that interested in the ins and outs of your life.
These sorts of posts just leads people to believe that yet again, Misha doesn't want to be left out of the loop or appear irrelevant by saying that she hasn't had hard times this year.
I also don't see how being gifted items from small businesses (like she shows on her story) is benefitting them? surely these businesses would have just appreciated if she had actually bought something up front rather than them sending her freebies?
