I happened to come across a channel 4 programme tonight about Jade Goody calling her the first reality millionaire.
It started off with a male friend saying the following:
“There is a wonderful feeling when that first flashlight goes off - it’s all wonderful and great... and then you need it and you have got to have it. It becomes a totally addictive thing and you have got to have more...”
It made me think of these grown women, who have given up jobs to become “instafamous”
Spending a lot of their day, at home, talking to their phones in the hope of attention from complete strangers and being validated with “likes”
They have the option to delete any negativity or even, at least, legitimate enquiries because it questions and “affects their brand”?!
This has created women with overinflated egos that can delete anything they don’t want to challenge them.
They can alter photographs of themselves because reality does not suit them. They can add a filter to create the reality they crave.
Everyone can star in their own Truman Show and play the character they want to be.
When will this end? What happens to these women when the bubble does burst?
There are some already complaining about anxiety and poor mental health.
No-one forced this lifestyle they have created so maybe if you are claiming anxiety then the first instance you should have is a long hard yourself in a mirror.
