Hot take: I don't think it's to avoid criticism online; I think she's likely always been like this.
I'll bet she comes from a household of straight forward parents who didn't allow complaining and that translates into toxic positivity.
She's the "weaker" twin and always been in Krista's shadow, I reckon.
Well, until Claire started getting some online fame and then she become quite self absorbed.
Unable to deal with criticism she's received so she's quick to the defense of "oh, I'm just a simple girl" because people can't hate if you claim you don't try.
Except she tries -- really hard.
Hard shell and gooey centre is Claire. If she starts showing her real feelings I think she'd unravel in a heap.
Tattlers who know her IRL - can you confirm/deny?

100%!!
Claire was always the less nice of the two, which made her less popular. She was a bitch basically, she was cold, unapproachable and had no time for anyone outside of her circle of friends. Not a bully or anything like that but not inclusive at all.
She has always been extremely competitive so the suggestion that she’s simple and doesn’t try is crap. She tries very hard and always has, particularly because Krista has always been slightly more successful at things. Claire has also followed Krista into a lot of things - Krista started her instagram first, joined the police force first, had kids first etc. Definitely living in the shadows.
The way she hits out and publicly shames anyone who has a dig at her but then claims she doesn’t care just reeks of someone who can’t handle criticism at all.
The family in general have always thought they were a bit better than everyone else, they’ve always had plenty of money and are always looking for the next way to make more (like flogging off scummy old clothes on insta).
And I can 100% confirm she never wore a single item of anything from Kmart back before it was “cool”.
