“So, I promise you I’m not judgmental because I think there’s a place for legit everybody and some people thrive in different areas. I don’t think I’m an LA girl,” she said in a video. “Like at all. It’s just weird. People don’t dance. People don’t even bother to say ‘Hi.'” They have no personalities. They have no personalities and they all look the same. It’s weird. Please tell me it’s not weird.
“All these personalities you look at like Instagram and TikTok, all these famous influencers, I like how they found a space where they can feel like themselves and gain confidence online, but if you can’t talk to people or look people in the eye like in person… isn’t that weird? Am I weird? I mean, I know I’m weird, but people get so used to talking on their phones.”
