I'm not that bright. Can someone please explain complaining about others reacting to their social media posts? Don't you make the decision to share your life with the public? How do you reconcile complaining about your privacy while you are sharing your life with the world?

You want privacy, delete all your social media accounts.

Even then .... if you've HAD social media accounts anywhere long enough for Google to take note (these days about 3 seconds!) it's far too late... that ship has sailed along with your so-called "privacy".

Big Brother is ALWAYS watching.

Part of being famous includes intense scrutiny about your entire life & constant criticism about your body, your decisions, and everything you put out there. But sharing is kind of core to human nature. We all get bored & lonely & want attention. Many of us here on ATOT have been here for 20+ years. I joined up when I was in college but lurked & didn't create an account until a few years later. Big Brother's algorithms know more about me than I do at this point lol.

It sounds like she just wanted to be normal-popular not famous-popular, but then got into a celebrity relationship & was shocked at the intensity of the scrutiny. We all like having a platform available to toot our horn on, whether it's wasting time or joining a hobby reddit or a special-interest group on Facebook or whatever. I just kind of work all the time & then have no energy the rest of the time so neffing online is about all I have the energy for socially most days lol.

So I can understand where she's coming from...you want to be famous but not TOO famous, haha!
