“So I promise you I’m not judgmental because I think there’s a place for everyone, and some people thrive in different fields. I don’t think I’m an L.A. girl,” she said in a video. “At all. It’s just weird. People don’t dance. People don’t even like to say ‘Hi’. They don’t have a personality. They don’t have a personality and they all look the same. It’s weird. Please tell me it’s not weird.
“All these personalities you see on Instagram and TikTok, all these famous influencers, I love how they’ve 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 into their phones.”
