“…And this doesn’t seem like a day or two thing,” Spiranac wrote on Instagram Stories. New York Post. “This has been going on for a while. I feel like I’m obsessed with everything and I’m just trying to get through it. I think that’s why I don’t post as much because I’m overthinking everything and I feel like my anxiety is taking over.”

“I’m trying to push myself out of it and post more and get back to what I was doing before. I feel like I’m not active because I’ve just been in my own head, in this kind of weird routine, and we’re working on it.”

Spiranac lamented that his audiences and others did not see him correctly, and said he believed he was “actually really misunderstood.”

Recently, a golf influencer took a break from social media after being involved in a cheating scandal during his tournament. He said he had received “tens of thousands of death threats” since the tournament’s championship match in November.

“The last week and a half has probably been the worst hate I’ve received in the 10 years I’ve been doing this,” Spiranac previously said in a post on Instagram Stories. “I’m talking about tens of thousands of death threats, people telling me to kill myself. That’s the most vile, horrible thing you can say to a person who’s been in my DMs to the point where we were discussing that I should potentially get a restraining order.”
