“I promise you, I’m not judgmental because I think there’s room for everyone legit and some people succeed in different fields. I don’t think I’m a girl from Los Angeles,” she said in a video. “Not at all. It’s weird. People don’t dance. People don’t even like to say ‘Hello’.” They have no personality. They have no personality and all look the same. This is very strange. Please tell me this isn’t weird.

“I like that all these personalities that you see on Instagram and TikTok, all these famous influencers, they’ve found a space where they can feel like themselves and gain confidence online, but when you can’t talk to people or look people in the eye like you can face to face… isn’t that weird? Am I weird? I mean, I know I’m weird, but it’s like people are so used to talking on their phones.”
