I started realizing I’d spent 20 minutes looking at somebody’s Instagram page who worked for a friend of mine. I now know you have a pit bull, two daughters, and live in Burbank. I just wasted 17 minutes of time. I now feel like I should move to California, get this specific dog, and change my life in all these ways. I felt so bad, like I was missing out on this random person’s life. I can’t do this. I’m too fragile, I have so much anxiety about other things.
She said this on The Skinny Confidential Him & Her podcast in 2023. It’s going viral again right now because more people than ever are starting to feel it: consuming content without a goal in mind will always leave you empty and anxious.
She also said her ego is “too fragile” and called herself “a delicate flower.” She meant it literally. “My brain is too fragile. I have enough anxiety.”
