Except, it isn't anymore because i am exposing it. Muahahaha!
It's nothing, really. I just thought of sharing something about influencers/bloggers/pick-me girls that i have done and seen.
Mind you, i memang insaf sangat la because it's so cringey and geli.. When i look back at those weird desperate-for-attention time of mine, i just.. geli and nak muntah.
Anyway, what am i rambling on about?
Sometimes, not all the time, sometimes ya. Sometimes, some people like to exaggerate a situation, a sentence said to them, or a reaction just to get that sympathy votes.
We've all watched some kind of a talent survival show kan, and always these people with some sad stories or background will get more attention than those who don't. We can empathise and sympathise people who have struggles and we somehow have the urge to help them more, which is a good trait!
So using the power to gain attention via sympathy, sometimes, some of these public figures will misuse their.. conditions?
Camtu la.
For example, A might just say innocently that they don't like the clothes B is wearing because it's cold outside and B might catch a cold. Si B ni will post on social medias, exaggerate a bit, maybe cry a bit, or use some kind of a sad theme, and either put a caption or say that "OMG, i just can't deal with this.. i've been shamed because of my body.. Susah la hidup ni.. semua tak kena..".
Now, i am not shaming those who truly has problems with self esteem, but it does become a question mark when a person seek boosts of dopamine through social media.
But i get it.
Honestly.
I understand the dopamine boosts we can swim in when people say "i know you're strong", "you can do it", and all those encouraging words. They're addictive. But i can't play victim all the time. And worst, creating a scenario just to play victim.
I've learned to FACE reality. If i don't like a situation i'm in, i have to change it myself until i can't, then i have to accept it.
What actually triggered this story time is, few days ago, my daughter was watching this entahpape on youtube. It was about this girl who said that she hates her life because her mom is always angry at her. Even when she's in her room, her mom gets angry. And then they fall out, blablabla typical mat salleh mengada story.
And i was scoffing, coz whaaattt?
How mengada can you be? Why don't you listen to what the mother is saying then instead of thinking "she's angry for no reason". So that attitude of mengada-ness, like my life sucks so much because boohoohoo was so irritating, i lectured my daughter about it.
Yes, we all complain. We can. But there's a limit to how much of the truth we're exaggerating isn't it? Craving for strangers' attention should be a warning sign isn't it? Why are we not asking our parents, spouse, friends for more attention? Malu? Tapi tak malu mintak dari strangers? Pelik kan?
I hope this won't offend anyone, but instead i hope it will serve as an eye opener. Jangan la buat mende yang boleh buat the future you geli with your own self right now. Geli last forever. Sympathy votes don't.
Since i hardly go on instagram, i'm glad i'm out of that loop. Sebab geli..
Geli sebab it reminded me of the old me.
Huahuahuahuaa....😅
