Let’s face it: we are all Kendall Jenner on this one. The former reality television star and model says that social media gives her anxiety. But despite the way she feels about it, she’s still super addictive to all of her multiple accounts, which is something that a lot of people can certainly relate to. Here’s what you need to know.
Kendall Jenner spoke to Dr. Jorge Partida, Chief of Psychology at LA County’s Department of Mental Health as part of Vogue’s ‘Unpacking Anxiety’ series.
Kendall Jenner Says Social Media Gives Her Anxiety And Admits To Being Addictive
When asked about her addiction to social media, Kendall said, “There’s just literally too much. I find that the more I’m looking at the screen, the more detached I feel with my own body or to what’s happening right in front of me. My relationship with social media is a bit addictive right now, which I don’t like and I’m not proud to say that, but I also feel like that’s something that probably most of us can relate to.”
When Dr. Partida asked her what was perhaps one of her worst moments that has given her anxiety over social media she said, “Something that upsets me the most is someone claiming a false narrative for me. The Internet bases things off such small moments with no context. They don’t know the before or the after. They’ll take that and they’ll judge you based off of this one little thing.”
Kendall also said that she feels as though social media has affected her identity. She explained, “I’ve become numb to [criticism] in a way. That took time though and that took a lot of like talking to myself and hyping myself up. And because of social media, everything is highlighted. Most of my social media anxiety is actually more the overwhelmingness of it all.”
