ETA: no cuz you're essentially saying she should drive herself potential to death over her deteriorating mental health because she said people should vote their issues using trans rights as an example. lost the plot entirely.
i'm sorry i know people will find this offensive (and i actually do agree that people neglect their mental health) but whenever someone uses this phrasing to not do something they're supposed to be doing, they come across as weak, manipulative and whiny little babies. grow up and do your job. everyone has problems
I’m not fond of the “just suck it up” mentality in general. I used to be a “just suck it up and do your job” type person until I burned out hard and bad. My mental health was so deteriorated that I was out of work for close to two years. It was not fun.
It’s one thing to have an ugh don’t wanna go to work today, but you go because it’s your job. It’s another thing to try to push through an illness and make yourself worse because you can’t give yourself a break and a bit of grace.
I think people also need to practice more self compassion when they can, although it's not always economically feasible under our capitalist hellscape. It doesn't have to be all of nothing, but people gotta give themselves some breaks. And I think it gets harder to do that the more you put yourself under an external or internal microscope.
As someone who is obsessed with her album and would love to see her live, respectfully, this is a mess. Of course she should take care of herself and prioritize her health, but I wish she'd take a break, regroup, and come back only committing to what she can actually do. This reputation of cancelling last minute is going to follow her for years.
i think she/her team weren't equipped to handle her blowing up. i watched an interview with her recently and she was talking about how she had just done... idr if it was coachella? whatever her first festival ever was, and she was talking about how intense and stressful it was even though it was also obviously a positive experience. and then she said she was already booked for like 10+ ADDITIONAL festivals???? like omg WHY
( ... )
Ia she should get a social media manager. Demi Lovato did that and I feel like you rarely hear from her now unless she has a new album or project coming out, and she seems much happier for it.
these comments are so weird bc before zayn became a recluse he went thru this exact same situation and it took years before people (esp here) stopped hating him for it
Genuinely awful for the fans, but I really hope she takes a good, long mental health break. She has bipolar disorder and I feel like she'd be gearing up for a big crash if she doesn't just... stop for a while.
Also, at least this was a festival appearance and not a solo show. The show will go on, just without her.
