content: I saw only the still frame before that particular video loaded, and it's more than enough. http://i.imgur.com/VSfw7Hq.jpg This is how she chooses to present herself to the world. I'm sure, in that moment, she truly believes in giving heartfelt thanks to her followers; she's not acting, at least intentionally. But in the next moment she'll rightly look back on it as evidence of how deeply social media's hooks have dug into her soul, just as she claims to be doing now with her previous videos. This is the face of addiction. If we ever get our shit together, the dangers of validation addiction will be taught in schools 10 or 20 years in the future. It's pornography for girls. A cheap high coupled with thrills that come from peer validation, and the crushing lows that come not from disagreement, but from being ignored. Escalate to a new tactic and chase that high again. You're special, you can speak only truth, and you deserve to have people telling you how great you are. They love you. Look at how deeply this has damaged that teenager.
