Ep. 643: Crying for Attention on the Internet

from The Best Life Podcast Hosted by Danny-J Johnson & Jill Coleman

We love a good, cathartic cry as much as the next person, but when it comes to filming ourselves crying and posting it online for the world to see… we’re not sold. Sharing vulnerably is an important part of building a personal brand, but at some point, the vulnerability can become forced, and even manipulative at its worst. Look, we’d be lying if we said we’ve never filmed ourselves crying, but filming yourself doesn’t have to lead to making content out of it. On the other hand, you can’t please everyone. So if blowing snot bubbles on the internet is what excites you, who are we to judge? Getting trapped in someone’s fart cloud [2:25] Crying online for attention [7:57] What are the underlying motives?
