Khloé Kardashian speaks on how social media gives her anxiety because of internet trolls and makes her scared to post on Instagram: “Everything is so critical. The way I look, my situation with Tristan”
During the latest episode of The Kardashians, Khloé continued to open up about her battle with anxiety.
Khloé, 37, was in the middle of talking with her best friend Malika Haqq when she revealed she was experiencing severe anxiety ahead of her appearance on “The Late Late Show with James Corden.” During their convo, she even recalled how she felt like she was “having a heart attack” following a recent run-in with paparazzi. “I have to do James Corden. I just have such anxiety about going. It’s never the interview, it’s more the aftermath,” she told Malika, 39. “I have to listen to everybody say this, or judge you, or overanalyze something you say, or pick this apart … this s— used to be fun.”
Khloé went on to talk more about how social media has taken a toll on her mental health in her confessional. She said, “Social media used to be fun and silly,” she explained. “There are definitely always trolls, and now everything is so critical. The way I look, my situation with Tristan [Thompson]. Is my hair done the right way? What is she doing with that laugh? … I think I’ve gotten to the point where it’s literally safer to stay at home.” Khloe said she tries her best to avoid paying attention to the negative things people. “Trust me, I try not to but when I walk down the street and then even paparazzi is heckling at you the same things you’re trying to avoid, it’s so deteriorating on your self-esteem, your confidence, the way you view yourself.” she told Malika before adding, “Even anxiety to post photos on Instagram,” she continued. “Even when I’m like, ‘I barely did retouching’ but I’m so afraid to post it because people are gonna say I did this.”
Ultimately, Khloe understands that being in the public eye due to fame is not an easy thing to deal with. Thankfully, she has her family to support her and calm her nerves down during times like these.
“I think anytime that you’re in the public eye, it just opens you up for scrutiny and criticism about every little thing,” her mom Kris Jenner, 66, said in a confessional. “And I think with Khloé, she does internalize that and I think you really have to have tough, thick skin, which all of us have, but every once in a while, our emotions just get the best of us.”
