Dixie D\u2019Amelio \u201cbroke down\u201d over internet hate: \u201cI feel guilty for being alive\u201d YouTube: Dixie D’AmelioDixie D\u2019Amelio might be a massively popular TikTok star and music artist, but that doesn\u2019t stop the internet from sharing their critiques \u2014 and some of the comments have become so brutal that it\u2019s severely impacting her mental health. The life of an influencer might seem like a daydream; vlogging exotic vacations, trying on hauls of expensive clothes, and raking in the big bucks for posting a couple TikTok videos certainly comes across as a charmed life. However, many social media stars are finding themselves bearing the brunt of the internet\u2019s frustration, with some even becoming victims of frightening stalkers in real life. While some communities are more voracious than others, it seems that TikTok has become a hive for hateful comments \u2014 and it\u2019s wearing Dixie D\u2019Amelio down, who opened up on the topic during a recent episode of her \u20182 Chix\u2019 podcast with little sis Charli. View this post on Instagram During the episode, Dixie revealed that she suffers from \u201cexplosions of emotions\u201d due to certain health issues that she didn\u2019t elaborate on, admitting that she\u2019s started taking medication for the problem. That being said, the internet can\u2019t see everything that happens outside of her online posts, leading to multiple instances of commenters hurling criticism toward the star for what they perceive to be an \u201centitled attitude\u201d on multiple occasions. \u201cI try to show my actual self, because that\u2019s what people want to see on the internet, but I can\u2019t,\u201d Dixie said. \u201cRecently, I just feel guilty for every single thing I do, for every opportunity I have. I broke down the other day. I was like, \u2018Would I be doing more people a favor if I wasn\u2019t here?\u2019 I\u2019m not trying to\u2026 for sympathy or anything, I just want to be real. That\u2019s how I\u2019m feeling.\u201d Read More: Is TikTok\u2019s silhouette challenge dangerous? – \u201cI just feel guilty for being alive sometimes, for something I can\u2019t control,\u201d she continued. \u201cIt\u2019s affected me personally, and I\u2019ve been feeling this way for months, but when sometimes it gets on the internet and little parts of my actual\u2026 you get what I\u2019m trying to say.\u201d (Topic begins at 4:35) Dixie is well aware of the lengths the internet can go to make someone feel bad; in December, Dixie was driven to delete the teaser for her song \u2018One Whole Day\u2019 after critics brutally roasted the small clip of the music video, and even deleted her Twitter account in January for similar reasons. It doesn\u2019t look like Dixie is shying away from speaking out on the experience, though, as she even took real hate comments trolls left on her accounts to feature in her \u2018Roomates\u2019 music video. While it\u2019s easy to think that influencers are above the struggles of everyday life, it\u2019s always worth noting that there are real people behind the phone screen, no matter how privileged they might seem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
