Paige Spiranac has revealed she’s stepping away from social media. The reason? A battle with societal anxiety. Yes, even the queen of confident selfies gets overwhelmed sometimes.
Let’s be honest. Social media is not for the weak. It’s a nonstop talent show mixed with a comment section that thinks it’s a Supreme Court. Everyone has opinions, everyone has advice and everyone suddenly has a psychology degree.
Paige built a massive online following by mixing golf, confidence, and just enough sass to keep people talking. She leaned into the spotlight, handled critics and posted through the chaos.
But even the strongest Wi-Fi signal needs a break, so is Paige.
‘I am in a bit of a funk, a rut if you will, and its not like a one or two day thing,’ Spiranac explained, while thanking her fan for asking how she is. ‘This has been going on for a little bit.
‘I feel like I’ve just been so in my head about everything and I’m just trying to work through it. I think that’s why I haven’t been posting as much because I am just overthinking everything and I just feel like my anxiety has taken control.
‘I’m trying to push myself outside of that and post more and get back to what I was doing before. I feel like I haven’t been active because I’ve just been in my own head, in this kind of funky rut that I am in and we are working through it.’
Paige Spiranac also revealed she’s stopped playing golf to focusing on herself.
‘I almost felt bad for myself for such a long time and I was frustrated why people weren’t seeing me in a certain way or seeing me for me,’ she said.
‘And then I realized that they’re only seeing what I’m showing. I can sit there and I can complain about it, or I can do something about it. And that’s showing more of myself and my personality.
‘I think that I put so many walls up because this job can be draining sometimes and quite soul-sucking.
‘I think I put barriers up to protect myself and started to morph and change into a person that I didn’t really recognize and that I didn’t see as well.’
And when she does return? The internet will still be here, probably arguing about something random.
Until then, consider this a reminder, even the most confident person on your feed might need a timeout.
