Selena Gomez believes Instagram is 'destroying' at least some of her generation.
Despite having been one of the most followed people on Instagram at one point, with the pop superstar having slid to fourth most followed , Gomez has some thoughts on the platform. magazine, Gomez received an inquiry from photographer Brianna Capozzi: would she get rid of Instagram if she could "hit a button" and do so?
"Oh gosh! I think I’d have a lot of people not liking me for saying yes," said Gomez. "If I could find a balanced, happy medium that would be great, but I would be lying if I said that it isn’t destroying some of my generation, their identity. It’s a huge part of why I named my album Rare—because there’s so much pressure to look the same as everyone else. It was scary going back on—the first four days I was like, ‘No, there’s no way I can do this.
"Well, I don’t read anything, I don’t read any single thing," she said. "That’s been kind of hard, because I was used to reading everything for so long. But I don’t, and I mean that. You know, when I found out that [] was getting great reviews I appreciated hearing it but I just can’t pay attention: the moment I do I start getting insecure and I just feel empty. It’s so much nicer not to know sometimes.
Gomez plans on looking forward for the future, even with all the hurt that using social media can offer, she confirmed later during the interview. She's focusing on "leaving behind" the girl she once knew who was "timid, weak, abused, and silent." That much is quite evident from her latest album release,"Now I’m stepping into who I’m meant to be; I’m leaving that girl behind. I’m giving her a hug. I am who I am.
