All the Demi Lovato hate that has been going around literally plays off her bipolar disorder and I never realized it until she spoke up about it on Twitter. But like, everybody complains that she’s either super annoying in perkiness, obnoxious, or overly dramatic.
She explained how her reactions to things are oftentimes informed by her mental illness. And how things that might not seem like a big deal to some (i.e. Nicki Minaj being dismissive) are amplified for her because of her mental and emotional state.
As someone with anxiety and depression–you know what?–I would ALSO be upset if an artist I liked was caught on photo expressing disgust towards me. I would ALSO be upset if immature internet users were tweeting me hateful things.
And you assholes have the nerve to use Twitter and Tumblr to mock her over how she reacts to things? The girl struggles with more than one mental illness–she’s likely not going to react with Kimmy Schmidt enthusiasm or nonchalance to everything she experiences.
What? Are you trying to live out some high school fantasy, in which you position yourself as the “cool kid” or the bully?
Or maybe you’re just shitty people. Who knows. Regardless, all the negativity has emotionally pummeled a girl who has a history of suicide attempts and cutting. And when she expressed her feelings on Twitter, she’s branded as being dramatic and wanting attention?
Honestly, some of you are horrible human beings; it’s a shame that your parents failed to raise you to become a decent person.
