Aminado si Liza Soberano na hindi na siya ganu’n ka-active sa social media like she used to noong nandito pa siya sa Pilipinas.
Sinabi ito ng aktres sa guesting niya sa vlog ng aktor na si Edward Barber na “Painfully Human Podcast”.
Ayon kay Liza, mas nag-improve ang kanyang mental health simula nang mag-lie low siya sa socmed.
“Ever since I stopped being as active on social media, I think, like, for the first time, I can actually breathe, and I have a better perspective on the world.
“Like I understand now that the world is so big and the problems that I face or the problems that kind of pop up on my algorithm or social media isn’t like the whole world and isn’t the opinion of everyone,” saad niya.
Inamin din niyang dahil nga sa pagiging maingay at opinionated niya sa socmed before ay parati siyang naba-bash.
“Before, I was very noisy on social media and very opinionated and I would get kind of in trouble for it a lot of times and I knew that I was going to get in trouble for it and I would still do it, anyway.
“But when I would receive the backlash like even though I knew and I anticipated it, it didn’t change the fact that it would still hurt and affect me and I just felt I was so unliked and I just felt the need to be understood by everyone.
“And so, I feel like my whole kind of teenage years and like, I guess, career here in the Philippines, I always like was just trying to make myself clear to everyone as possible, which kind of ended up being very taxing on me as an individual because I felt like I didn’t know who I was. I was just building this person to be the perfect person for everyone,” mahabang paliwanag ni Liza.
Ngayon ay mas tahimik daw ang buhay niya unlike before na pati emojis niya ay binibigyan ng meaning ng bashers.
“So now, that I’m not on social media, I don’t care about being understood by people and I don’t care about competing or just showing people what they want to see necessarily and I don’t freak out over every little thing. I think I was such an anxious person before and so I would even overthink emojis (sabay-tawa).
“’Coz like they would put meaning behind emojis and I’m just like, ‘no, I just thought it was cute-looking,” sey niya. (Vinia Vivar)
