.selenagomez opened up about how social media got to her “big time,” and now that she’s keeping her distance, she feels a lot better about herself
"I experienced [body-shaming] with my weight fluctuation for the first time," Gomez told Stevens before admitting that most of the body-shaming comments came when she was struggling the most with her health."I have lupus and deal with kidney issues and high blood pressure, so I deal with a lot of health issues, and for me that's when I really started noticing more of the body-image stuff.
It was at that time in her life that Gomez saw firsthand how toxic social media can be, saying it"got to me big time" and"really messed me up for a bit." Now, she's taken several steps back and has focused on living her life in the moment instead of living it through a screen."I don't care to expose myself to everyone and hear what they have to say about it," she said.
Despite the hurtful comments about her body, Gomez still came out on the other side with some important life lessons, first and foremost being to"treat other people the way you wish you were treated." As for those who hurt her, Gomez said she had to learn"to forgive them. And to continue to understand and have compassion for people." Look at her now!
