Why do so many fans get defensive and attack other fans who suggest Britney might need help?

[No Seas Cortes]

The denial of some Britney fans and their tendency to perceive everything as a form of attack towards Britney, when in reality it's genuine concern for her mental health, should be studied

And don't get me wrong, I acknowledge that there are a lot of people who say mean things and don't know how to really talk about this, but this doesn't mean everyone's intention is to be that way. There are too many fans who think stanning someone means agreeing with everything they do, and it's deeply immature

After three years of observing her social media content and the articles/reports we've received about her, if you still believe this woman is healing and that her behavior represents freedom and happiness, I'm at a loss for how deeply in denial you must be

[---]

it's the manner in which it is suggested. it's the disgust, the disdain, and the objectification. her life is treated like a joke among popular children and the way they present their "empathy" is offensive. not to mention how repetitive it is.
"omg she looks like a crackhead" is not support.

We don't know her
She has people in her life who actually know her. They can help her if she needs help.

I feel Britney might find herself very amused reading comments from strangers who, despite lacking any medical background, claim to understand her mental health and express “concern” for her well-being just because she’s posting 1-minute-long videos without being dolled up. Y’all wanted to "free" Britney, but only the version of her that you felt was palatable to you.

I agree she should be more careful (I don’t think she gives a flying ****, rightfully so) about the content she’s posting online, but calling her stupid and crazy is insane and disgusting on your part. Weren’t you the one calling Britney stupid just the other day? 

Henry, you catfished a whole boy's existence, stole his image, claimed to work for his dad's company, and stole his mannerisms. Yet, you're talking about mental health? Girl, the fact that you're still here allowed to post is very suspicious, considering that catfishing is against the forum's community rules. A laughing stock, indeed, but very surprising you’re talking about Britney’s mental health when in fact you’re the one who needs a professional 🪑 sit down. Take several seats!

It's her problem my god !

Are you a perfect human being ? With exemplary behavior ? A perfect healthy life ? I guess no since you don't know what respect his.

I'm fine with worrying if it comes from the right place but a lot people say it in degrading and ignorant way. It's way to say something.

It's undeniable that Britney needs help, and I really wish she manages to recover. She has gone through so much, but I believe she'll slowly heal. No matter how long that process can be, she'll bounce back. She's strong

Also I put the quote on my post on accident but I can't delete bc I'm on my phone

because its all relative.

yes a lot of people can see her videos as "concerning" but concerning in what way? concerning that their pop idol is posting this? or concerning because theres real concern?

i think people are more concerned she doesn't have a pop star image than her true well being.

me personally feel she's just deeply depressed because i have been deeply depressed and you kinda don't want to shower. are messy, look messy, and call for attention in the weirdest ways. but that is just my opinion.

but in the grand scheme of things... she's fine guys... she's just not the pop star you all want her to be. also at the same time i am not blind and i can see she's not like totally ok but... she has earned the right to be messy at home... she's free to do whatever she wants and she's living off her own dime too. so i guess its not really our place.

It‘s because a lot of fans don‘t want to face the truth….

It went all down after 2004, „Blackout“ was like a miracle and i‘m not defending the Cship but since she‘s free - she never has been in such a bad condition EVER! 

We all hoped that she would recover from all she went thru but it sadly shows now that it was way to late….

And i don‘t blame her!

Totally agree with you and love your grounded comment! <3 There is a way to say things without degrading and dehumanizing her.

I'm glad you mentioned this because I'm actually a victim in this situation. It was years ago and I never, ever in my Exhale life claimed this is me. So many of you have people that aren't you as profile pictures. I was being attacked and gaslighted by some bullies like you and your friend PutaButItFeelsAllright, which made everyone believe I'm some sort of catfish, and it's incredibly disgusting. You should be immediately banned for creating fake narratives, and all the stories from my personal life are true.

Also, acting like you're not one of the darkest and biggest weirdos on this site is insane. And it's also the getting defensive as a fan, even when I ask questions why you're defensive. You're the clown

In some cases, catfishing can be a symptom of more significant mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, or loneliness. Henry. is in denial but struggling with the darker side of catfishing, it’s concerning. Not only that, but he was suspended not long ago for making fun of someone that’s HIV+. His place is outside, taking care of his mental health, not on a Britney forum spewing hate and making fun of others.

[Gutterguppy]

I feel as though a lot of users here choose to forget that what she went through is incredibly unique and she is an anomaly. Yes, we know her posts are cringe/weird, but to say that she's not on the right path to healing because of what you perceive is the right way to heal is fucced up. Social media is not a barometer for how well a person is doing. If I had to endure a crumb of what Britney's gone through, I can't say I'd be here today, and I think many of you would say the same.

There is no such thing as the 'perfect' abuse/trauma survivor.
