Not many of us say this very often, but the job of a full-time influencer and content creator isn’t as simple as we think. There is constant internal and external pressure involved, what’s more, the feedback is immediate. Of course, this feedback can be brutal on some days, which only adds to the pressure. But they are also expected to build an unreal space where talking about real things, like mental health, is a big deal.
