Kim Kardashian Reveals How Instagram Impacts Her Mental Health

And how she changed her use of the platform after her Paris robbery
  • 07 Nov 2019

Kim Kardashian is one of the most followed people in the world on Instagram with over 150m fans watching - and commenting - on her every move. While the mother-of-four thankfully doesn't let the criticism get to her, she knows she's one of the lucky ones when it comes to social media and her mental health.

Speaking at the New York Times‘ DealBrook Conference, Kim said she thinks the removal of likes from Instagram posts, something the company has been testing since August, would positively benefit a lot of people. “As far as mental health… I think taking the likes away and taking that aspect away from [Instagram] would be really beneficial for people,” she said according to People.

“I know the Instagram team has been having a bunch of conversations with people to get everyone’s take on that and they’re taking it really seriously, and that makes me happy.”

Kim went on to say that while she doesn't personally struggle with negative press or feedback on social media, she knows people who do. “I find myself to be extremely mentally strong and I have people who are obsessed with the comments, and I find that to be really unhealthy,” she explained. “I struggle with having to step outside of how I feel and thinking about, ‘What if one of my children was like one of my friends who wasn’t as mentally strong and would really be affected by the comments?' That would really affect me.”

“It is tricky and when I raise my kids, I think about screen time, phone time, what to post, what not to post,” she explained, before going on to say her Paris robbery in October 2016 led her to be more careful with what she shares.

“Even posting things in real-time, I learned from a bad experience I had when I was robbed that people knew my every move, what I had, where I was, what I was doing, and that, to me, really changed the things that I post,” she said. “I still want people to feel like they’re on that journey with me, but I might video something and then post it when I’ve left the location for privacy.”
