Sydney Grows, a fitness content creator who “fell into the role” when she started posting TikTok’s since 2021 says “it’s a dream”.”I am very lucky, the health and fitness industry, the people are lovely the opportunities are incredible and I feel like I am living my dream every day,” she says. Grows, who promotes authenticity with gym interactions, sporting events and more, actively tries to be a positive space in the world.But she also knows the negative side: “I tend to block out the negative comments, I’ve had four years worth of practice to build the resilience.”But you know, you’ll get 100 positive comments and it doesn’t sink in but then you get one negative comment and it feels personal and it hurts.”But, like pandoras’ box social media has been released so is here to stay. Plant says: “It’s about being realistic and looking at yourself – the platforms won’t stop you and the government, if you’re an adult, won’t put restrictions in place so it’s down to you.”If you go ‘I am looking at other people and their life seems better than mine’ then I am going to feel worse.”So instead go ‘I will go out and try to talk to people more’.”Overall the aim is to put the social back into social media.”
