Spiranac continued: “At the Internet Invitational, I was really excited because I felt like I could fit in in the industry and be there for my team and show up. I was really excited about it.<\/p>\n

“So it’s just been really hard to see this reaction to being so unliked. I hate it.<\/p>\n

“I know there are more important things in life than wanting to be liked, but I do want to be liked, and I want to fit in.<\/p>\n

“I’ve tried for a lot of my life to find places where I can fit in, and when I was at the Internet Invitational, I felt really good. Now to watch it back, and these deep insecurities from childhood or whatever are coming back, and it’s confirmation that you’re actually not liked, you’re annoying, no one likes you, and you suck and you’re terrible.<\/p>\n

“It’s just hard because you feel good in that one moment, and that maybe you’re going to be liked and fit in. And it’s like ‘just kidding. Everyone hates you.'”<\/p>\n
