Taylor latest excuse for lack of social media is she gets depressed and insecure and kept asking if this was normal.  For me it is not.  Is it for any of you ladies and gentleman?
I look at my friend's social media and I am happy to see their happy news.  The only part of social media I do not care for is when I have friends posting nothing but complaints.    
Am I normal?

 
You are entirely normal. Taylor will continue to come up with excuses for everything in her life because she is lazy AF and wants to be paid to do nothing.

1. She wants her friends (old) to be her friends without any effort from her because she doesn’t have a car to visit them outside of the city.
2. She didn’t check any of her Sirius emails because she “forgot her password.” (And of course, she knew there would be work events in those emails...)
3. She will pay $40 for delivery of $20 of food from a place across the street because she’s too lazy to get up and walk over there and get it.

Shall I go on? Any more you would care to add?

And yet, several times throughout each show, you all get to hear, “Check out my social media...because I am a great Instagram storyteller, if I do say so myself....” 🙄

Hearing that clip of "check out my social media" was what almost made me cancel my subscription yesterday. For some reason it seriously irked me. Just own that you suck at it. The fact that Taylor think's she is great at instagram story is pure delusion. Every. Single. One. is her in her bed. For fuck's sake make a story walking down the street in NYC -  it's the spring and absolutely beautiful there. ITS NOT THAT HARD.

Now that I think of it for the sake of my blood pressure, I really should cancel my subscription. 

Was she saying she's depressed because of social media or that she's depressed and it makes her not want to post? Both are real, but it's not really an excuse for her business not to post when she doesn't have to be the one to do it.

I meant to post this when I saw it, a few weeks ago she posted a meme on her instastory about how she wants to go out but doesn't like how she looks.  Did anyone else see that?  It's kind of sad, I think she's in a real funk.  Perhaps this is not the career for her if she's so sensitive or if she can't "act" like a happy, successful media person.  Fake it til you make it, gal.  

And especially when your girlfriend is a professional photographer...even if you don't look or feel great. She can make you look great! Even a far away shot of you walking down the street.

Another part that annoyed me about the Lauren story is that taylor was like I was so sad because I was missing my GF. Seriously? The co-dependency those 2 have on each other is not healthy. At. All.

I can't decided if the co-dependency is an act she plays up bc she thinks it's cute or she is really that bad.  I mean its pathetic.  It's hard to believe it true bc its so pathetic.  Same with the 'instamostiy" and Sean and Hannah "Yes man-ing" her to death is why she has such a problem in life.  I just cant believe she has gotten away with it for so long.  I have a friend who is lot like Taylor.  Always a victim, never her fault, excuse after excuse, and I am always amazed by the things she gets away with.  In my life, I can't be such a victim, I have to be a problem solver on the fly or no one does it for me. 
Side note: she told a story a few times last week about her and her sister fighting and she hurt her sister but it wasn't her fault bc Paige *almost* hurt her finger really bad, in the whiniest voice she could muster. I don't know why that annoyed me so much.  So you actually hurt your sister but she almost hurt you really bad and its not your fault.  Btw how does one almost get hurt to the level of really bad.

And why is this a topic she brings up once a week and tells the same exact story about her college friends getting mad at her about it. 
BTW the way she presented the fight she had with her friend Lauren about posting while she was at the wedding and her mom died was so grossly misrepresented and a new low of self-centered.  

 
YES! THIS👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻 I actually posted this on the wrong thread... but this really bothered me so much. She twisted this completely around and took absolutely NO RESPONSIBILITY whatsoever in the whole thing. (Do you all remember when she talked on air about this with our buddy Carin Rockind? And Carin absolved her of responsibility as well? She also had the balls to blame Lauren-the friend-for this too! Crazy nut job...)

And once again, as the conversation with her two ‘yes-men’ (Sean and Hannah) continued, I was amazed at how many fights she gets in with friends. I don’t think I’ve had a friend fight since elementary school. She’s literally nuts.

Why do I continue to follow Taylor on social media?  She's complaining about how TIRRRREEDDDD she is while working at Cannes?  Is that from all the networking she's doing, all the new connections she's made while there?  Other than that one interview, has she done anything else?  How would we know - certainly not from social media.  

I have to say,  Taylor is doing better about posting.  That's a plus. 

She's been posting more in Cannes but I think it's only because she has something brag-worthy to post about.  If her life was filled with fancy restaurants and private jets I'm sure we'd see a lot more from her.

Taylor keeps saying she doesn't do social media bc she gives two full hours every single day to her listeners and always make sure to add in there it used to be four FULL HOURS.  So when she is done, she is exhausted and feels like she needs to keep some things to herself. I do get the privacy part.
It is usually between this and the social media makes her jealous and depressed and she only likes posting her pictures not looking at other people's stuff.
Is the I give myself fully for two hours out of a 24 hour day a good excuse? 

 
It’s all bullshit. Ya know what a lot of us do? Wake up at the same time as her - 5:30-6. Shower as fast as humanly possible before some short mini terrorist version of ourselves starts yelling. Get everyone ready for their day, drop off at school and daycare. Eat a banana in the car while applying makeup on the way to work. Now it’s 8am. Work all day (4:30-5) - actually work, with responsibilities and staff and HR problems and managers. Commute home, likely in traffic. See families/make dinner/ do homework/post adorable and endearing photos on social media/clean the house/ mad dash until bedtime. 7:30 to 9 - or whenever the little darlings rest - bring 200 glasses of water, escort on 58 potty breaks - until the eyes close. 9pm - finally sit down and have to minutes to yourself befor actual Netflix and Chilling.

It’s life! Sometimes it’s draining but it’s all good. Most days are great, some days ya just need to vent. Working two hours (or even 4) on a podcast day pales in comparison to what every single person on this board does during their day, I’d bet money on it.

Don’t have a kid Taylor, you might keel over.

YES, YES YES! I understand not wanting to give away part of your life but it is 100% just an excuse since she overshares sooo much.
She can post pics with guests, she can post something about a show that's on without even being in the picture! She can post memes! Sooommmething. It doesn't have to be about her life outside of the show. I don't subscribe and don't miss the show, especially if she is doing the same old.
I used to miss the option of a female centered show in the morning and Michelle Collins has fulfilled that - social media and all.

There’s a 2 week free trial of Sirius going on right now, and she does have a podcast.

The problem with her statement is, “I give myself fully...”

She isn’t giving anything anymore. Hence the reason WE can tell every story of her life, in our sleep, and can name who the people are in them (using real names, if you’d like us to!) since birth. Did you know she got left behind on a ski trip once? Yep...they told her the seatbelt didn’t work. (Babs says they were just jealous of her). How about that friend who was mad (but we all know the truth...) because she couldn’t call from the wedding of the century? (She’s JJ too...right Babs?) Or that her bff from when she was little is now a gay professor at (guess where??) Harvard! And his mom and Babs had a fight when they were younger and weren’t speaking until not that long ago...so now he and Taylor are friends again (Babs must have given her the go-ahead to speak to him, huh?).

So, no, I don’t think she’s giving to anyone ‘fully’ in this job. She’s not printing out real ‘surprise me’ questions; she’s not paying for a producer (it will cut into her Postmates and Sancerre budget); and she’s not going to let ANYONE talk over her. It’s her show dammit, and if she wants to be lazy, she’s going to be. A social climbing, lazy person...but she’s authentic, right?? 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️
