Unhealthy need for confirmation

– Now I mostly wonder if I know what I want. I can barely make decisions anymore. It took four years for my new record to come out. The more I have learned, the more I understand that I do not understand. For each step, there are two new choices. Before, I chose war and confrontations, went hard and never gave up. Now I can no longer argue with old men online.
– Lost and unmotivated
The interview is reproduced by Aftonbladet.
Larsson also explains that she reads all the comment fields in her social media to see what people think about her, which she describes as an “unhealthy need for confirmation”.

– It is at such moments that I can not stop. When I do not feel on top. When I need an injection of confirmation, straight into the bloodstream. I dare to move out into the water again, when I have released new music. Then there is less risk of seeing someone write about me and my personality.

– I kind of do not understand that I myself have dealt with rapists, that I myself have been raped. That what never before felt like a trauma comes later in life and catches me in waves of tears and guilt with other boys who do not force one into sex. That what never felt like a trauma today shows up as a feeling of panic as soon as I see my name a newspaper headline or as a trend on Twitter. The heart rate rises, the palms are wet. I feel shivering, I get a stomach ache, she says.
