SHARON MUNDIA SPEAKS ABOUT HER TOXIC FRIENDSHIP WITH POPULAR INFLUENCER

Lifestyle vlogger Sharon Mundia says a few years ago while starting her career in content creation, she was friends with a popular influencer but she was mean and sly and she had to end their friendship. Though she did not name the woman, she said she feared the influencer because she thought she had the power to end her career in the industry.

“It’s okay to let people go or cut them out completely. Recently I was telling a friend about a really toxic friendship that I had at the start of my career in content creation and how it took me forever to walk away from that because I felt she had the power to cancel me in this industry.

It took me a long time to be comfortable and know that I am my own person and I do not need her approval, and that I can absolutely cut her off and I do not need to have any engagement with her. I don’t think it works for everybody and it should not be a solution for everyone. But it is important to know when to cut people off and to be very clear that there are boundaries they don’t need to cross.

It took a minute for me to realise that, but it was one of the most liberating things, the minute I knew I don’t have to have a relationship with this woman because she was very mean girl in a sly way. By the time I released I do not only admire and respected her, but I was scared about the things she will do and say about me, I was so under her thumb.”
