In a recent interview, the reality TV star discussed her life and connections.
Phyna pointed out that, while having a thriving online presence, she doesn’t actually have many friends in real life. She also highlighted a disconnect between her online and offline interactions.
Despite her former friendships, she admitted that some had moved on from her after the show, while others had high expectations of her that she was never able to meet.
In her words:
“I’m always lively on social media, but off-camera, I spend most of my time alone. I don’t have friends.”
“Before entering the show, I didn’t have many friends either. Now, I find myself mostly alone”.
Fans and followers reacts to Phyna’s admission with many relating to her story on friendships and relationships to theirs.
@afia__agyeiwaa: “Having too many friends is wahala on Its own.”
@Karoluchi1: “Awww Phyna is so many of us oo.. Even those that think they’ve many friends are mostly alone innit.”
@JiEun_omma: “Having too much friends isn’t good either. Speaking on personal experience, I’d advise she gets on some of these chat sites and make pen friends from all walks of life, not just Nigerians, sometimes they actually make the best and most attentive friends.”
@LoriderJones: “I have no friends no boyfriends, my life is so weird and no one even calls me except my family, but am so happy that way.”
I don’t have friends. Sometimes I stay a whole day and my phone wouldn’t ring. On social media I look bubbly but off camera I’m always alone.
