In 2019, Kylie opened up about her anxiety in a candid Instagram post, where she noted that “growing up in the light with a million eyes” on her simply wasn’t “normal.” And a year later, she told YouTuber James Charles that she’d resorted to hiding parts of her personality in order to protect herself from the harsh public scrutiny she’d long faced.“As I got bigger and bigger, I just realized… When people used to say mean things about how I really am, my personality, and what I love the most about myself, it would hurt me more than almost playing a character and not showing people everything,” she admitted.Meanwhile Kendall can trace the earliest instances of her anxiety back to when she first became famous.“I remember being really young — I’d say 8, 9, 10 — and having shortness of breath and going to my mom and telling her that,” she told Vogue in 2021. “I think being overworked and being in the situation that I’m in now is kind of what set it out of control in a way.”And Kendall went on to note that she sometimes even feels inclined to go to the hospital because of the severity of her panic attacks. “I’ve had times where I feel like I need to be rushed to the hospital because I think my heart’s failing and I can’t breathe and I need someone to help me,” she said, before adding, “Sometimes, I think I’m dying.”And similarly, Rob — who went from a staple figure on KUWTK to one who retreated from the spotlight almost entirely — has made it very clear over the years that he, too, has suffered as a result of fame.
