It&#8217;s likely a combination of a lot of factors (as it is for just about anyone who goes on a social media cleanse), but it&#8217;s still sad to see that she feels overwhelmed by negativity on the site, especially given the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eonline.com\/shows\/peoples_choice_awards\/news\/1033842\/how-a-vow-of-silence-turned-lizzo-into-a-body-positive-queen-with-an-unstoppable-singing-career\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">overwhelming positivity<\/a>&nbsp;she spreads to her fans.<\/p>\n<p>On Jan. 4, for example, one Twitter user shared a selfie on their account that they said would not have been posted had it not been for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eonline.com\/news\/1101630\/lizzo-s-body-positive-movement-helps-crown-her-time-s-entertainer-of-the-year\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lizzo&#8217;s body positivity<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"text-2\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"56.383783783784\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-text-only\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"11.091891891892\">\n<p>Sharing a mirror selfie, the Lizzo fan <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Kelia_KeliaC\/status\/1213631148804493313\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">wrote<\/a>, &#8220;Was a bit nervous to post this photo, but my girl @lizzo has motivated me in numerous ways to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eonline.com\/news\/1098414\/lizzo-goes-completely-naked-for-nsfw-at-home-photoshoot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">celebrate who I am<\/a> and to love the way God created me.

Now everyone&#8217;s looking at it. And your criticism can just remain your criticism. Your criticism has no effect on me.
