kuntdiva 133 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I dont know if someone has talked about this before but I wanna know what ya'll think. I feel like gaga has lost her confidence! i don't know if it's on purpose but when I watch interviews from the last 2 years she's so different! i cant even imagine todays gaga saying the things 2008-2012 gaga would say and do. And it obvs hasnt affected her performances cause shes taken big risks and given some of the bests performances of her career recently. But in interviews and red carpets, I notice her twitching more/talking softly and being very.....reserved. She just carries herself as very fragile sometimes. Do you think she started to believe that no one cares about her anymore? for example this vid: when she walks down the stage she goes "i think they wanted me to do this" and explains herself as if she's embarassed to do it. Meanwhile if this was 2011 she would have strutted that **** with no apologies and fierce af. Sometimes I also wonder if her old management forced her to act like "Gaga" all the time and it was a forced persona and now that she has Bobby she acts how she wants in the public eye. LG5 era is coming up and I hope we get to see that confidence in Gaga again that we know she has! (even though I cant even picture it at this point) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katsuki Bakugo 9,788 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 She suffers anxiety and depression. She doesn't lack confidence. If All You Ever Do Is Look Down On People, You Won't Be Able To Recognize Your Own Weaknesses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuntdiva 133 Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 I understand but she's suffered that her whole career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacify Him 9,073 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Not really. That's just how she walked on that I Want Your Love video. She just made that connection as a nod or something. But concerning anything else, I think she is just calm before the storm that is LG5 I’m getting on your nerves Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzcutSeason 3,307 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I mean i would loose confidence if i were her. unless your in her position you don't understand people or idk the whole world kinda poking fun/being actually done with you. Her career was a battle to the top, and the fall wasn't nice. No matter if we her fans liked it, not all did and it didn't end well. As she rebuilds everything like she is she'll get more confident.

BUT that doesn't mean she lacks confidence. She was and had to put up a strong act before when Troy Carter was around. She was also at her peak and fighting to become a household name. She didn't know the pressures of celebrity life that she does now. Anxiety and Depression don't disappear because you get a #1 single and album. they are permanent and you can be great one day and a wreck the next second...

Iwontell 7,312 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Nobody is confident all the time...that's just not human. We have moments of strength in life, sure, but after all the attacks she has endured, it's hard not to feel somewhat insecure... Besides, too much confidence might be read as arrogance, so maybe this comes on her own benefit... ATTENTION: (bad) jokes and sarcasm are still a thing, so don't take everything I say literally. Thank you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LebaneseDude 6,146 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 2011 Gaga was a robot. It wasn't the real her. This is how Gaga actually is. Also I think you're conflating humility with confidence. A person lacking confidence would not have decimated the entire nation with a perfectly sung national anthem in front of an audience of a hundred million. Edited just now by LebaneseDude.

Lextyr97 19,953 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 She seems way happier to me now without all that fierceness. To me, that fierceness was a front- not necessarily in a bad way, but just because she was probably more insecure before. She was probably trying harder then to hide it. Idfk, no one kill me please. The way I see it, she is acting more calmly and comfortably. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronk 14,762 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Gaga is herself, not some bizarre entertainment image. I think she is more confident than ever with who she is. She is popular with the public just for being herself! I live outside the space time continuum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
venusfly 17,885 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 2009-12ga is someone desperate to finally make their career work out and get everyone's attention that she so deserves, this means not being personal, it means being a fierce pop icon with nothing to lose. 2013-presentga is Stefani Germanotta, she seems much more comfortable being herself and displaying her insecurities without feeling the need to hide behind a persona, she touches on this slightly in her Yale speech, about blurring the lines between the hybrid of Stefani and Gaga. .. at least this is what I have taken from her persona over the years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mobster 14,604 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 She just sang the National Anthem (live) for more than half of America to judge and criticize. She obviously doesn't lack confidence. I guess the word you're looking for is "daring". But then again, it's probably just the adequate persona that suits her current aesthetic. We are inbetween eras and she has already clarified that "Gaga is asleep" and will be back when LG5 is released. I think we're just micro analyzing random and insignificant instances, that could be interpreted in many different ways. But I'm only a man and I do what I can.

Church 849 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Gaga still has confidence, she just doesn't have that fierce, unstoppable, dominant type of vibe she had in the beginning. kiss kiss Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
