Rickey Thompson has over 2.8 million Instagram followers and here's why:
Rickey Thompson is shy. This may surprise his loyal followers, given his seemingly effortless charismatic and lively personality online. The former Vine star, best known for his uplifting and empowering humor, YouTube videos, and candid internet presence, tells me,"I actually get really nervous when I go to events by myself [in Los Angeles].
Before returning back to Los Angeles at the end of a very busy New York Fashion Week, Thompson made time to speak with me about his ever-evolving relationship to the internet, how his fame has shaped even his closest relationships, and what advice he has for someone struggling to be who they are.I was born in North Carolina, and constantly afraid of what people thought of me. I have always been shy.
The biggest thing I've learned [from the internet] is not to be afraid to be myself. I feel like a lot of people fell in love with me because I am myself. I feel like now I'm not as afraid to hold back from what I say at all. I feel like it's also becoming easier to be myself. I am more comfortable. I love the internet because it's a place where it's cool to be weird and different, and I love that.I eat and breathe the internet.
