"?I've been making fashion videos online for about six months now and working towards making it an income for me.
"My friends haven't been supportive at all, they don't like or comment on any of my stuff and I can tell they think it's cringe."
The woman was devastated when she discovered, via a TikTok notification, that her friends had been leaving mean anonymous comments on her videos, trolling her content.
"Recently I sent the link for my TikTok into a group chat?, basically to say, 'This is what I'm wearing tonight'," Wells continued.
