Millie Bobby Brown, who gained fame at 11 from her role in "Stranger Things," shares how her career affected her social development. She expressed feeling isolated, stating that her fame limits her friendships and that she missed typical teenage experiences like school. The pressures of early recognition led to panic attacks, prompting her to carefully manage who she allows into her life. Now married and living on a farm, she finds joy and comfort in her noisy but loving environment, emphasizing the importance of self-advocacy amidst past challenges.
I don't have many friends, because of who I am. I didn't go to school, so I don't have the best social skills when it comes to people my own age.
I don't allow many people into my life, and when I do, I think it should be super moderated, because the press has been very harsh on me.
I started this really young, and I felt that the press specifically was very, very harsh on me. And so I just like to make sure that I'm advocating for myself.
My animals are loud, and it's messy and my dogs are crazy. And there is, you know, laughter... that's my happy place.
