"In the lengthy post Sivan described flitting between "feeling like I'm aging in a good way" and "feeling like Gollum's very close pop-singing relative". He also described feeling "somehow both skinny and fat at the same time"."
"Reaffirming his body positive ethos, Sivan said he fluctuates between two approaches to dealing with body image pressures. The first is a healthier approach and is based around some advice he's been given "from a person at the very top of the fashion world - 'stay ugly'. Ie. don't f*** with your face". He continued: "How cool!! When everyone else has the same nose and no wrinkles and no smile lines and filler that's migrated all the way down to their necks, you'll be so happy and chic and weathered and wise.""
"Sivan also shared he'd been going to the gym more, eating more and tracking calories "in a way that feels less toxic than it sounds" and that he's been getting "more muscley [sic], defined, and toned.""
Troye Sivan experienced body-image struggles after a TikToker suggested he was undergoing 'twink death,' prompting a candid Substack post originally titled "F*** this guy!!". Sivan described oscillating between feeling like he is aging well and feeling unattractive, reporting sensations of being "both skinny and fat at the same time." He acknowledged moving out of a previously "twinky" phase and said he is no longer as skinny. Sivan outlined two approaches to body-image pressure: embracing natural aging and resisting cosmetic alteration, and pursuing fitness and calorie tracking in ways he finds healthier and less toxic.
