Often, celebrities' Instagram accounts serve as a one-way window into their lives. They post a photo with a cute caption, we freak out, the cycle repeats itself. But every so often, a celeb will actually take the time to reply to the comments left on their photos, and it often offers a revealing glimpse into their personal life.

Such is the case with Paris Jackson, the 17-year-old daughter of Michael. She spoke out in a recent Instagram post about the pressure people put on her to reply to every single one of her comments, saying "I am expected to literally sit on my ass all day replying to comments people leave me (positive and negative)?" In one comment, she mentioned that she had "AA meetings" and "family obligations" to attend to, emphasizing that these were all "PERSONAL" obligations. She added that "it's so...selfish that I am literally attacked on every...thing I post because people that I DON'T EVEN KNOW aren't getting what they want."

Paris also said that "people have been ramming me since the second I unchecked the privacy button. I'm just not taking [it] anymore...like when I was 14 and deleting every single comment by hand because people were fighting too much and sending to so much hate to the point where I was suicidal? It's always been like this." She also pointed out that "the expectations for my DAD were f*cking ridiculous," she said, "He didn't owe you anything, yet he was ripped to shreds DAILY. I will not let that happen to me."

It's a sobering reminder that, in a world where we feel like we know everything about a celebrity because we have constant access on multiple social media channels to their lives, they don't owe us as much as you might think. And even if they do comment back here and there, it's not for us to say that they should spend all day replying to fans. After all — they have jobs to do, and simply want to live their own lives, too. Finding the balance between a life online and one IRL isn't selfish of Paris, and people shouldn't vilify her for it, either.
