Maybe it's the lack of control on the situation. You can restrict or control anything about your own life decisions but you have next to no say in how people perceive you or how they choose to live. She's been in such a dense bubble for so long that naturally, opening herself to be criticised (for better or worse) is probably terrifying. She may be exposing her life online for income but she can block out what she doesn't want to hear and a bunch of faceless "haters" on a forum isn't the same as being emotionally vulnerable in front of someone else.
That makes sense for her.. It's just a little sad to be 23 and never been out with a guy (if your into them and want to date). Now that I think about it, she doesn't even go out with friends (correct me if I'm wrong, I didn't watch the latest vlogs), yes there is covid but you can meet people according to the regulations.

I think it's kinda impressive how Holly's morning routine recreations are usually boring and/or weird to watch, don't get a lot of views and always give off the impression that she doesn't enjoy filming them - and yet Holly keeps banging them out. She's nothing if not consistent lol. (I haven't watched her newest one yet though so I can't really say anything about that one)

I'm actually speechless... She ate a normal bagel in that following Natasha Oceane's morning routine video! Also she used a cleanser as a moisturiser and didn't wash it off

i was quite surprised when I saw it was Natacha’s routine, especially because she has such a healthy mindset towards food and working out and we know Holly really doesn’t. I haven’t watched hollys video yet but I wonder what she’ll complain about lol.
Well, given that she didn't even have a sex drive at all thanks to bleeping up her sex hormones for years, that's a good thing. It would have been psychologically damaging to force herself into it just because "she's supposed to".
Well sex drive is not the only reason to date. Asexual people date too, you know.. I'm not saying that she is asexual, but that there are other reason to date beside sex.
She's not supposed to do it because everyone else does it, but it's clear that she wants to try dating but is too afraid. Sometimes you just have to go outside your confort zone, or at least try once!

RE dating, I do relate to Holly because it took until I was 22/23 to be seriously interested in dating (that was mostly because it took me ages to figure out I’m a lesbian but anyway). Once I did put two and two together, for me at least there was a strong element of feeling ‘behind’ my peers given that I never had any practice at dating during the awkward teenage years, and vague embarrassment at being inexperienced. So I wouldn’t be surprised if that combined her perfectionist tendencies is holding her back from actually getting on a dating app or whatever (in a serious way, not just for a joke video 
) even if something seems to have clicked at a conscious mental level given she’s talked about being open to dating. Plus as nice as it is to want a relationship to happen spontaneously when the right person walks into your life (paraphrasing something she said in a recent video), if you never even attempt to meet people and don’t have a normal work situation which involves encountering other humans then the likelihood of that happening is pretty much nil :/

She has spoken about her disordered eating and how she’s changed to a healthy mindset. Holly mentioned in a recent video she’s been watching her so hopefully she’s influencing her!

Oh ya I’ve seen her talk about orthorexia and what not before and I really like her content, I’m just surprised that Holly decided to follow her routine because Natacha is all about science and nutrition and what not. Like, I didn’t expect her to follow someone so… healthy?? If that makes sense lol. But ya, I hope Holly keeps watching her because I think Natacha is great!

Massive cringe when i was watching her skincare routine recreationI'm actually speechless... She ate a normal bagel in that following Natasha Oceane's morning routine video! Also she used a cleanser as a moisturiser and didn't wash it off
Basically cleanser+cleanser and then sunscreen. Does she not read instructions? Why did she use the first cleanser properly and not the other? The product clearly says CLEANSER and she read it out loud as well. I hope more people take skincare seriously, basic and effective skincare doesn't have to be expensive. Cleanser, moisturiser and sunscreen is just enough. Skincare is not just for aesthetics, it's for the health of your skin 
. Holly definitely has the money to afford a good routine but I guess she's too "quirky" for that. No offence to those who really couldn't afford one tho...Yes, yes, yes. Also, it is so half-assed and lazy again. Why do those recreation videos at all if you don't want to change any of your own "ingredients"? Like you said, a good moisturizer isn't that hard to find and doesn't need to be expensive. But her recreation videos are so shallow. I don't see any value in them (entertainment, information...).Massive cringe when i was watching her skincare routine recreation
It sounded like she was just saying that to avoid criticism but I'm not convinced that she actually supports vaccines. I have never heard anyone say they will "probably" take the vaccine. Everyone I've spoken to has either been excited or completely against it.
yeah she would have already been offered at least her first ages ago, and if you want to get them now there are loads of walk in centres. I bet she won't get it

Holly's a weird one because she is obviously of the opinion that she doesn't need medical help for a lot of things (ED, loss of period for instance). But she is also studying biology and from the looks of a story the other day she's making a ByHollyG video about the covid vaccine! So she's not ignorant to the benefits of medicine. And with her audience just a wee "I got the vaccine today!" Instagram story could convince someone that getting the vaccine isn't a bad thing
but she will be eventually and the sooner you get it the better
But she’s been going out and about a lot more recently even if it is the odd trip to and from London to meet a few people she’s titled the videos/Instagram stories “meeting new people”
