I’m so baffled at how she didn’t manage to make a single male friend throughout her entire degree at University. Especially doing nature sciences, which last tome I checked, had a male majority even in biology. Or even a neighbour or friend in college, the entire point of Cambridge colleges, to meet people doing different subjects who you live with. I’m surprised she didn’t apply to one of the female colleges.

Exactly! Although I remember her meeting up with another Cambridge vlogger called Joe Binder in one of her old vlogs. Their interactions were... interesting. I think he was just amused by her vegan propoganda and she went along with it 😂.

So has anyone here watched her "Stories about Boys" (?) video in full and can maybe give me a short summary? Cause I tried watching it myself, I really did, but for some reason it just made me cringe real hard. Maybe the fault lies with me, but Holly talking about boys/sex always seems to make me cringe😬

She always gives me atrong preteen energy so indeed, her talking about these is almost icky to me even though it shouldn't be?? It is wild to me that she barely had an actual conversation with a guy before Australia.

I just watched that old video:


(from 18:46 if anyone else wants to watch it), and... yes, interesting is the word. It felt awkward and forced (like two people trying very hard to look like they are friends). Joe seemed reasonably charismatic and friendly, but Holly wasn't really giving him anything to work with, interaction-wise.

when he says that it's a vlog-ception (because they're filming at the same time) and she doesn't get the reference...
after that she almost gets run over by a guy on a bike and joe says:"you almost died!" and she says in all seriousness "i'm not gonna die"

There's definitely some odd disconnect there - either she wasn't listening to him properly, or she didn't get comments that weren't explicit.

If we didn't know more about her home life I'd assume she was brought up in an EXTREMELY strict religious family? What 22 year old is so protected she makes a 20 minute long video about just talking to some men?

there is something so odd about her family.. like i have said before, they have no stuff? but also the fact she has never spoken to a man?!?!? this implies thye have no family friends?

Her family is defo odd, they all seem so uncomfortable around one another apart from when Holly goes full on labrador mode to get Emily's attention, who seems to be the only person she's ever wanted to be close with. You're so right about the house as well, it's so clinically huge and sterile. I would love to know what their deal is 😳
 
I know she used to go to church. Before she privated her Facebook (when it was mentioned on Guru Gossip) there was a video her mum had tagged her in of her singing at church.... not sure if it was a one off but yeah.
 
Has Emily separated from her boyfriend, he seems to have disappeared from her social media ?
I know some religions are cult like and crazy but i have a lot of friends who go to church and their homes are lovely, very colourful, homely, welcoming and often full of people, entertaining etc.
Take Grackle for example her family are quite heavily involved in a local church, but their family dynamic and home are both balanced.

Oh I have zero objection to religion! She just behaves like she was raised in an extremely strict/domineering way and the optics of the waist length straggly hair, empty house, general cluelessness and being frightened of men/change gives me a bit of a culty shudder

I get she went to an All girls school so minimal contact with males their, surely she had youngish male teachers or TA's though, plus any extra curricular. I'm genuinely amazed it took her 22 years to talk to a person of the opposite sex, most teenagers would of had a part time job with guys, lived with guys in halls, had guy friends on their course and in societies etc. What about the trade men who would come round to your house to do jobs, Matt's friends, her dads friends and surely Emily has had boyfriends in the past. I cannot understand how sheltered Holly is

I went to a small all-girls school so had a pretty sheltered upbringing in that regard but that changed somewhat once I went to uni lol...but I'm baffled as to how she could have had such limited contact with the opposite sex at university even just platonically. Fair enough if she's not into dating but I do find it odd that men are basically a novelty to her at 22 years old.
 
Ive been trying to do a bit of digging into parents actual job and both parents were directors of a company in the Dad's name which had him listed as a plasterer! which seemed bizare given he is a musician. Also its seems their old house sold for £250k in 2005 in SE9, a 3 bed terrace, but they then bought their current one for over double the cost.

This is the Dad http://www.superbrass.co.uk/meet-superbrass/philip-white/ maybe plastering was his bit on the side, to escape his weird wife and kids 😂😂

Not surprised by the plastering bit, I always got the impression that he was the one who was always doing up bits of the house (also in a sweeping generalisation he dresses a bit like a plasterer haha)
 
Holly seems way more interested in her vegan sushi rolls than in talking to Joe in that old video lmao. But honestly, she just seems nervous and stressed out by having to make conversation with the guy. Maybe she just has social anxiety and that's also the reason why she avoided socializing/talking to guys in college? (Idk I might be wrong, but as someone who struggles with social anxiety myself, I know I often don't come off as shy but rather seem kinda aloof and disinterested to others when in reality, I'm panicking. Maybe it's similar for Holly. Or maybe I'm just projecting, who knows.)

In any case it seems safe to assume that Holly herself doesn't know the reason either - I think she's in deep denial about a lot of her issues. It's fine if she doesn't want to be honest on her public youtube channel ofc, but I feel like she's not honest with herself either.
 
I think Holly was really just more interested in her sushi. I also suffer from anxiety and I'm asocial but with no visible issues in interacting with people or striking up conversations and it reminds me of Holly ( though I don't think she's actually asocial or suffers from anxiety, I think she's just introverted) - seems like most people can accept you're asocial only if you display the symptoms of Asperger's, autism, etc. Otherwise, they think you're rude or selfish because you prefer to spend time by yourself.
Then again, if I arrange to meet someone, I will make sure that I interact with them.

Still, Holly is not well-read, she's not interested in politics, relationships, TV or music and she does not seem to be keen on spending time with people who do not share common interests / lifestyles, such as dancing, biology or veganism - I think it would be difficult for anyone in her position to keep conversations with most people going.

it really shocks me she got into oxford with so little to say about herself, shes obv clever and hard working but do they not ask non specifically academic questions at interview? even most work interviews I've been to they ask about reading habits/ hobbies etc.
