Have you ever felt sad during life moments where you thought you’d feel the exact opposite? We dive into “perfect moment syndrome” and why so many of us cry on our birthdays.

Plus, the person behind one of the world's biggest celebrity gossip sites, DeuxMoi, has revealed they are living in fear of being unmasked, which feels a little… ironic?

And, is it narcissistic to post a photo of yourself? A conversation about why some of us feel weird about posting selfies now.
