    While he’s rich and that relieves him of some day to day challenges that didn’t make him absolved from all struggles, alcoholism and the parasocial relationships we put into celebrities is a real problem when your that big. He doesn’t deserve hate for suffering.

      You're an foolish to think any of this tripe or what he says matters. Nobody watches any of this anymore. MSM networks are d*ad and a joke. His jacket makes him more of a joke. He's achieved nothing or experienced nothing "glorious"... He's PãTHETIC 🤣

      I don’t want to feel sorry for him or pity him. He has done so well and getting sober is something that should be celebrated! Money doesn’t come into it if your an alcoholic your the same as any other alcoholic maybe worse because your not restricted to how much you can indulge and I think alcohol wasn’t his only crutch . Anyone who has been on a similar journey will know stopping drinking is the easiest part dealing with everything that comes after and not running to hide behind the comfort of its mask is the hard part admitting you’ve done some shady things and making amends for them is hard . The rest of your life is a struggle. Yes it will feel so much better but there are times when the slightest thing can make you want to run for cover. Everyone who knows that feeling should always be able to say “ I’m having a really hard day!” And people should understand it’s not any easier because your living in a nice house and are surrounded in nice things . We need to learn to accept people and stop pretending we are any different…. I think 😂❤

      He's very narcissistic. He literally shoots the series from his bed in briefs and comes off as very petty , ungrateful, and self absorbed. No one makes these people of limited talent as big as their public does. Celebrities aging poorly instead of finding meaningful life's aren't victims.

      The press used to hating on Gary Barlow... and Robbie helped to spread that hate against Gary (who were the voice in the group). Gary is nice: he took a lot of the blame that he didn't need to take because it wasn't his fault if Robbie envied him, he forgave Robbie several times when he screwed things up, even when Robbie came to the group again and left the group in the middle of a tour!

    After watching Robbie Williams over the years and his recent Netflix documentary, i can see so much similarities between Robbie and Eminem. Fame literally turned both of their lives inside out. They both say similar things about the experiences of fame and they both have that shell shocked type of look. I guess being world famous can really affect a persons mental health. But on the flip side, there are people who fall into deep depression when their days of fame come to an end.

      @@thethe6232 Thanks for the breakdown and your explanation, but you clearly state in your post that I responded to “Things dont make you mentally ill”. I gave examples of things that might. A person can have a robust strong mind, with no family history or self history of mental illness and a catastrophic life event can cause them to become mentally unwell. You also stated “The presence of mental illness is already there inherently”. I pointed out that this is wrong. What I mean by that is that someone who does not have a predisposition of mental illness can still develop mental illness. It is also true that someone who has a family history of a mental disorder may also have some of the genes associated with it. But they do not necessarily develop a mental illness themselves. From what I read of your post you essentially claim that things can not make you mentally ill, suggesting that if some becomes that way, that it was already there. This is only partially correct. I do have a fair amount of first hand knowledge of the subject having had the pleasure of working 14 years in mental health. Some years in elderly, some in adult and mostly/currently in child and adolescent. Challenging but very rewarding.
