i've loved him for a while, but he will forever be the only artist who i like more for themselves rather than just their music. it breaks my heart to watch interviews where people dig for his beliefs for relationship status. you're completely right - he sets boundaries respectfully (as he should) and it really inspires me to do the same when family or strangers ask such personal questions too. <3
something about him makes me feel like a blushy regency-era young lady who deliberately arranges to be "coincidentally" tending the gardens by the road when he drives past... i don't even know how to explain it in normal-people terms
I mean, is it really that hard to believe that celebrities want privacy?? There are some celebrities that don’t want to share their personal life and that’s completely okay, it’s not something they want public and they’re entitled to privacy just like any other human being. It’s just so rude that other people feel like they need to know everything about a celebrity’s life. Is it so hard to believe that Hozier is probably doing something completely normal right now? It’s good that he’s setting boundaries and interviewers need to respect that.
It's great that he knows how to do this, more people (me included) need to learn how to do it but don't bash the interviewers, digging for information is literally their job (ofc I understand there are those that get nasty real fast)
Isn’t it crazy that people like this genuinely exist? Hozier is a real person somewhere on Earth right now, doing something; he’s (presumably) human. I find that crazy. He has this “too good to be true” quality to him… I’m seeing another artist that I believe falls into that category as well-Aurora-in September, and I can’t wait to see her irl and hear her voice directly from her, while I will still not be entirely convinced that she is actually real.
Sometimes it really helps to see good examples of people setting boundaries in a polite, firm, healthy way. It's good to learn from the people you don't want to be like, but that usually only gives me a very fragmented picture of what to do instead. Good examples are really important :)
I am completely enamored with Hozier. At 46 I get all giddy like a school girl with a crush. I would probably become a speechless idiot if I saw him in person. All this said..he exudes kindness, simplicity and realness..with approachability. His smile just melts my composure..LADIES..don't look in those eyes!!!
That’s amazing how casually he states his boundaries. I get super nervous that people will get offended but he does it in a way that is so confident and matter of fact it doesn’t seem to take anyone by surprise
