Singer Ayra Starr Speaks Out on Her High Dating Standards and Avoiding Overthinking
Ayra Starr, the talented Afrobeats star, has opened up about her dating life and personal philosophy on handling criticism. In a recent interview, she shared her thoughts on her high standards, which she believes are difficult for any man to meet, and her advice on ignoring the opinions of others.
The 22-year-old singer reflected on her decision to delay dating until she gained fame. “I’m grateful I didn’t start dating before my music career took off,” she said. “I didn’t really know what I was missing, so now that I’ve waited this long, I have very high standards. If it’s going to be hard to meet, it’s goodbye! But I also don’t have time for myself, let alone a man.”
Starr spoke candidly about her approach to handling criticism, saying that she remains unfazed by negative feedback. In another interview, she shared her perspective on ignoring the opinions of others, stating that people are too preoccupied with their own struggles to bother with their opinions.
“People are living their lives, and everyone is busy. People are hungry and tired. Stop caring about what people think about you,” she advised. “They’re too worried about making ends meet, being homeless, and finishing their day. Just focus on yourself.”
Starr emphasized the importance of self-acceptance and resilience, encouraging her fans to “do you” and find confidence in themselves. “Sometimes, you’re overthinking, ‘what does this person think about me?’ Then, they’re just worried about making it home,” she said. “Don’t waste your time thinking about what people think about you. Do you, be confident in yourself, and don’t be afraid to fail. Fail as many times as you want to, and when you get it right, you’ll be so proud of yourself.”
