Ashtin Earle is opening up about the less glamorous side of being in the public eye alongside her famous sister, Alix Earle!
While preparing dinner in Los Angeles, the reality star gave her TikTok followers a look into her life as she promotes the family's new reality program, 'Earle Meets World.' Although Alix, 25, is at ease in front of the cameras and during interviews, Ashtin, 23, said she finds it much harder when the spotlight is on her.

While in Los Angeles for another set of press engagements, she spoke about the difficulties interviews can cause her. She admitted that she and Alix had just completed a full week of press in New York and that she isn't good at it. Ashtin couldn't help but compare herself with her sister and said, 'Alix is so good and articulate and well-spoken in interviews, whereas I am the exact opposite.'
She also said her nerves aren't entirely new: 'I'm pretty sure I've mentioned before how, back in school, I used to get panic attacks when I had to give a presentation,' and added, 'It's exactly the same for me.'
Even taking part in virtual interviews, Ashtin can still feel flustered.
'Even with Zoom interviews, I get really flustered and nervous,' Ashtin revealed. 'But these were all in person.'

During the week in question, the sisters had a very busy schedule as they promoted their show, and Ashtin showed exactly how full it became. She explained that they used to wake up around 5:30 every day and stay up until 6 PM. Fortunately, Ashtin didn't have to go through the experience alone because Alix was there. Yet it didn't entirely ease her nerves about having her sister with her.
'Thankfully Alix and I did everything together, so I didn't have to do anything alone,' the social media personality said. 'But I just, I don't know, I get so nervous and like awkward for that kind of stuff. And I forget how to speak like a real person. So if anything comes out and you see me like being stupid, just ignore it.'

It isn't just the press tour that's making Ashtin feel nervous. Now that 'Earle Meets World' has been released, she has admitted she has never particularly enjoyed watching herself on camera. The model said she kept posting that she didn't want the show to come out, though she made it clear her concern doesn't come from thinking she did something embarrassing.
'Not because I did anything wrong,' she said. 'I just don't like seeing myself on camera like that. Like, it's not like I'm doing anything bad, it's just like I like cringe at myself.'
That sensation goes beyond the reality show as well.
'Even with videos like this, I cannot watch them back after I have edited them,' Ashtin admitted.

While there was excitement about the show, Ashtin also admitted her career hasn't always felt certain.
'I'm always in some sort of like existential crisis because especially with like what I do with like social media and everything, work kind of like ebbs and flows,' she explained. 'So it's like some days I have like so much work and I'm doing all this stuff, and then other days it's like I'm doing nothing, and then I'm like, what am I doing with my life?'
Despite all that, Ashtin said she's currently in a 'really happy place' in her life.
She's Excited For What's Next
In the video, Ashtin also stated that the start of summer was especially difficult, but fortunately, it didn't last long.
'This summer, the beginning was really slow, and I feel like I was kind of in a weird place, but now, things are picking up and I'm doing a lot of exciting things,' she said. 'And some I've already done and worked on, and some I'm going to be doing soon. And I am just excited for like my life right now and what's to come, even though I'm scared of this show coming out. It's just, okay, it's a scary thought to be in a reality show. Like, when we were doing it, I was like, oh, you know, like, whatever, we're just doing this.'
For Ashtin, having Alix with her has made it much easier to cope with the chaos of fame, even though she still, from time to time, finds herself wondering what she's going to say when the cameras start rolling.
