The author emphasized that avoiding online scrutiny has allowed her to remain focused and freely pursue her work. “Since 2005, I have never read or searched about myself, and I never will, because it is important to protect yourself from the terrible part of the internet,” Chimamanda said. She further explained that constant attention to online commentary can be mentally destructive and prevent one from becoming the person they are meant to be.

Chimamanda described her approach as a “wonderful ignorance” that shields her from online toxicity, enabling her to create without distraction. She concluded that the practice of avoiding online searches about oneself is essential for mental health and personal growth.
