Lydia Arleen is a participant on Love Is Blind season 5, and her Instagram account tells the story that she is self-absorbed. Lydia has been mired in controversy this season for having dated another cast member, Uche Okoroha, in the past. The pair kept their previous relations a secret from their partners in the pods until they had no choice but to spill. Strangely, Lydia had formed a deep connection to Uche’s top choice, Aaliyah Cosby, telling her they were the “same person.” Once the cat was out of the bag, Lydia told Aaliyah all about her relationship with Uche, unsolicited.
Aaliyah felt weirded out enough by the situation to leave Uche without explanation. During the latest episode of Love Is Blind season 5, Uche and Lydia got into a heated argument after Uche exposed Lydia’s clinger tendencies and odd behavior while they were together. The premise of Love Is Blind is for men and women seeking love and marriage to talk to each other in the “pods” through a wall and get to the core of who each other is. Once strong enough connections have formed, they will get engaged sight unseen. They will see each other before taking a vacation and settling into a neutral apartment before their wedding.
Lydia’s Instagram Is All About Her (No One Else)
Lydia’s Instagram account is all about her. There is not a single picture of her and anyone else. Her entire page gives off the impression that she is self-absorbed. Lydia’s habit of only featuring carefully chosen pictures of herself seems like it’s a ploy to draw attention. Moreover, with captions like “Blessing your feed,” Lydia isn’t doing herself any favors in changing her self-absorbed narrative.
Lydia Uses Inspirational Quotes On Instagram
Another frequent move that Lydia makes on her Instagram posts is adding inspirational quotes or quotes centered around self-empowerment. Whether she uses the quotes to try and make a point or she is sharing them in an effort to make her seem more woke, they don’t always land right. Lydia’s usage of quotes like “Yeah, I can love me better than you can” gives the impression that she is trying too hard to either be relatable or present a strong front.
In any case, Lydia’s on-screen behavior is speaking just as loud as her social media habits. With seven out of the ten episodes already out for Love Is Blind season 5, viewers have only a few episodes left to continue forming their opinions on Lydia and her relationship with Milton Johnson. Since there are only two couples (the least in Love Is Blind history) making it down the aisle, there will be a heavy focus on Lydia and Milton and Izzy Zapata and Stacy Snyder.
Love Is Blind season 5 streams Fridays on Netflix.
