Glass Child

The internet slang term “Glass Child” refers to a person who appears tough or strong on the outside but is actually very sensitive, fragile, or vulnerable on the inside. It describes someone who may portray themselves as confident and independent, but in reality, they are easily hurt or affected emotionally.

Examples:

1. In a conversation:

Person A: “Wow, she always seems so fearless and strong, I envy her.”
Person B: “Actually, she’s a real glass child. She puts up a brave front, but criticism really gets to her.”

2. On social media:

Post: “Feeling my own vibe, standing tall and unbreakable. #StrongAndFearless”
Comment: “Remember, we all have our vulnerabilities. Don’t be so hard on yourself, even glass children have moments of fragility. ❤️”
