The video quickly went viral, racking up 1.6 million views and over 66,000 views, as reported on What’s The Jam.
Sporting smudged makeup and a red nose, the content creator said: “You know, people can make all kinds of comments about me, but when they say: ‘You’ll soon be 30′ I don’t want to be 30.
“I don’t know how I’ll look, but I don’t want to. This really hurts me.”
Carla, from Guayaquil, Ecuador, claimed she could handle any comment about her appearance.
But she said she finds remarks about her age extremely painful.

Wiping away tears, the influencer went on: “It doesn’t hurt me when they say I’m fat, ugly, or that I have an ugly nose.
“I don’t care about that.
“What hurts me is when they say I look like a lady.”

And social media users didn’t hold back in the comments.
Jessica wrote: “Cheer up, old dear, don’t get upset or it will affect your blood pressure.”
Juanjo quipped: “You’ll soon be 50.”
And Blanchett asked: “Is she serious? Or is she joking? It’s hard to tell anymore.”
Other people, however, took a more forgiving tone.
Milena wrote: “30? I swore you were 19, baby.”
Hipatia said: “I identify with you. When I was young, I went through the same thing, I also used to cry.
“Now I’m 68 years old and have been a cancer patient for three years. Ask God for health, that’s what matters.
“You are beautiful.”
