“I Find it Weird’- Mungai Eve Explains Her “Shyness” On Instagram Despite Stardom

Celebrated digital creator Mungai Eve has finally addressed her noticeable absence from talking directly to fans on Instagram Stories, admitting that spontaneous interactions on the platform feel “awkward” compared to her traditional content style. In a candid update shared on Friday, January 9, 2026, the influencer revealed that despite her massive online presence, she finds the informal nature of real-time social media engagement significantly more challenging than long-form broadcasting.

For Eve, the hesitation is a byproduct of her professional background. Having spent the last five years building a career on YouTube, she has grown accustomed to a controlled process of recording, reviewing, and meticulously editing videos before they reach the public.

“Honestly, I am so poor at random conversations on IG stories,” she admitted to her followers.

“It’s because in my five years of creating, I’ve been used to posting recorded content—well edited—not just talking kwa stories.”

She contrasted her Instagram shyness with her natural comfort on YouTube, where she feels at home “yapping” for her audience, a habit she promised to return to very soon.

In an effort to bridge this gap and connect more authentically with her followers, Eve revealed that she is actively practicing her “live” communication skills. She recently purchased a tripod specifically to record herself talking for social media, though she confessed that the process still feels unusual.

“I even got a tripod… I find it weird,” she noted, explaining that adjusting to a spontaneous lifestyle conversation feels foreign after half a decade of polished production.

Despite the personal discomfort, Mungai Eve expressed a firm commitment to adapting her style in 2026. She told her fans that she is willing to push through the “weirdness” to show a more personal, unedited side of her life. As she experiments with talking directly to her audience on Instagram, fans can look forward to a blend of her signature professional vlogs and more frequent, spontaneous updates that offer a closer look at the woman behind the camera.
