She said: “I think that I usually just post when I have my hair and my makeup done because people have been so critical over my appearance lately and I don’t want to give them any more ammo to call me all of these things.
“I think that’s a part of it, security as well. And I just want to stay present in the moment.
“A lot of these events are with other people and I want to be engaging and not on my phone the entire time.
“And also I think people make it their personality to be like ‘I’m always busy’ so I don’t want to come off like that or like I’m trying to brag.

“So all of these reasons are why I have this hesitation to post and share more but I need to get over that.”
Paige said in September she had been fat shamed by a number of trolls online after throwing a pitch at a baseball game.
The 29-year-old has an Instagram following of 3.7million followers, while her Twitter page also boasts nearly 707,000 followers.
And her large social media presence has seen her beat out golf icons such as Tiger Woods and Rory McIlory to be crowned the most followed golfer on Instagram.

Paige also revealed how she has been forced to stop highlighting the trolling she received due to some of the comments being so disgusting.
She added: “So every Thursday I started posting inappropriate or funny DM’s that I was getting and the response was horror.
“People were deeply offended, shocked and disgusted by these messages.
“And so I stopped doing it because people were getting offended and upset about it.
“And it just proved to me that I’m so desensitized that I would laugh (but) people were like ‘god that’s terrible, how could they say that to someone else’ and I didn’t even think about it so that’s why I also stopped.”
