Is Big Ed Finally Happy With Himself?

His Insecurities Make Him Act Out

Now that he’s single, it may be easier for him to feel emotionally stable. When he isn’t in a relationship, questioning his partner and trying to mold her into the perfect woman, as he did with90 Day Fiancé’s Liz Woods, he has space to think. He can work on himself. This is when Big Ed blooms, but maybe he gets a little bit overconfident. In the Instagram post shown above,Big Edsaid that someone called him:

pretty.

He was joking… wasn’t he? This mixed bag of comedy and tragedy is a man who stays relevant due to behavior that’s often appalling, but then again, there’sBig Ed’s disability - Klippel-Feil syndrome. Big Ed’s life isn’t easy thanks to a short neck caused by fused vertebrae. However, he makes the best of it.

Big Ed toggles between amusing and offending the90 Day Fiancéfanbase. However, in romantic relationships, his insecurity often seeps out, poisoning the atmosphere. He doesn’t believe in his partners because he doesn’t believe in himself. He does need to build his self-esteem, but not by cutting other people down.

Big Ed dates much younger women but has trouble trusting them.

When Big Ed gets compliments, he becomes more sure of himself, but there’s a danger in that too. Caring too much about what other people think can be such a mistake. A person needs to find their center - a foundation of self-confidence that others can’t take away.Big Ed is skinnierand his ego’s surging, but he’s still hanging on the words of followers. He’s still too dependent on their feedback.

Like Fozzie the Bear, Big Ed tells sketchy jokes. He plays to the peanut gallery. He is always “on.” Who is he when he takes off the mask? Does his ego shrink into nothingness? Does he feel sad and heartbroken? Maybe. Big Ed is using his new confidence as a shield. Possibly, his new ego persona is the only way he can get through his breakup. He spent years with Liz and she has a new man.

So, while he looks great and is obviously slimmer, he may not be happy inside. He’s putting on a show like always.

For Big Ed, the show must go on. He will brazen it out no matter what’s happening in his life. He is used to being mocked. He’s heard it all before.He knows that letting people point their fingers and laugh is the key to getting what he wants.So, he puts up with it.

He May Be Gearing Up For Another Reality Stint

90 Day Fiancé’s Big Ed has done a cost-benefit analysis, and the benefits of fame, even as a man who’s often cruelly denigrated at any weight, greatly outweigh the alternative, which is not having fame. Hopefully, he really is as happy as he seems to be right now. The truth is that he might not be happy at all. His ego may be a ruse - a carnival trick that masks so much heartbreak and misery.
