While the star oozed confidence in her birthday post, Winter recently opened up to reporters at the Television Critics Association winter press tour about growing up in the spotlight.

"It's stressful. Millions of people then think they can comment on your life and it's a lot," Winter added.

“Yeah, I mean, I started acting when I was 4 years old. So I've been … [receiving] criticism, judgment, rejection – since you're a little kid, so it kind of gives you a thicker skin to begin with,” she explained to Fox. “I feel like when I got on social media, people … not that people were just starting to bully, but it was like, at a certain time 11 years ago, people were like, 'Oh, we'll just say what we want.'”

But then, as I got older, I developed a thicker skin and I said to myself, ‘You know, it's going to bother me because it never goes away, but you're still human.’ But at the same time, you just gotta remember that these people online – what they're saying – it's not your opinion of yourself.”
