I think part of it can be due to family. I said a few pages back I see a lot of myself in her, I’m very insular don’t have any friends and only have my family to fall back on, I always make comments about moving out but my mum always shuts me down, and I think when you’re in that environment being coddled w/o any friends to compare to and show you what you’re missing it’s really hard to get out of. Especially since (and I know this sounds odd) she works at a school, again I wonder if this sort of reinforces the parent-child dynamic between her and her parents because the routine is the same as it would have been when she was young, sort of thing. You know like if you go back to your parents house after a while as an adult and they henpeck you a bit? Like that. And I think this can be reflected in her
crappy food habits because no doubt her parents are still making main meals etc and if she breaks away from that they may well pressure her into eating extra, go on just have a biscuit, or oh no I’m not eating that let’s have a McDonald’s?
Still she does need to get a grip
if I wasn’t moved out by thirty I’d cry, she’s not past it or anything she could have a really fulfilling life and probably would make friends or get a bf or something like that then!
