I watched her counselling video this morning as i didn't watch it last night and even though she obviously has a lot to learn about herself, I enjoyed the video. As someone who has been through both counselling and therapy, I think she would greatly benefit from therapy. A lot of people don’t realise the differences between counselling and therapy.
Would you mind explaining the difference? I've wondered this too.
 
I’d be a bit sad if they did split tbh, they make a nice match and he softens her a bit.
I don’t think they make a nice match at all! She’s so patronising, condescending and shows little interest in him or what he has to say - and that’s going by their videos together. I think she’s very insecure and jumps from one relationship to the next without taking time to work on herself. That’s the only way she will ever be truly happy 🤷‍♀️

I take all of this on board 😂She is rude and patronising but I reckon she’d be like this whoever she was with. At least Ollie gives a bit of pushback and holds his own.
Maybe I’d just be sad if Ollie wasn’t in their videos?

Therapy is considered more long term (I had counselling to take me through a period of grief and helped me to recognise how I was dealing with it, my therapy for OCD had a considerable more amount of ‘homework’ and I’ll be using techniques I’ve learned for the rest of my life). Therapy also goes a lot deeper than counselling. Therapy looks at the root of the problem while counselling usually focuses more on the present, including more present issues.
In counselling I knew exactly what I needed to talk about whereas in therapy though I had an issue I needed sorting out, we discussed different issues and behaviour’s that I didn’t even realise were a problem. In general counselling is a lot lighter than therapy. Counselling wouldn’t have scratched the surface of my OCD problem while Therapy would have gone a lot deeper in to my family and grieving issues.
Also counselling was gentler. If I didn’t want to talk about something in counselling, I would be gently steered back round to the conversation if I went off on a tangent. My therapist however wouldn’t let me go off tangent. She would get me to answer the question with no comparisons to see if i understood my behaviours and emotions. It was difficult but it worked, and I’ve only got a few sessions left.
It’s very obvious that Carrie hasn’t gone very deep in addressing her issues which is why she regularly goes off on social media. Tbh I also think Colleen Ballinger needs a therapist who specialises in her particular issue because it’s very similar to mine. I can’t watch Colleen anymore because the way she talks is quite triggering for me.
‘The main difference between a counsellor and psychotherapist is in the academic training. In theory, counsellors work shorter term with life issues, such as bereavement and relationships, while a psychotherapist works over a longer period of time with more complicated or enduring mental health issues.’ From The Guardian.

Regarding the DM situation, I don’t think it’s an issue to DM/reply to a public figure is bad, if your genuine intent is to open up a dialogue about something. Saying ‘I don’t like what you posted so I’m unfollowing’ isn’t inviting a dialogue though. Was she supposed to beg you to stay, or vow not to post her opinions on things anymore?

I do think Carrie would benefit from just not replying at all and moving on, but people really can’t complain when someone replies to you in a way you don’t like when you’ve essentially said ‘your opinions are no longer worth my time’, because whether intended to be rude or not, it’s not really a necessary thing to say at all. Especially when it’s a political view that’s very open to varying opinions and sides, rather than calling out a problematic behavior

Exactly what I was gonna say. Well put!

Lots of "new members" seem to be very pro Carrie!
i think many “new” members here used to be regulars at the other forum? I was one and I recognize many names. I’ve been using tattle for 2 years but only starting to post in Carrie’s thread recently after the old forum became practically unusable.

Can’t talk for others but I don’t wish her failure. I used to be a fan after all. But when she grates on my nerves (which happens quite often) I’d certainly say so. 🤣

I think many people are just balanced in their criticism of Carrie and generally wish her well, but criticise the things she does that warrants criticism - but in a fair way. I think that's a good thing. I don't think anyone is "pro Carrie" or "against Carrie" by default. I don't criticise her just for the sake of it, I criticise when there's a reason to. I hope that's most people's take on it.

This is true. While some polite disagreements and responses should be expected when posting your opinions online, I think Carrie should either respond graciously or ignore the rude ones. If a fan/follower says “I disagree and I’m unfollowing” it does seem a bit pointless and aimed to hurt. One could just unfollow and not tell her. Respect goes both ways. Even so, I think she’d be better off to just ignore rude comments, but she almost seems to be addicted to either arguing with or blocking people.

Quite agree with these comments.

I may be a former fan but would never wish badly on her. She's a human being and deserves to be happy.

I still watch her older content.

I just call her out when she does something that warrants critism.

If you mean me, I'm not. I just don't consider her ugly or fat and I have certain opinions about blocking. I'm block by her both on twitter and insta 😂😂 and I utterly utterly dislike her personality. I'm not new in talking about her in such places, just didn't know this place existed.

Also, I don't wish her ill. I want her to be happy, as much as I want everyone to be happy. What bothers me is her personality and mostly that she had everything on plater and that she didn't have to work hard for anything. She is privileged, she doesn't see it as much as she says she does and she just doesn't to advance herself. She is mediocre limbo.

The issue with Instagram stories is that the only way to reply is by essentially a DM, correct? To me that is a bit of a grey area if you want to respond and that is the only option. Also, is there a way to turn off that feature? If you really want to post a story that no one can respond to? I’ve responded to stories in that way to ask general questions like where they bought an item they were displaying or sometimes even to answer a question they asked, so of course expecting replies in that case.

Instagram stories feels like a different beast than going out of your way to DM when you could have commented publicly. Sometimes dealing with a disagreement in a private message may even have the benefit of letting you both save face if it’s a particularly sensitive subject that could upset other “onlookers”. Everyone’s comfort zones are different, but it’s just common sense if she’s going to dangle a bone in front of her audience and they go to take a bite only to have her swat their nose, she’s not creating a very “love and kindness, imagine people complexly” environment. Which is still up to her, if that’s what she wants her vibe to be now.
Yes instagram stories can have the reply function turned off, plenty of celebs have the function removed.

It's so much simpler to do that. But obviously she wants replies...just the kind she likes.

As has been mentioned, blocking is such a severe and final option. Its basically a virtual 'talk to the hand' and I'm having the final word and shutting you done. Its engaging in a controlling way instead of just not engaging at all

Can’t be the only one who thinks her newly decorated toilet looks like a public loo and a bit of a dark and dank one at that!

Yeah it's giving me a bit old pub loo vibes. I would never have picked that colour paint with those tiles. To each their own...
