I just think she’s incredibly mentally stunted and never got past the whole school and bullies thing. The way she talks, her vocabulary is so limited, and she has such bizarre fantasies that mirror that of pre teen girls, wanting to move away five times a year/have a baby despite barely being able to take care of herself/have this friend group that must all stay together and do everything together just like Friends and every other teenage movie.
School can be a nightmare and I get that, it was for me too, I didn’t feel like I had much to live for until I was around 21 and I kept making stupid mistakes with drinking/promiscuity etc and I also realised I needed serious help.
Her problem is she never sits down and thinks ‘right, why have all of these people disappeared from my life?’ and maybe realises she is the problem. It’s okay to do that, it’s what helps you grow, every single person makes mistakes but Gabby thinks she’s immune to that and being wrapped in cotton wool by her mum doesn’t help either.
Her illnesses are 100% a cry for attention and she has the money and resources to actually get help unlike so many other people in the UK, which is what frustrates me. I thought I had a severe stomach issue during my GCSES and it turned out to be anxiety and completely psychological because I was so worried I wouldn’t pass. She has nothing to do except sit and dwell on her symptoms so she feels these aches and pains everywhere, followed by yet again, her mum saying ‘oooh you’re a bit poorly Gabby, let’s write the day off and I’ll bake some buns’ etc.
Life really is not a movie. We all have jobs, partners, commitments, it doesn’t mean I love my friends any less for example. I do have a main friendship group but I also have friends from work, events over the years, people I’ve met through friends of friends, would they ALL hang out together? No, not unless I was getting married or something, because life doesn’t work that way.
I strongly believe everything is being ‘fewled’ by her mum, as well as justifying everything bad in her life as being toxic and everyone who asks a question or slightly disagrees as a bully. Even the kindest, most patient person will find that draining but it’s like she doesn’t even want help at this point, she’s so set in her ways and will hit 30 having these moments between ‘I just bought a new iMac, my life is sew great,
duck all of the nasty haters and bullies’ and ‘I am going to sit in bed with bolognese all day’. She’s a grown woman, the money she drops on stupid
tit she doesn’t need could pay for any kind of therapy she would like.
Sorry for the rant, I’m on the very long boring journey to work and felt this had to be said
