and for the longest time I thought it was just me thinking this... tattlers DO NOT disappoint and thank the maker that I found you when I did.
the only reason I posted my initial frustration (however many pages ago) was to point out how caring they appear to be. remember that they're looking out for you... they'll be there for you (then followed by that insidious hashtag catchphrase about doing things to make you happy).
the reality is that (in my case at least), my efforts and hard work were all claimed by them... no credit or thanks. all the ideas I worked on for the project we started were stolen - and I find out all of this, including the fact that I apparently wasn't on the team anymore, via a tweet where they announced it to everyone else.
RED FLAG: anyone that says 'raises money for charity' either probably doesn't, has got severe narcissism, or both - nothing in their realm is legit and what they say they do should absolutely NEVER be taken as gospel.
For me, it's brilliant hate watching - particularly the way he says things in a show off way... *shudder* ... or when he gets things wrong.
And now I'm not so salty about what happened, i love seeing the attempts to fool everyone of their followers. that said, I'm amazed consistently fool those followers.
I think quite a lot see through it. It’s nothing personal to them, I just go in what I see. I follow a lot of vloggers/Instagram folk and don’t have the same issues with many.
My main summary..
- Del feels the need to have his ego massaged and get praise for things, as well as also getting sympathy for playing on things that can make you “vulnerable” like PTSD. I know many people with PTSD and other issues Del plays up to, and they don’t often go out their way for it. With Del, if I met him I imagine he would bring it up in the first few sentences. This isn’t discrediting him saying he’s fine, but he wears it like a badge of honour.
- they want the high life top vloggers have without putting the effort in, but have a deluded sense of grandeur of their standing in life.
- constantly beg for things in veiled ways
- sympathy card is played often. I’m taking nothing away from Del losing his mum, that’s terrible, but to record a video of yourself crying about things? Keep it personal and private. But it’s done to enforce he’s a soft guy who cannot be criticised. The same for Jens health scare. They knew it wasn’t cancer at a certain point, but still spoke about it like it was some cryptic terminal type illness. Again, keep it private
- I find it weird they appear to only surround themselves with other online people. Where are the childhood friends or work colleagues? I get the impression del in particular dosent have many friends in the real sense.
Still waiting for that cinema he’s hiring out for people with PTSD, but I think like many things we can put that in the category of “great on paper for support and traction but won’t act on”
