I’ve just had a thought <insert hilarious comment or gif of your choice>
She never seems to understand hubris; she makes these statements or proclamations about how she’s now doing this or that, she feels amazing, best ever etc and she does it again and again. It lasts approx 5 minutes and then it starts over. If I were going vegan or doing cold therapy or whatever, I’d do it a while before saying something like that. And she goes on to champion something that is in conflict with an earlier thing.
With Jack, I’ve just thought, because she is NPD when she finds some new BS, she’s not declaring this thing to say this is “her” going forwards- she’s using it to cover up the past. She’s “now” great because of snow therapy bollocks, before she was not great. They key take away she is pushing is that she is NOW great.
That’s why she gets so bleeping snippy when someone says “what about your arthritis that is apparently caused and made worse by cold and damp” she was not good before, she’s good now and a squiggle is failing to praise her greatness at bringing to their attention how great “snow therapy” is. It’s so good that she is promoting it, it’s basically as good as something she herself might have invented. It’s so her.
Jack is great, jack thinks “latest thing” is great. It is a natural fit that she, a great person, should discover a thing of greatness. She feels good. She shows off about feeling good. Some fool tries to burst that bubble FFS. Why don’t they understand that she is great, and the thing is great? They both great. They’re basically the same thing.
That was THEN and this is NOW anger ensues.
