I think that she believes the majority of people who she has on Twitter view probably 50% of her tweets, and some will be contradictory and those people probably think about it for a second and then do their next task at home or work. Because of this, the majority of her viewers are casual, meaning they donāt really interact but will only take serious note when the ācampaigningā starts - so in her mind for years sheās got away with lies as nobody has ever recorded everything and every contradiction. There was no Tattle until two years ago, and people did and still do think of her as a good person who wants to help the poor.
Why she is struggling now is because a spotlight has been shone on her, and everything is being recorded. She sees this in her narc eye as some sort of coordinated attack because if she did it for years before, why canāt she do it now? She hates Tattle because everyone here puts a mirror infront of her and she canāt help but look. And now Jack is stuck in this obsessive phase, but definitely does not have a way out of it.
Do I think sheāll be cancelled? Nope. If she can survive the Ivan Cameron comments then she will be fine, but I think the fact there are a lot more dissenters is annoying her. To a narc like Jack who absolutely relies on praise for her ego and to make herself feel validated, someone not liking her is the biggest, worst thing to ever happen to her. And thatās why we see her arguing as sheās desperate to be seen as the good guy in it all. Her problem is that her personality shines through on her tweets without her even realising, and I sit in disciplinaries with people who have the worst attitude problems - but they are all great compared to Jack. She has HUGE abandonment issues, she requires validation from parental figures and partners need to be parents to her because she wants to be fragile and looked after - because for whatever reason she feels it didnāt happen in childhood.
Iāve met people like Jack before, gay women. They donāt date like a normal adult, they go through this will they wont they dance where they act not interested, youāre treated a bit tit for a while. You become a bit blasĆ© and nearly knock it on the head, and then you get this āI was too scared to tell you how I really feltā. They fall hard and quickly and for someone so aloof at the start they become entirely dependent on you. Then when you break up, the emotional blackmail comes back. Itās not love, itās obsession, wanting to steal every part of your personality and when you leave they need someone else to obsess and steal personalities from. Thats when they leave you alone.
I remember an episode of Waking the Dead when Peter Boyd and Grace met this prisoner and the phrase rings true with Jack now āSheās like a child. If thereās a silence she just had to fill it, she canāt help herselfā and the other āSheād take you out and show you a good time, but youāll be paying for itā - and Grace then said it was a true sociopath who behaved in this way.
The latest bedroom stuff is all a last ditch narc attempt to keep J in her life, the way she treats him itās almost an emotional form of munchausens bi-proxy rather than actual medical illness. I feel so sorry for the boy. The way she infantilises him really scares me and Iām not even a parent!
