OH FOR GOD SAKE!!!!!!She's acting as though she spent an idyllic childhood in Cyprus before she was dramatically exiled to Southend. Double mention of lemons fresh from the tree too, interesting for someone so invested in not actually ever cooking with them.
didn't TayTay record 'We are never ever getting back together'. One for Louisa's playlist.JM acting as if she's such a massive fan of Taylor Swift - seems odd she's only just recently started following her, on both Twitter and Instagram. You can tell as TS is almost at the very top of her 'following' list.
“After I’ve been to the shop?”
I usually lurk, and like things on here at the moment, but just dipping in again to say that @MooBelle I relate to this so much. Your words actually made me realise that I have a very similar reaction to jokes/banter. I am very literal, and find banter within a larger social dynamic (work, or a group of friends) really difficult to navigate and understand. But as you said, when you spend a large proportion of your life (and all of those fundamental years) hearing bad, and even terrible things about yourself as well as watching and pre-selecting every word or action you do, it's really fucking hard to undo that. I just don't think I'd ever really correlated this aspect of my personality/behaviour to my relationship with my mother.thanks @spirals and a cyber hug thrown your way x
Agree with this 100% i always see snarkiness and sarcasm in almost every kind of written message. Text/email/posts. It's because everything ever said/done by my NM was meant to be cruel so it's taken the past 20 years to unlearn. Most daughters of NM are hardwired like this (and it is overwhelmingly Mothers to daughters, although other Narc parent/child relationships occur) It is why i don't understand practical jokes or a lot of banter. It doesn't compute that these things are meant to be good natured or funny. I spent over half of my life only hearing bad things about myself.
I'm lucky in that friends and colleagues are aware and are quite kind. I have no contact with pretty much my entire birth family, which is common in survivors of Narc abuse. Also common is the skill of picking up on Narc traits in people. Its a survival skill due to my ptsd.
Thread title right thereJackanory, Melissa's a Tory.
I totally agree. I have OCD - not the David Beckham ‘I like the fridge to be tidy’ version, but (*risk of sounding like Jack alert*) fully blown, life-ruining compulsive behaviour that was completely out of control in my teens and early 20s. I’m ok now as I’ve had CBD which is the NUTS for OCD (highly recommend if any fellow fraus also suffer with this). I was talking to my therapist the other day and mentioned the cause of an eating issue I was having as being down to ‘my OCD brain’. She stopped me immediately and asked me to take out the OCD brain idea from my thinking - that maybe my behaviour was indeed down to having OCD, maybe it wasn’t - that for our purposes it wasn’t relevant for exploring the problem and what I was going to do to sort it out. She wasn't dismissing the OCD factor, but one thing I love about her is that she totally discourages me trying to give myself any labels - whether that’s OCD or criticisms about myself - and has always encouraged me to think about myself as a person, not a condition. I’ve found it surprisingly healthy and freeing as it makes me feel I can change and improve.Why is she still blaming literally anything on being (undiagnosed) autistic or ADHD?

“I spilled a drink because I’m autistic”
“I made horse spunk because I’ve got ADHD”
“I have 90 billion emails because of ADHD”
“I’m fangirling Taylor Swiftbecause my ex will hopefully read this and come running back when I say the lyrics are just like usbecause I’m autistic”
It’s absolutely vile to people who genuinely suffer from these things.

Just why?!
This just makes me feel sick. Why not just urge people to donate to food banks and charities direct? I just couldn't do it.Then the icing on the cakeView attachment 191844View attachment 191845This is just

That is nothing but pure piss taking. Even at the most basic $4x190, you're looking at $760 per month, which is about £594. Poor my fucking bollocks. Lying, horrible bitchThen the icing on the cakeView attachment 191844View attachment 191845This is just

I get that she's having a bad time of it, really do. Everything has kind of happened all at once for her lately, the DKL stuff etc, discovering the cabal, the breakup. It's shitty, course it is. Nobody wants her to suffer or come to any harm at all. You open yourself up to critics when you display yourself on social media to thousands, claim endless ailments and tell tales constantly, it's to be expected. The part that sticks in her craw is that Tattle keeps receipts. Her stories are littered with inconsistencies and exaggerations to say the least. She wants to carry on oversharing and faux-advocating for the underdogs, pulling the wool over people's eyes and selling books, starting Twitter pile ons in the name of calling out injustices.Is she saying....what I think she’s saying??
