I don't think Niomi was trying to be insensitive when she discussed her current living situation.
She wasn’t
trying to be intensive, she just naturally
is insensitive. It's clear that's just who she is at this point. Her behavior over the past 7 months has shown just how ignorant, self-centered, and out-of-touch with really she is. This video, along with the rest of her content as of late, is just another illustration of it. I don't recall her ever acknowledging other people's difficulties throughout this pandemic? Every time she's addressed the situation (which has been a rare occurrence in itself as she's mostly been acting like nothing was happening at all), it was always about
her. In December she was all "I'm so exhausted, I'm so overworked, typical me teeheeee I've taken on too many things all at once;" now it's "I'm so bored, every day is the same, I'm stuck here with my mom." When has she ever mentioned people losing their jobs, people not being able to see their families for a whole year, people dying, students being left behind, essential workers being under strain, people having to juggle working from home and child care all at the same time? Meanwhile, her financial situation has been intact, she's gotten to see friends and family on a daily basis all year long (by breaking the rules), she has a large mansion to stay in with plenty of space to exercise/work/relax, she has a large garden that allows her to go outside and get some fresh air everyday, and she has no one else to take care of but herself. I
really don't think she realizes how good she has it compared to 99.999999% of the population. She legitimately thinks being single is equivalent to the situations I described above.
And because she genuinely believes her situation is similar to the rest of us (cue "we're all in this together," "we're all in the same boat"), because she believes her life is
oh so terrible just because she's been dumped, she thinks it's appropriate to talk at us and tell us how we should feel / how we should cope / how we should deal with everything going on. As someone above rightfully pointed out, she gives so much unsolicited advice and it frankly comes across incredibly tone-deaf, sanctimonious, and just offensive. She keeps saying "I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, I think this is the final hurdle, we just need to power through and soon we'll get back to normal life." That might be the case for her but it literally won't be for millions of people? People have lost their livelihood, people have lost their family members, people have lost everything--it's not going to all just come back the minute lockdown is lifted? These comments just show the extent to which
she doesn't get it. Not to mention, I swear every single video includes some kind of self-love spiel at this point. Every single one. I don't quite know how to describe it, but every time she goes on these rants it sounds like she's trying to make it out like the advice applies for everyone, every situation, when it's actually clear it's only relevant for breakup type of situations? It was the same in her instagram live with that woman the other day. She throws these big words around like they are relevant for any type of hardship, but in reality it's so relationship focused. Practicing self-love and putting myself first is not going to solve anything as regards the fact that my parents are on the brink of eviction due to severe financial struggles, that I'm basically supporting my entire family and myself, that I have my own student loans to pay off, and that I haven't seen my family in a year and a half? It sounds like she’s constantly in her own mind and comes up with these wanna-be inspirational thoughts, which she thinks are groundbreaking but really just lack any kind of depth. I'm sorry but she's just
so dim, complete airhead who thinks she's some kind of intellectual. I can't stand it anymore.
