Does anyone else just feel desperately
Sorry for ruby?
Like she’s so desperate to be validated by her intelligence and academic achievement, it’s as though there’s nothing else in her life whatsoever. Academia is important to so many people, but she seems so lost to me.
I think the whole ED speculation is probably accurate but it’s dangerous to assume and quite problematic from my perspective. Speaking as an ED survivor, it’s an individualised illness, so to put that onto Ruby is difficult to see.
That being said, the perfectionism traits are so strong in Ruby. I really hope she finds some value other than being the best at academia.
