I completely forgot Stephanie existed for yearssss, randomly remembered her and used her Twitter/this thread to catch up and oh boy.
I think the word narcissist gets thrown around far too lightly nowadays (the way sociopath used to 15-20 years ago) but I truly believe she is a raging narcissist.
She’s so prickly and demanding about ‘privilege’ yet she’s so regularly tone deaf and offensive herself. I also think she’s something of a pathological liar. I remember that story she told awhile back about the guy who she went on a date with and they slept together and then his mate emailed her that it was actually a whole ‘pull a pig’ joke/bet that they all had. I personally never believed any of this actually happened.
As for this long distance ‘relationship’ that she’s making such a fuss over - she is far too old to be this silly. Has this man offered you anything concrete yet to be shouting from the rooftops? She has such a smug attitude of somehow being really smart and clued up about life, and above it all. But she couldn’t be further away from that, her whole happiness and sense of worth clearly revolves around being ‘chosen’ by a man.
She was awful and bitter about couples and public displays of romance and affection and did a 180 as soon as she got into a “relationship” herself. But you’d think she’d chill out abit until there was something substantial to show off. The fact that she’s had to travel to him first, the fact that’s she’s the one banging on about moving to America for him? All very clear indications that she is the only one actually invested here. It’s already looking volatile considering the break up make up that happened the other week. Long distance doesn’t make sense unless you’re already in a strong committed relationship and a clear (mutually discussed and agreed upon) time line and plan is in place for when you’ll live together in the future.
I’ll be honest people like her scare me. They’re emotional black holes. Everything is disingenuous and self serving. And using legitimate social justice issues like racism, feminism, classism etc to simply further your own agenda and be a professional victim. It’s not about trying to do your part to further the fight for inequality, it’s just a ploy for attention and self gratification. Just constant manipulation and narrative twisting to suit yourself. The thing is people like this tend to struggle a lot in their personal lives, so having to beg on IG for friends and this weird one sided long distance situationship that she’s trying to pass off as a great love story doesn’t surprise me in the least.
wonder if she always does this?
