Now read carefully as I will write this once and once only.
Selmar my view on everything is because his mother was artistic, he and his siblings were different from the rest of the crowd. he doesn't appear to have friends left behind him in the Netherlands. He doesn't appear to have had an intense emotional relationship with anyone when he was younger.
Apart from his accident I don't believe he was a star at school, what he showed us about his job was far different from what a tool maker who flated with us in my very long ago days. Looked more like a pattern maker in metal. My asumpton is that because of his family lifestyle he didn't have many friends at school and tended towards living an alternative life of fantasy.
The drawings he showed Stephaine were a very naive nature, exactly what he is. He had never been popular and whole lalande experience made him feel loved admired by many people throughout the world. There has been no reality check that was an exceptional time, a WW pandemic, social media WWconnectivity far different from 1918 when people in your country didn't know what was happening except in their small locations.
When he left and went to Bill and Viviane he tried to recreate the lalande there. The very cringeworthyness of doing his own Chateau Cadeaux, the easter egg hunt was to me vomit inducing.
He hasn't grown up, he wants to be a star someone who is recognisable someone people flock to as they did with their comments on Chateau diaries. Life has moved on so have people we have a new normal and Selmar is forgettable.
Producing vlogs showing a kitten playing or rabbits in a chateau room show how limited his world is, thats the type of world people who are sick and unable to socialise because of their illness, be it cancer, anxiety or whatever live in. Seen it far too often in my nursing days.
It is my belief he is going to become a blight in the Chateauverse, travelling from vloging Chateau to Chateau trying to content and bludging off the workaway system. He can never recreate 2020 again.
When he came on here I skipped those threads he had nothing to provide me with, I only hope I have expressed myself sufficently that this does not become a derail. Or I ahve insulted any fellow tattlers, and if Selmar is still on here and reads this he reflects on the past and puts it in that knapsack of the his back, them removes and throws it away. By doing so he will become a better person. IMHO
Repeating myself I am not a Selmar fan. I've had my say, that's it no more on the topic from me. These are my feelings and assumption, I only hope two things from thsi post .
