Dude, it sounds so exhausting. Constantly keeping track of everyone's contact info, setting rules about who can talk to who, managing all the activities and recruiting and everything? Holy shit that's a ton of work just to get your narcissism out of your system...

I hate Missouri so so much. I grew up there, and my parents still live there. I don't live there anymore, but this shit just sends me into a rage spiral. It makes me so sad.

She has just as much of a savior complex as Woody does.

Chills

She hasn't changed him because their entire relationship likely functions with her being the receptacle for all of his narcissistic neuroses and sexual needs. It's great to be in a relationship with a young person from a different culture, because she may not have the emotional tools to push back against an authority…

I am also a TA and agree with you! In my experience, people use this phrase as they engage in discussion on things that A) they don’t yet have a great deal of expertise, and which they will formulate stronger opinions on the more they work on it.

Yeah, get rid of her

Did anyone else read recently about a Black Lives Matter leader who committed suicide in Ohio? I can’t remember his name, unfortunately, but I was so saddened when I read it. I think that when you commit to such deep involvement in society changing work — especially on the scale of BLM — that it’s very easy to get…

I find her essay a bit problematic as well. She is very vague about describing her “sex work.” I looked her up, and found this in another article she wrote:

A characteristic that I see among people in my life who are frequent complainers is the habit to take very mundane and innocuous occurrences very personally, as if the event is directly aimed at thwarting them, and not just some normal happenstance that occurs all the time.

Oh god this is so me

I bet he’s not either

Aww! That sounds kind of sweet, actually.

A lot of people see it as a stepping stone to some sort of career. And I think once they leave the show, not being in the spotlight anymore can be really hard for people who had high expectations...

This is everything that I have wanted to tell people, written succinctly and clearly. Thank you.
