Yes, I’m aware personality disorders exist. Putting aside your mischaracterizations of BPD and alcoholism, it’s certainly not characteristic of a mood disorder. If we must play diagnosis charades, it’s narcissistic behavior.

That’s fine. I don’t want it. I just don’t think there’s a correlation between your grandmother’s mood disorder and the behavior you described about your grandmother in this post.

Mood disorders aren’t synonymous with what you’re describing. That’s just called being a jerk. And yes, she’s probably a jerk about politics.

I mean, people don’t really kill themselves without depressogenic thinking going on. Other factors may it more likely (such as the presence of mania and/or substance abuse) but there’s always some core level of depression going on, even if the presentation differs somewhat. Suicide is the last stage of untreated…

I’m sorry that happened to you. That was not okay.

All of the things you bring up have more positive or neutral interpretations, yet always seems to be interpreted by you in the worst way. Obviously she…

But what has she done that has been truly toxic? Complaining about MIL and husband seems like her worst offenses. Otherwise, she seems like she’s trying really hard to be OP’s friend.

Sure, it’s inappropriate. But also pretty easy to navigate. Just don’t join her in the grousing, make polite nods, and then roll your eyes when she’s gone away. Pretty typical in-law stuff IMHO.

In the world of in-law sins, complaining about the spouse ranks pretty low. Let the old woman vent.

Why would a PR person make that up? Any news is good news?

I read it more as his way of saying he’s happy she’s doing well. So not gross.

It’s a study geared at finding discomfort. It found discomfort. That’s not contamination!

Exactly what I was thinking. Careless ignorance is not a great look - but still better than intentional hate.

Don’t we all?

Sad to learn he’s stupid. Go back to making dick jokes on Game Grumps, dude. That was your calling.

There is definitely merit to the idea that anime right now has gotten stale and masturbates to itself in more ways than one, but I think we have to always put out that caveat that there is still great, moody, interesting stuff being put out there. Hell, ACCA came out this season:

He looks more like a Jeff to me.

It should be obvious to the man if you don’t orgasm? If not, either the woman is faking or the man is not paying attention - and both are big problems.

It’s more like Trump’s fee-fees were hurt, but, agreed.
