Geez, I was OOTL, so I just watched the source for the first time… Wow. It’s so much worse than I expected. Main Character Syndrome dialed up to 11. A hundred people have to stare at you and wait while you make a scene and finish your whining monologue before leaving.
Sorry if you’ve seen it before and are over it, but this is the entitlement of a privileged white woman on full display. I think she was under the effects of something, or having a mental break or something, but even if she just “had an agreement with someone” (as she claims), she then had to inconvenience everyone else with her tantrum…

Probably

I think she was genuinely having a bad trip. Yes, it’s unbecoming to act that way but I’d rather give her the benefit of the doubt and think some drugs she took disagreed with her than think she’s just an awful and very difficult person regularly. 🥲

Here acts after the facts weren’t a very good look either.

Isn’t assuming that she’s narcissistic because she’s white a racist assumption?
(I’m neither white nor racist)

I didn’t say that, that was the person I was replying to, but let me see: maybe. It’s the intersection of being both white (of European descent) and American (most likely the descendant of genocidal settlers and, if not, at least part of the in group by now) that makes her more likely to act this way because of a personal shortcoming, a flawed character, instead of something else like drugs (even if I want to believe otherwise because I’d rather ignore some things and remain sane and hopeful). Americans are largely confused and propagandised, white Americans are straight up insane and bloodthirsty (else the entirety of American history wouldn’t have taken place), at least on average and relative to the rest of the world. This country elected Trump, Bush, Nixon, etc and tacitly accepts or even encourages and fully supports the police harassing, assaulting, murdering and now kidnapping minorities, let’s be real for a second and accept white Americans are, on average and as part of the country, “bad people”.
Let’s put it this way: I’ve never seen such chutzpah except for in European Americans and Israelis (TBF to the European Israelis, it might be more their American side than their Israeli/Zionist one, but I guess they have the same origins). I don’t think it has much to do with race by itself, or at all even, and but the sociocultural background of these groups (being an imperialist amoral little devil doesn’t help your overall attitude, I guess).
