Wow, that video. A lot makes sense. The bit about in the drama space the MN gets approval, adoration, etc. reminded me of Shelly or Lily or whatever and all the fawning “my BFF” etc. at the level of a tween. Also the bit about how the MN doesn’t see the drama as embarrassing or humiliating.
When I read the stuff she’s written, been involved in, the rap sheet, the first-person accounts, I feel embarrassed just knowing about it. I cannot imagine a world in which I wouldn’t be utterly mortified to be associated with even one of these incidents let alone all of them. I would hide it, not actively flaunt it.
But that video makes it more understandable. Without a sense of some sort of propriety or decency and without a sense of shame I guess all of this can be made to seem okay, even legitimate (I was sticking up for my friends! I won’t take any crap! I fight back!) when all it really is is trashy and sad and crazy and destructive.
Sometimes I think of one of my favourite songs in which the singer says: Just out of spite; I confess I ruined three lives; Don’t sleep so tight; Because I didn’t care till I found out that one of them was mine
