A note on the Elle article: The author is on Twitter, she can see your tweets, and also it's not helpful nor does it make you look smarter to shower shame and contempt on someone who's the victim of a narcissist. Try compassion instead of self-aggrandizing flexing? Could work.
Yes the situation is absolutely wild but it's also pretty deeply wrapped up in mental health, and mocking someone in a pretty hard mental health situation is not the media-cool-girl flex you may think it is.
100% not surprised at who, specifically, is using this woman's struggle with a pretty tough, controlling relationship and hard mental health situation to pole vault into likes and egotistical posturing for themselves. But we could also...not do that.
There is a 100% chance that someone on Twitter is in a controlling/abusive/narcissistic relationship and seeing your mocking/superior tweets and thinking "this is why I can't ever tell anyone about what I'm going through, this is why no one would ever help me."
You can tweet whatever you want. But is it worth the joke and the few likes to ruin someone's mental health when they're already struggling with anxiety, (as she said in the piece) and in a clearly bad and controlling relationship? Seems intentionally hurtful, no?
