First of all, you are right as there are too many amateur psychiatrists. I also agree that religion may have played a part in her parenting styles. As I also said, I would not be surprised if Franke's parents abused her too. On the other hand, I disagree with both of you on the diagnosis. First of a... |

I have been dealing with some colleagues at work who are definitely bullies. For instance, my supervisor and a former supervisor openly mocked me. This was when I attempted to say hi to them. |

Over the weekend, I learned about a big-time YouTuber named Ruby Franke. I have seen archived content and heard several horrible stories about her.
After seeing her content, I want to know if she has been diagnosed with a mental disorder. If not, what do you suspect she has? |

This behavior starts in middle school because they want to blend in. Most people like that are afraid to be bullied themselves so they also bully.
Meanwhile, you have bullies who appear to be friends with their victims but are only use the opportunity to feel superior. |

Things really depend on the bully themselves. For instance, you have your alpha humans in a social setting who usually have certain standards in place. They are also people who know how to control and step other people into getting what they want. They are mostly to be surrounded by beta people who ... |

I don't think that NBC is a credible source of information and they get a lot of facts wrong. As for what I am reading, it sounds like this neighbor likes creating drama. It sounds like this person is probably finding an excuse to get money. As for the caregiver, that's discrimination which she coul... |

I am finding that most people gossip about others like that because they either want attention or because they want to think it's the hip social convention. Also, most people who gossip will stab everyone in the back. However, people like that are usually toxic individuals. I have had people spread ... |

On my birthday, I went out for a milkshake and then went to an aquarium.
Then I got together with some friends on the following weekend by going out for lunch. |

What about giving up
