A mean but honest assessment of the people the author describes, author included: crippled by cognitive dissonance, confusing their unwillingness to negotiate or compromise with passion or drive and engrossed with the movie or novel that is their overly dramatized lives. They just need a solemn pop song to kick in whenever someone rebukes them. Maybe an enterprising developer could make an app for that.
I know people like this - they add drama where it isn't needed, over analyze and romanticize simple interactions preventing them from forming a trusting and therefore stable relationship. You can almost see the imaginary cameras they think are following them throughout life, the star of their own reality TV show.
Their expectations for what a relationship should be are so contorted and highly-strung that they're doomed to failure from the beginning. Thankfully they seem to attract each other and form a layer of social sediment separated from the bedrock that is practical people. Best of luck to them.
- zem 11y ago"bridget jones" was a great fictional exploration of this sort of mindset, i thought.
- AmandaShebang 11y agoBook Bridget Jones even more so than film Bridget Jones.
