They also do it in a way where everyone ends up feeling insecure around them cuz they belittle everyone but in a very subtle way so everyone is seeking their validation instead of thinking, “wait why do I care what she thinks”. It’s kinda crazy how it’s always the same pattern. I’m into psych so I observe stuff like this really closely
my first roommate was like this and she would invite me to go to parties with her and our other roommates at first (i never went) but as time went on she stopped inviting me and just judged me silently since i was more of a homebody and suffering from anxiety my current roommate told me that she told everyone i was crazy when really she was just a horrible roommate
That’s also why they HATE ppl who are confident or free spirited and say they’re “weird” cuz in reality they just don’t give a shit what she thinks about them so to reclaim her power, she’ll shit talk them behind their back. Or anyone who can see thru her bull. I’m telling u, it’s literally the SAME PATTERN every damn time.
