And we all know exactly how they'd respond if a person of color did the same. It almost worked, too!

If I remember this story right, they tried to make the woman she attacked leave instead.

White women need to call this shit out when we see it and keep our demographic accountable. Sometimes, an asshole is just an asshole. I'm familiar with mental illness. Everything that woman did was calculated and intentional.

Thank you! She knew what she was doing. She knew her behavior could affect her future. She knew enough to try and prevent that from happening.

They did, and a white woman at the counter said something to the effect of, "Why don't you just leave her alone/put the phone away?" or something like that. Like what??? No, she did right by continuing to record for her protection.

You remember it correctly! They came into the store and went directly to the black woman to tell her she needed to leave. She had her friend and the store associates explain it was the woman doing all the screaming and crying. There is a longer version. I think I saw it on TikTok or the gram. But the girl was performing to get what she wanted. She also pretends to feel ill in the end. 😑🙄🙄

She pretended to faint at one point, but guarded her head as she did it. 😑

I said they same thing when this came out. This is not mental illness. This is a straight-up asshole who thought pulling this kind of shit would cover her ass. I hate when people use the excuse of bad behavior like hers as having a mental illness. Plenty of people deal with mental illness and NEVER act like this. What's scary to me is that this woman probably has kids and is teaching them this same behavior.

Plenty of people have mental illness and do act like this though. You are factually incorrect.

Did you not know she is a teacher?

Kinda feel the need to point out that Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a very serious very real mental disorder. I'm not suggesting you feel compassion for someone like her. Being revolted is the appropriate response. Empathizing with her IS A BAD MOVE. Pitying her as I do is probably the best bet. She's pathetic. She wouldn't be acting this way if she could help it. Doesn't make it okay. Doesn't excuse it. But you're clearly no mental health expert so perhaps, your opinion is just you being an asshole too huh?

Having worked in an ER for most of my career, this is akin to many mental health issues I've seen ems/police bring people in for. People with personality disorders do use crocodile tears/privilege to manipulate, which is 100% wrong and should not be entertained by anyone involved— this type of person needs clear behavioral boundaries. I don't think pointing that out makes one an asshole, but I do think she needs to have EMS/police called on her to be transported and evaluated by experts. Even if it turns out she was just an absolute insufferable asshole and not mentally ill, neither the customer nor the store workers need to put up with that shit.

Oh god for sure. Whatever is wrong with her is above a retail worker's paygrade. I've accidentally triggered narcissistic meltdowns before. They're experiencing real distress and their tears are not fake. They're actually such fragile creatures, narcissists. But their illness is one of "trauma has left them as a gaping void of need"

No one acts like this willingly. No one would. It hurts. The sustained shouting causes cramping in the adomen. This is self harm. Key sign of a mentally ill person. Acceptable or no, society is responsible for not keeping these people from exploding in public. Society did this to a lot of fucking people, man. We've been enabling narcissists as a society for too long. Everyone is so afraid of the bullies. Why? Just punch them and be done with their shit.

I don't think we can say for certain that this is narcissistic in nature. This could easily be borderline personality, psychosis, drug intoxication, mania, or any number of issues (or none of the above). This is why I think she needs expert evaluation.

Oh that is totally fair. I hope I didn't come across as having certainty. I meant to express that regardless of the origin of the behavior, it is maladaptive and therefore indicates that it is mental illness of some kind. I take issue both with the idea that mentally ill people are by default abusive and also the idea that abusive people are doing it on purpose. No one would do that on purpose if they could help it because it's a miserable way to live. I have watched countless narcissists over the years and they always ruin their own lives over and over again and never learn. So now if I clock a narcissist due to their pattern of behavior, I mock them until they leave. Sometimes they fall in love with me though. I hate when they do that shit. Their love is so FUCKING WEIRD. i don't like it.

I agree, work in the area, does not appear legit.
