1.Very successful in the workplace but several failed marriages/falls out with people quite regularly.
2.Always thinks she is right

  1. Very opinionated.
  2. Very dependent on others for emotional support and does not like being alone.
  3. Very forgetful especially with basic tasks. For example, if someone needs a written response to a question, she will take weeks to reply.
  4. Fails to see things from others perspectives a lot of the time and is frequently confused when people get angry with them.
  5. Always has to be out and doing things and is very much the life and soul of the party.
  6. Lacks boundaries and will tell even strangers or inappropriate people such as their employees about their personal issues.
  7. Likes validation from others when they get accused of doing something wrong. Will 'poll' people to get their views.
10. Absolutely heartbroken and livid when she got cheated on but left out the part when she cheated on her 2 previous partners. One rule for everyone else and how they should behave and one for her.

Someone you clearly don’t like and want complete strangers to gang up on for no good reason

YABU and a bitch

TheGlitteringGlodhareofPenlee · 01/12/2020 23:55

Oh lord how nasty of you OP bitching about someone on t'internet, or are you the subject matter

YoniAndGuy · 01/12/2020 23:57

Oh don’t be so hard on yourself OP, I’m sure you’ve got some good points too 😂

Ringading7 · 02/12/2020 00:08

Someone who has deep anxieties.

Summerdayshaze · 02/12/2020 00:24

Me?

JessieR2386 · 02/12/2020 02:33

How can someone posting anonymously about another anonymous person be guilty of defamation? 😕

PirateCatQueen · 02/12/2020 02:36

Fictional.

1.Very successful in the workplace but several failed marriages/falls out with people quite regularly. Divorce is not a moral failure.

2.Always thinks she is right Human condition, unfortunately,

  1. Very opinionated. See point above
  1. Very dependent on others for emotional support and does not like being alone. Human condition again
  1. Very forgetful especially with basic tasks. For example, if someone needs a written response to a question, she will take weeks to reply. Er, needs to write things down more but probably not Satan's little helper
  1. Fails to see things from others perspectives a lot of the time and is frequently confused when people get angry with them. Sounds a bit like autism, speaking as an autistic person
  1. Always has to be out and doing things and is very much the life and soul of the party. This is a bad thing?
  1. Lacks boundaries and will tell even strangers or inappropriate people such as their employees about their personal issues. See point above about autism
  1. Likes validation from others when they get accused of doing something wrong. Will 'poll' people to get their views. Human condition! No one wants to admit they are wrong
  1. Absolutely heartbroken and livid when she got cheated on but left out the part when she cheated on her 2 previous partners. One rule for everyone else and how they should behave and one for her. HUMAN CONDITION

So, a lot of it is being a bit self-righteous (which is irritating in it's own right) but I think this whole thread is a bit bloody ironic.

thosetalesofunexpected · 02/12/2020 03:14

I would describe this individual as someone I would not want to know or have anything if possible to do with

Your description sounds like a narisstistic, female friend of my Arsehole shit Loser poor excuse of a Partner I once had .

I have thankfully got shot of Both of them...😊

Notapheasantplucker · 02/12/2020 03:59

Well if it's not you, you seem to know an awful lot about this person who you dislike so much. Concentrate on yourself.

HappyChristmasTreeRex · 02/12/2020 04:03

Probably very vulnerable.

Sara2000 · 02/12/2020 04:17

Sounds like a human being. Warts and all.

I take it your not perfect yourself OP?

DryRoastPeanut · 02/12/2020 04:35

Well said @berrygirlie.

Krispybyname · 02/12/2020 05:15

Sounds like a weirdo to me, as for the claim that nobody wants to admit they are wrong - well, some people take it to extremes and make themselves a laughing stock. Everyone knows when someone has made a mistake and it's just embarrassing when they won't admit it.

Gingerkittykat · 02/12/2020 05:44

I knew people would start diagnosing this unknown stranger with mental maladies, so far we have ADHD and BPD.

Which armchair diagnosis comes next?

stressfullday · 02/12/2020 05:49

Come back op

DianaT1969 · 02/12/2020 07:30

A previous poster said the OP has form for starting threads and not returning.

1stDecember · 02/12/2020 07:33

Someone who has the normal range of faults and foibles.

MichelleScarn · 02/12/2020 07:37

This isn't the poster who starts threads that are dreadful and seems to then enjoy the pile on/being told how awful they are in some form of masochistic degradation?

jessstan1 · 02/12/2020 07:58

@Sonders

I'd describing that person as "someone with an acquaintance who starts cryptic threads on Mumsnet"
Agreed, also someone who starts of as a her and ends up a 'them'.

Apart from all that, the woman sounds quite immature and rather silly; obviously nobody has ever taught her how to be tactful, fair and non intrusive.

However it isn't your place to tell her unless she offends you directly. Live and let live.

Osteomancer · 02/12/2020 08:00

Someone you dislike enough to start a thread with lots of detail, but not enough to come back and comment

Who is she to you? Why do you give a shit? Do you need help finding a grip?

PrancersgotnothingonPortia · 02/12/2020 09:34

Miaow

HappydaysArehere · 02/12/2020 09:40

Someone to avoid!!!
