I said at the beginning that I liked Rachel but I was worried she and Steven had victim mentality. Her behaviour at the retreat cemented in my mind that she has got stuck in victim mentality. She 100% chose to make herself a victim of Bec's stupid words, which she didn't need to do at all, but clearly couldn't help herself. Agree with all those who find Rachel's in the workplace so very tedious and draining.
Gia and Juliette (and Brooke) are the worst for me, because they are deliberately goady, mean, hurtful, unkind etc because they enjoy the power that it gives them. Of course it only gives them power if others step into their narrative (which is what Stella refused to do at that dinner party when Brooke was at her like a rabid dog) but that's not easy to do.
Still think this should be compulsory viewing for teenagers! So much to learn about what toxic behaviour looks like.😂
