A genuinely nice and friendly thread about Meghan

[MonteShitshow]

Hi everyone! As suggested on another thread, I’m starting this to provide some balance to the MM / MS threads which have been perceived as bullying and not joyful.

So please feel free to join in and share something pleasant and joyful about your day or any comments about MM / MS as an antidote if the other threads have caused you upset. Please be nice!

I’ll begin by saying that writing notes by hand is a lovely thing to do, and conveys sincerity beyond any effusive email or text message. And nice handwriting is a bonus! Hand cramp is a problem of the digital age.

Also, I’ve watched two episodes of the series now, and I love the garden plants in California. Waiting for the spring to bloom here!

This only applies to the US. A group of us (retired and practicing) agree with each other but it doesn't need to affect you personally so don't allow yourself to get wound up. I reiterate, let's leave it at that. I still stand by my opinions but I no longer wish to post in this thread.

A whole group of fantasist armchair ‘trained’ psychologists now. Excellent. 😄

🤣🤣 Believe what you want Drama dog 😂

Wrong!!

The Goldwater Rule, in the UK, is a principle that restricts psychiatrists from offering opinions on the mental state of public figures unless they have personally examined them. This principle, originally established by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) in 1973, is upheld by the Royal College of Psychiatrists in the UK according to the Royal College of Psychiatrists. It aims to prevent psychiatrists from making diagnoses or offering opinions about individuals they haven't assessed, particularly when those individuals are in the public eye according to Psychology Today.

Similar to the psychiatrists' Goldwater Rule, our code of ethics exhorts psychologists to "take precautions" that any statements they make to the media "are based on their professional knowledge, training or experience in accord with appropriate psychological literature and practice" and "do not indicate that a professional relationship has been established" with people in the public eye, including political candidates. When providing opinions of psychological characteristics, psychologists must conduct an examination "adequate to support statements or conclusions". In other words, our ethical code states that psychologists should not offer a diagnosis in the media of a living public figure they have not examined.

Quite! 😂😂😂

Anyway, I’ve decided my first go at one of MS creations is going to be her baked donuts which I think (I) my kids will love! ❤️

Good lord how long did it take you to find this? It’s time you will never get beck you know. You also may want to note I said it MAY

Ooh, all of about three minutes. It’s from my uni resources so was pretty easy to lay my eyes on it. I don’t mind taking a few minutes to grab my old research papers if there’s something niggling at me. Was only winding down before I go to bed anyway for my shift.

Edited to say, you said - quote - may ONLY, capitalisation on the ONLY, indicated that the emphasis was on that word, and so the sentence read that it may ONLY be used in the US. Don’t worry, I did double check in case it read the way you’re trying to back pedal to now.

I don’t think any of us are exactly busy if we’re on mumsnet.

Oh and @EvieBB definitely said that it only applied to the US, so it was probably unfair of me to not correct her on it also.

There busy and there’s busy! 😆

Oh my word do get a grip. It’s not my fault you read it that way. No need to be embarrassed we’re all girls together. I still prefaced that with May so no I didn’t get it wrong and it may or it may not be. Okay

Nah, if you’re on here, you can’t knock others for being on here.

Oh come on 😂😂😂. There’s disingenuous and then there’s plain trying to pull the wool!

You wrote:

^The American Association may ONLY be applicable to the States.^ Quote unquote.

You don’t need to be a linguist to understand that the word may is synonymous with the word can in the context of the following word “only” being given emphasis (in this case by using all caps), giving a very clear meaning to the sentence, that the AA can ONLY be applicable in the US. Any native English reader can easily understand this.

I brought information to prove otherwise. Ergo your statement was wrong. It’s ok to be wrong sometimes. Best to be gracious about it though.

It’s not at all it’s how you interpreted it. It’s not a big deal. Chill out with one of Megan’s podcasts

@Munnygirl why do you keep editing your comments? You know we can all see the edits. For what it’s worth, I’m not embarrassed in the slightest because I read it correctly, although I can see where you’re coming from now if you’re a girl. Maturity takes time and a lot of self reflection and admitting you’re wrong. That comes with age.

Anyway, whether you meant MAY only, or may ONLY, either is wrong. The Goldwater Rule is 100% applicable in the UK, according to the Royal College of Psychiatrists UK amongst others, so the point is moot.

But I never said it wasn’t though. I don’t know one way or the other and to be frank I couldn’t be bothered to look it up (as I am in the middle of playing a very exciting game in Royal match and I didn’t want ANYTHING to distract me) and that’s why I used the word may. But I’m glad it’s all clarified now.

Royal match. Well there’s busy and there’s busy. 😬

Hey we all need a crutch 😆. You’ve got yours and I’ve got mine

Better Royal match or psychology than being a fantasist on mumsnet telling us you’re a trained psychologist whilst diagnosing Stockholm syndrome and narcissism. Or someone who believes that shit. Too funny.

How strange to bump an old thread and then use it to share what you might have trained as.

Don’t take it all so seriously. I think you need Royal Match in your life. Try it you might like it!

If that’s aimed at me, I didn’t bump the thread, it came up in active for me. I was sharing some of my research resources to refute @EvieBBs ridiculous assertions that she’s a non practicing trained psychologist who is absolutely and legitimately qualified to diagnose MS as NPD and DA towards Harry and that HS has stockholm syndrome, from some tv appearances and a “hollow look in his eyes” (wtaf). I’m not a psychologist, I did psychology as part of my forensics degree, but I’m a lowly paramedic now 😂

i only wanted to complement Meghan on her show! I thought it was delightful. Binge watched it in fact. I’m even going to try her baked donuts!! 🍩

Fantasists and those that encourage them with cheers and 👏 always give me a good laugh and there’s plenty of each on mumsnet for entertainment. Also hypocrites that tell others not to take it too seriously when they take it very seriously most of the time themselves. I couldn’t take them seriously if I tried.

Honestly Drama you do need to note take all this so seriously
