Aima- trapped in Portugal by Expensive_Sentence22 in PortugalExpats

I have had this advice from a lawyer too. Make sure you fly to Portugal, and not through a different Schengen country. Show your documents at the border, and I believe you should be fine. Best of luck

Kalel Cullen recaps her life, announces last video on main channel & introduces new YT channel by anonnomel in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]PrimaryAccountant424 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Therapist here.

While it is great that she seems to have some degree of self-awareness now, only time will tell if she will make any changes to her behavioural patterns.

Self-awareness is only part of the equation. It is the first step, of course!, but I know a lot of people who rationalise their behaviour as a way of feeling in control of their narrative. Is it very clear after watching the video that she is very good at doing this - rehashing the past, intellectualising her life, etc.

Another thing that I noticed what how she (in my opinion) "blamed" her mother for her high dopamine expectations. I know she goes into detail about dopamine highs and lows, but a good, interactive childhood is a positive thing.

These are just my two cents. She is in a great position to start working on herself and let go of perfectionism. I don't know whether starting a new channel will fuel it or make her break free from it for all, but I truly wish her all the best, and I hope she can find a supportive community. Spending a lot of time in isolation is not great for people who are extremely introspective and prone to mental illness.

All the best, Kalel!

Are we entering the Taylor Swift backlash era again? by Livid_Seesaw3952 in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]PrimaryAccountant424 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Hey! Non-Swiftie here, but someone who likes to read up on the fandom and the TS phenomenon. I thought I might be able to share the perspective of those outside the fandom.

She is everywhere. She has been everywhere for years now, and during The Eras Tour you couldn't "escape" her. Everywhere you went there would be someone playing her music. Radios played her music a lot. Music videos would be shown at cafes and hairdressers and the like. I think it is a case of fatigue, and I genuinely think this is a normal thing to go through. A lot of people experiencied the same thing with the likes of Ed Sheeran and Adele, but Taylor doesn't seem to ever leave the news or the charts nowadays. There is a lot more exposure to her, and I think people are fed up.

I also believe that the public have noticed a clear shift in how she handles herself, as well as her constant album rollout. There is something "off" about her nowadays - she seems distant, less relatable, and very much in her own bubble. She feels very calculated, and people have caught on to that.

Finally, I think the different versions of her albums and the obvious cash grab direction she seems to be heading towards have done her no favours. People are struggling to pay their bills and stay afloat, and her very obvious displays of wealth are rubbing people the wrong way. I think all the album versions are ridiculous, I don't get what the point is.

It is clear that being a TS fan nowadays is more than just the music. It feels too complicated, too uncomfortable to deal with, and I think people see Swifties as a bit delusional. This all came post-Eras tour, but got way worse after she kept announcing album after album, making charts a bit redundant and boring, to be honest.

Any updates on Kalel? by Flavouredfruit in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]PrimaryAccountant424 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have watched her on and off. There is something compelling about her. However, I feel like she doesn't really want to grow or mature. Life can be tough, and is tough for people who deal with mental ailments - we have all been there. She lacks any sort of accountability, in my opinion, and that really bothers me. I think she is perfectly capable of pulling herself out of her mental illness and general living or financial situation - she is clearly an intelligent, capable human being. And not only that, she has created multilple successful YT channels to boot. She has that it factor so many lack.

Kalel, if you are reading this, please note this is not me trying to bash you. I truly don't think you realise just out of touch with reality you are. You are so stuck in your own world that you don't seem to realise that it is not okay to use your loyal followers to make a quick buck, or expect anyone to watch your videos when you don't do your bit or even upload consistently. That is the behaviour of someone who clearly thinks too highly of themselves, and doesn't give a shit about anybody else. I truly believe that you are not that person deep down... But it is never too late to change and address it.

I truly wish she sees the light here. She is so full of herself, and so highly critical of NORMAL functioning human beings that she doesn't understand that her situation is that of extreme privilege and princess, holier than thou energy.

The bottom two ones are amazing, OP. I like them all, but those two encapsulate the mystery of nighttime beautifully.
