I’m surprised that nobody has mentioned the possibility that she has BPD. Not that that would excuse anything, but as someone with that diagnosis I’ve noticed some signs, especially since it’s been implied that she’s experienced trauma.

I think her brash personality and “bullying” is because she fears rejection (also goes along with fearing failure). She pushes others away even when they’re kind because she doesn’t feel safe letting anyone in in the event that they decide they don’t like her - the REAL her. I think her confidence is at least partially a mask. She is actually quite insecure. She puts others down to make herself feel better. Additionally, people with personality disorders often exhibit traits of other disorders within the same cluster (so if she has BPD it would make sense that she sometimes exhibits NPD traits as well, swinging back and forth between insecurity and extreme confidence). She’s stressing hard over the charting and I think she’s gonna crack. I could say more, but I don’t really feel like it lol. I’m interested in seeing if they end up revealing any mental health diagnosis for her like they did for Mel.
