rereading this novel through the lens of Jamison’s Grand Unified Theory of Female Pain is interesting. if the narrator weren’t a bitch, she would only be sad. her story would be melodramatic. she would be criticized for being self-pitying—women’s pain has been excessively belabored in media. the fact that she’s unbearable, then, adds another dimension. whether that is good requires more thought.

ouh yes...pretending that being emotional is childish and trite so you can feel superior instead of reflecting upon your loneliness and lovelessness.....(yeah sjlmfr)

"Rejection, I have found, can be the only antidote to delusion." clearly hasn't been effective enough for you
