And this is exactly the kind of odd behaviour that cannot be excused by mental health struggles. The way a human treats animals is a big signal of their character, not to mention that she doesn't seem to mind them living surrounded by their own dog tit.

I have a mental health condition that gives me horrible verbal ticks - it's like a dissociative thing, if I'm going to have a PTSD flashback, my brain goes into overdrive to do anything to distract me. The words are nonsense and are usually echolalia (repeating something you heard somewhere else). So I might say something innocent like "Smithers!" Or I might say something horrible like "Please kill me." I'm not actually speaking to anyone, it's just an unstoppable tic. I usually try to cover my mouth with my hand, but even then you can still tell I'm saying something.

Last year I left a job I loved because it was customer facing, and the stress was making my tics get worse. Something I was saying a lot at the time was "Cut my hair off", which I don't know where that's from or what it means, but obviously it makes me look insane. It's really sad for me that I have to go around saying these things, because people avoid me since I look like I'm dangerously deranged, which I'm not. My workplace were kind and said "You mustn't try to suppress the tics because it's not your fault you have this disability"... but I just knew that I can't work serving customers when I randomly say things that could scare them. It's not like every single time it happens, I can say "Sorry, it's just a tic, I didn't mean it", especially to someone I'm only ever going to interact with for 20 seconds.

So I left that job. I was completely heartbroken, but I knew I had to do it. I got a job where I can work in an office alone so that I don't have the humiliation of people seeing my tics and I don't upset other people with them. I deliberately have to not have relationships, because I know that the heightened emotions make me too unstable and I can't behave properly. I took myself off social media for years because (like a certain someone!) I wrote embarrassing stuff on there when I was crazy.

I've been in therapy for many years and I'm on a lot of medication, so I've made a load of progress in the past decade, but at this rate it looks like I'll always be very far from a normal life. But (to toot my own horn) because I am a nice and thoughtful person, I do these things to limit damage to other people. It's heckin' sad for me to be unable to have a life that other people take for granted, but I have integrity: I know I'm mentally ill to the extent that I can't control some things, so I have to do the best with what I can control. I do that because I understand that other people are as important as I am, and I don't have a free pass to hurt them.

Even this woman I know who has major mental health issues, is very difficult and does a lot of drugs, recognised that her mental health was too bad to care for her cats, so she gave them to her sister who has a nice home for them.

When Britney posts about how awful her sons are for not speaking to her, we see that she has never had a moment of clarity or empathy like "I want them to be happy, and maybe the way I behave is too much for them." It's possible that she can't control how she behaves, but in that case she has to allow that other people might have to avoid her.

Britney was in 24 hour care for years because of her mental health and behaviour, yet she has never admitted that she has ANY problems. She always comes out guns blazing "Other people are the problem, I will behave however I want." Who can be in the most serious mental health conservatorship for years and not once wonder if they might actually have problems? Even if there was nothing wrong with you, it would cross your mind, right?

There is such a thing as "lack of insight" which means when someone is so ill that they are far removed from reality so they don't think they're being weird. But even if she doesn't think she's mentally ill, she knows she's shaking her bum on Instagram, she knows she's doing [whatever it is that makes that poor doggy so tense around her], and I personally think she's doing drink and drugs, which she will also know about. Yet she never has had one moment of "Maybe it's embarrassing for my sons that they can see their mom shaking her butt in front of millions or people." "Maybe if the dog doesn't like me, I should find out what I need to do to make him feel at ease." "Why do all my friends stop speaking to me, am I doing something wrong?" "I shouldn't have said Xtina was chubby, that would obviously be hurtful." "There is dog tit on the floor, am I really ok with that?" Nothing, nada, ever. To this extent, Britney knows how she acts. She just doesn't want to be held accountable. If she thought her behaviour was ok, why would she hide her drink and drug use?

Sorry, I think I write these huge posts because of my cognitive problems 😅

Wherever books are sold. Sounds so unprofessional 😂

Britney approached him and touched him without consent, it's a stretch to suggest that Lou knows what she's doing and orchestrated the whole thing

No I’m not saying she orchestrated the whole thing at all 🤣 I meant the negativity but then again negativity is something Britney always gets no matter what.

The Front cover of her book 🤯 tbh I knew it wasn’t going to be from any kind of new shoot. I do look forward to reading it though.

I don't like that dog's body language. If you dance in front of your dog, doesn't it always jump up and join in? That dog seems to be sitting back uneasily, like he thinks something unsafe might happen. Yes, he goes over and wags his tail when she gets down on the floor, but it looks more like "Dog optimistically approaching a stranger" than "Yay, playtime with my mum!"

The wagging is an appeasing action with some body language (mainly lying flat). So it’s probably scared and hoping to be left alone.

Kind of like a nervous smile when a human feels uncomfortable.

Same but surely it’s been thoroughly checked numerous times…I would hope so.

Pretty sure the reason it's taken so long to come out is because people weren't happy about being mentioned in it but I could be wrong? So I'd think it's definitely been thoroughly checked.

EDIT: I'm just imagining the potential press tour. It could either be the making of her or a complete mess. But honestly I don't expect her to even do press for it. It'll sell like hot cakes regardless.

Imagine going to the shopping centre and seeing a huge line outside Waterstones and Britney in the window twirling 😬 No, I really don’t think she will do a press tour/book signings!
 
Jamie lynn and Lynne's books really were a pile of p****, they were both badly written cash grabs.

I'm expecting Brits book to be similar. I'm strongly sensing this now because they've announced Brits book will be released on an imprint of the main publisher, i don't think that bodes well... Usually means they don't have the creme de creme editors on it, or they don't want it associated with their main brand.
