as a fellow anxiety frau, I did feel for her a bit when it became clear that she was struggling and I know that feeling of "shit I'm about to cry, gotta hold it in" all too well, as has been said, it's when the adrenaline drops and you think, "fuck, I've made a show of myself"

however

I would never never never sign up to do any sort of live event on camera, especially if I knew there were potentially 600 people watching specifically to see if I fuck up

anyway, i certainly don't feel bad about watching to see if she'll fuck up, cos any sympathy soon vanishes when you remember the tantrum she threw to get on telly last year, the endless grifting, the thousands of pounds of luxury items she owns while pretending to be poor, dash in the garage, the kitten........ etc etc etc

I missed it because I’m BUSY but just caught up on insta and I’m so stressed by the obvious crying at the end. What happened? I actually thought she was much better after she relaxed slightly and just chatted (the pineapple tampon bit... well, tampon pineapple I should say as pineapple tampon sounds so painful....much like this insta live) but the at the end I really thought she had received bad news.

Thanks @Pocahontas

god that was indeed “terrible”, her shaky voice at the end, I thought she was crying and have to admit I did feel uncomfortable and logged off to have a moment of reflection.

Sorry not sure how to cross post from the last thread but absolutely this: https://tattle.life/threads/jack-monroe-165-shes-in-a-fugue-state.17018/post-4299481

I would perhaps feel sorry for her if she recognised that she can’t present, she’s awful at it and brings no value but she genuinely thinks she’s deserving of these opportunities and thinks she’s doing everyone a favour.
Her rant about THAT MAN has certainly come back to bite her.

Yes I think I need to have a picture of THAT MAN in the background whenever I watch her to ease any guilt.

@LavaFlake your comment in the last thread and hat position had me hooting as I could hear Nessa saying it.

Watched along while trying to cajole Little Beds into the bath...
“Mummy what are you watching? Can I watch?”
“I’m watching someone try to cook pineapple and chicken”
“Yuck! BORING” then he went and got in the bath. I’d like to add his yelling boring is his current ‘thing’ but was so bloody apt.

Who does that though? It is so jarring with the Jack we have just seen.

She’s definitely (seemingly) managed to switch her anxiety off a lot quicker than I’d be able to. Unless she had the post planned in advance and saved in drafts maybe. I agree with the previous Fraus who think this is why she didn’t promote on Twitter, the squigs would see it and find it way more jarring than we do (and it is really jarring even for us as you said).
 
I watched, we actually watched it eating dinner (thank goodness I made soup tonight!). My husband was very perturbed by her saying that other brands or own brands use the rubbish bits of pineapples, we both went “Eeew that’s dirty!” at the roasting tin and my toddler asked if we could watch “mermaids” instead.

She really was nervous wasn’t she? Get organised you twit.

is it called ‘Upside Down’ chicken because that’s how you’re going to feel when it’s coming out both ends?

Mine was like: who's that? Is that you?
