Within the past couple of days, Samantha Brinks has become the talk of the Internet. Why? Because she posted an article that offended a number of people, and then she had the gall to post a second article boo-hooing her hurt feelings at the responses she received.
Grow up, lady. The article was egotistical and arrogant; no one has anything positive to say about a person who comes right out and claims that she is harassed at work because other women do not like her looks. Based off of this article, I would say that the negativity she feels from people is due to her attitude rather than her looks.
Grow up, Internet. The article rubbed a lot of us the wrong way, but that is no reason to viciously attack this woman. Go ahead and state your opinion, but don't resort to name-calling and verbal attacks. You disagree with her. Fine. Don't stoop to her level of annoying.
While my initial response to reading these articles was incredulity that someone would have the nerve to write something so full of narcissism, my ultimate feeling toward Samantha Brinks is pity. The woman has an over-inflated view of herself that goes beyond self-confidence. Clearly she needed to find some excuse as to why she has few friends and why she is the pariah of her social circle. Unfortunately, by clinging to this excuse, she will never be able to fit in and get along with the people around her. I feel like she is the spoiled child on the playground, always putting people down for having less, and then wondering why she is alone.
