Or narcissistic behavior like some people have said?

From my friend Jaiden that I posted about, just curious.

Sounds like a child or someone extremely immature that has uncritically absorbed idealistic, unrealistic, and counter-productive mass cultural ideals (meaning, created by the ultra-rich owners of media/advertising corporations to manipulate the masses for their own ends) without thinking about the necessary sacrifices to achieve those goals, or the negative consequences that would occur as a result of achieving those goals, or whether any of those goals would actually lead to fulfillment and happiness.

She's 24, my age. She has apparently suffered extreme abuse for years and is locked up in her house, IDK.

My other guess would be she's ~~a narcissist~~ exhibiting narcissistic behavior and thinks everyone else will think more highly of her if she says she values those things.

All of those ideals embody the most selfish, toxic, and self-defeating ideas that we all carry to some degree as a result of this capitalist, consumerist culture we exist within. To see someone claim to believe every single one so unconditionally is wild to me.

I see nothing in there about friendship, love, or community, or finding satisfaction in struggle, or good health, or humility, or responsibility, or charity.
