We all know Chantal lies, but there is something so fascinating about how she lies.
When children hit a certain age (I think around age five?) they learn to lie in ways that are believable. Like, you realize that you can’t blame your sibling for the broken lamp in the living room when they haven’t come home from school yet. That instead, you might be able to get away with blaming the dog for it, when the dog is in the living room when you lie to your parents. It’s an important part of development to learn to appeal to logic and reasoning instead of continuously making up your own imaginary, magical world.
And yet Chantal lies about not having a sweet tooth despite having thousands of hours of video evidence of her shoveling a metric ton of sweets down her throat. Chantal lies about not liking to eat in the kitchen despite filming like half her videos there. Chantal lies about having diabetes despite having documented her sick blood sugars, being on medication for it and having to go to annual eye checkups that seem very diabetes specific. Etc.
I know this thread is full of sperging about what major malfunction Chantal has, but it’s still fascinating that she can’t do something a five year old can. Other than putting on her socks, I mean.
Why would you even attempt to lie about something that is so thoroughly documented and have been saved out of your reach forever? Couldn’t she try to lie about something else if she wants to look better than she does, or create a different narrative about her? Lying about things that have evidence to the contrary is just baffling.
Or maybe it’s just that she is such a good example of poor interpersonal and intrapersonal intelligence? That she doesn’t understand why she does what she does and why she feels like she feels and why she reacts like she reacts. And that she doesn’t understand at all why people react to her like they do. Her chimpouts really show that: She doesn’t understand why people react to her actions in a way that she imagined differently in her own magical world.
