Just want to identify something that Chantal (and other lolcows) do frequently and it seems particularly relevant to the new "boo hoo I'm an aBuSe ViCtIm" bullshit she's spewing.
A help rejecting complainer (HRC) is an individual who repeatedly seeks help yet rejects any offers, advice, or resources that may solve their problem. Help rejecting is a maladaptive behavioral pattern used to seek attention, receive sympathy, play the victim, and manipulate a narrative. An HRC usually rejects any proposed solutions to their problem because (a) actually solving the issue would nullify their status as a victim or (b) the problem is false / exaggerated. HRCs tend to worry that no one will care about them without an accompanying crisis and may suffer from abandonment issues. A person who help rejects usually has a subconscious fear that they are incapable of solving their problem. These individuals tend to be self-righteous, insecure, selfish, attention seeking, and insufferable.
While Chantal demonstrates many other traits of Cluster B personality disorders, her help rejecting behavior is in full force these days as a way to control the narrative, keep her VIBers engaged, avoid responsibility, and deflect from unwanted topics (sobriety, food addiction, health, etc.). While I hope that her Very Important Beezers get wise to this help rejection bullshit, they're as dumb as a bag of hammers so all we can do is sit back and watch the show.
