75. When she's nodding "yes" she's being condescending
Fri Feb 19, 2016, 04:43 PM
Feb 2016

as if talking to a child. That's when it says to me, "I can put this bullshit over on you... now don't you want to nod with me, yes you do". She's hardcore selling then.

The bugged out eyes reads as stonewalling to me. "I won't tell you" whatever it is. Or "I insist that you believe what I'm saying because I'm being so dramatic". The shrugged shoulders even more stonewalling. That reads like "well then, eff off".

In the second video, she looked down the whole time she was saying she "made a mistake". I don't think she believed it was a mistake, and she hated characterizing it as one. I doubt she admits that she ever makes mistakes in other situations.

Her voice reads phony to me too, artificially loud a lot of times (not in the videos, at appearances). I'll bet she can be really surly when crossed in real life. She seems very entitled, and comes off as if anything she wants to do is A-ok by definition, just because it's what she wants.

I never really looked at it closely and thought about it specifically before, but that's how it comes across to me.
