We are living in strange times indeed when 10 pages of calling a little girl names on social media is considered "internal." No wonder people are using Chat-GPT as a therapist. They think the internet is the inside of their own head, evidently.
Were the thoughts expressed to the girl and her grandfather? No, she’s just venting anonymously online after the fact. People are allowed to be irritated about things and be imperfect. I don’t see what the big deal is.
The big deal is that her reaction to the interaction she described is miserly, outsized, and not at all the norm for how to behave in a community setting, and that she's
not saying she's imperfect for being irritated, she's doubling and tripling down on the idea that everyone but her has terrible manners and is raising bad children. According to her the girl is obnoxious and demanding and a brat, all based on trying to play with another kid at a community pool and then asking to borrow a toy when she got kicked out mid-game by an adult.
Let's leave aside treating not expressing her thoughts to the girl or her grandfather as a virtue, in a post where she rants against people refusing to "stand up" to their kids. She's unlikeable enough without bringing in the hypocrisy.
