[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cannot stand insecure Miranda. I cannot believe for a second that Harvard law corporate lawyer would be so insecure and meek about anything. She’s insufferable with the way way she gushes when the author flirts and how inferior she feels at human rights. She’d be annoying anyway but this contradiction is impossible to ignore. [/quote]

I think it's realistic when you hit middle aged and become invisible. It's hormones plus the confident adult body begins to fail. You get thicker, saggier, not as sharp.  It can be a real hit to the self esteem[/quote]

Good point. I'm feeling a lot less secure than I did just a few years ago, like I've lost my mojo.[/quote]

And Miranda's whole raison d'être evaporated too. She's basically rebuilding her identity from scratch, no longer a wife, corporate law partner, day-to-day mom. None of that is easy at mid-life but all of it at once, oof.[/quote]

Agreeing with all three PPs here. I agree that insecure Miranda is hard to watch and irritating at times (especially in the Che relationship, I hated everything about that), but I am finding it incredibly relatable, as a real life "Miranda" who had a pretty high flying corporate career but burned out and changed gears and then discovered I have NO IDEA who I am when I'm not in that job. And you can't go back to who you were before you burned out because that person was in their 30s, better looking and more desirable, and people listened to her more. Suddenly I'm a middle aged woman who people will happily dismiss as an out-of-touch Karen at the first opportunity, and I'm not longer running anything or in charge of anyone. Trying new stuff at this age, like interning in an office or picking up a new hobby? I have so much more imposter syndrome than I did in my 20s when I was too dumb to realize what I didn't know.[/quote]
