Well I've been married twice and Nicole and Amanda can take my marriages...😄

Personal rulenof thumb since my late 20s: do not attend a church in which the congregation is 70 percent women. And I need to see a range of generations, too (for the women and men).

When I watched the Shannon Sharpe interview, the first thing I thought was... your mother over-indulged you. She was not taught discipline when speaking. She lacks mindfulness, which is such a fatal character flaw. Everyone can't be wrong about the same thing.

This hit home for me. I had been single for many years and never understood why keeping a meaningful relationship was so hard, especially since I had no problem attracting what I perceived as good quality men. Now, for the first time, I’m in a relationship where my guy is holding a mirror up to me and helping me see issues I need to address, not just to make him happy, but for my own wellbeing. All those years I thought it was them, but now I’m seeing my issues, which is empowering because I can work to fix them.

I have young nieces and nephews on the spectrum and I was put off by Amanda suddenly claiming she’s on the spectrum. I think she’s valid in her issues with Issa Rae. But bringing autism into the conversation came off like “If I’m unlikeable; it’s because I’m autistic”. I know many children and adults on the spectrum who are pleasant respectful people.

Mother always said if 10 people who don’t know each other don’t like you it’s time to start looking in the mirror. Cause it might be you

One of my classmates is like this. She is always lecturing people, has a bad attitude, has issues at work, housing, students, professors and whatever relationships she is in. She is 45. Her doesn’t want to live with her. I am 28 and this commentary is helpful because it is making me check myself to not be in the same position

I’ve been single all my life. 54 now and I know the problem is me. But it’s my looks and that’s harder to fix without surgery. Sometimes people don’t realize that it’s hard for unattractive people.

Truth, some of us can’t bare another heartache. To get married you have to put yourself out there and open up your heart.

I agree with your assessment of her not getting the discipline she needed. Her mom didn't tell her to shut up when she needed to and I'm a family and children therapist. She didn't have to beat her just tell her to be quiet. She has a savior rescue the world fighter complex bc her parents didn't do what they should have while raising her. Spot on however I do believe she's on the spectrum just a bit without me knowing or assessing her just based solely on watching her over the last decade.

Some people are allergic to hard truths about themselves

Amanda has taken her sense of humor, her talents, and her insights, and built a platform for herself that earns her a living. She has my respect.

I am guilty! Truth found me today. Now to investigate why I'm still single. . .

Excellent point! Amanda has a West Indian mom. I think that her mother just put her activities to keep her busy. It's sad that her mother didn't teach her displicine or social tact.

Amanda is abrasive and is grating on the nerves. I have never liked her and thought it was just me until her recent pity party on the internet about black gatekeepers not liking her. I was driving back home yesterday from a different city. I turned on a local hip hop/rnb station and there were two individuals talking - a man and a woman. I changed the station because 1) I wanted to hear music, not a conversation 2) the woman speaking instinctively got on my nerves despite the fact that I was listening for all of 30 seconds. I turned back to the station about 45 minutes later to find that they are still talking. That's when I realized that it was Seales, and I felt justified in my reactionary disdain for her. There is something energetic that she gives off that results in people responding to her the way they do. Like girl, the problem is YOU!

MVMO your analogy of still driving to Georgia after 26 years was very amusing and it made me giggle 😅. In all honesty, I find that some women will use their poor behavior and make themselves a martyr in their own story because they refuse to change or see where they can be better people. Unfortunately that is what Ms. Seales is doing. Thank you for always giving me something to think about, and also challenging me to grow and be a better person.

Those types of professionals works for big farma ..15 years ago I dated a guy who was prescribed medicine to cope with his divorce and he still on meds more than a decade after getting divorced and I was shocked when I learned how common is to get prescribed meds to solve people Life problems..we all have a reason to pop a 💊.. according to many of those so call professionals..

I looove your example!!! You just taught me something today! ❤

This DEFINITELY applies to Yvette Nicole Brown. Just looking at her interactions on social media, she is definitely the “It’s not my fault” and “I’m right, everyone else is wrong” mentality. Absolutely ZERO self-reflection. For an example, look at her recent involvement in the atrocious Good Times reboot. SMH
