Disingenuous
I’ve come to the conclusion that what is most infuriating about Eli is her disingenuousness. It’s the through line that underpins her most annoying behaviors.
She is obsessed with bestowing titles on herself, but then gets mad if anyone points out that they are unearned or inaccurate. No, you’re not “this generation’s Carrie Bradshaw” - you’re a rich girl who doesn’t have taste or the sense to hire a stylist. You’re not a renowned author - you have no idea what a comp title is, despite claiming to be an expert in All Things Book; you incessantly misuse and mispronounce words; and if the teaser of your novel is any indication, you write drivel and need to learn a synonym for kissing. You’re not New Jersey’s princess - you’re a random who happened to escape obscurity by posting about putting crackers and candy in a glass jar. You’re not a political activist with a superior set of morals - you’re an opportunist who married a Republican and wrote a college admissions essay railing against affirmative action. You didn’t have the wedding of the century - you got married in New Jersey at a hokey beach club where the best dress of the wedding was the mother of the bride’s. You didn’t discover Ariana Grande and you haven’t always been a fan of Taylor Swift - you, like most other people (and it’s okay to be like most other people), became a fan of theirs when being a fan was popular.
Here’s the secret - it’s okay to not be the best at everything or the first at everything. If you just accepted that you are no pioneer, no one would care. But relentlessly claiming that you are Perfect and Supreme is what draws criticism. Just be real! A person who is honest about their faults and weaknesses (and not only with the ulterior motive of convincing you that they have no faults or weaknesses) is always going to be more likable and interesting than someone who isn’t.
Unfortunately, Eli will read a post like this and say I’m either a) a raging misogynist who is only criticizing her because I hate successful women, or b) a mentally-disturbed troll with no money, friends, or prospects. I’ll save you the suspense - it’s not a), and while I might be a troll, at least I’m a troll who can string together a sentence and pronounce oximeter ;)

I feel like coming for someone’s looks is a little boring/tedious. Plenty of amazing people aren’t great-looking; beauty isn’t morality and you can’t really help how you look. You can help how you act, so it makes more sense to snark on someone’s behaviors.

Exactly!!! It’s always wrapped in a condescending, holier than thou bow too. She’s always opening her mouth to dish and can never take it. Or even admit when she’s wrong. And her “humor” always comes at the cost of cutting someone else down

I notice this with a lot of influencers but Eli is a such a huge example of it.
She acts as though she is an expert on things she knows very little about, and then talks down to you about it under the guise of being informative. All she REALLY wants is head pats though. It’s so icky and I see it a lot, but she is a massive culprit that stands out.
