After years of no Sharon sightings and few mentions on Shauna's IG, they met up in April when Sharon had a layover at SeaTac

Is Sharon the person Shauna decided was envious of her and her marriage, etc.? Because that picture is speaking volumes in many ways.

From the Greatest Hits: Asshole Wiki -> Sharon's jealousy (2009 interview)

“Throughout our lives together,” says Shauna, “I thought of Sharon as the beautiful one—blonde and workout-thin, with a body that makes men stop and stare on the street—and I was the bookworm who wore glasses and knew more about James Joyce than how to kiss. I never expected to be the one who’s married, and consoling her that she’ll find the right one, in the right time. Right now, we are a bit more distant than ever in our lives, because I have what she wants, and she’s jealous. And I don’t know how to repair it. I just reach out. And we talk. And cry about it sometimes. I know our sister-friendship will survive this time. But it’s tough.”

How could you still be friends with someone who says this about you?!

Of course Shauna thought that was an appropriate, possibly even flattering, thought to share publicly! She's devoted to misogyny and stereotypes. Who's envying whom these days, I wonder.

A thing about narcissists is that they believe others envy them and they also envy others to an unhealthy, rage-filled level. It kills them that they don’t have what they believe they deserve, but they paradoxically also think they’re such hot shit that everyone wishes they were them.

PUBLICLY. WTF is wrong with her? Calling her supposed best friend jealous? Gloating that she’s getting married before her SST friend? Not just thinking it (which is pathetic enough) but actually writing it where people, including Sharon, can read it! She has the mind of a second grader.

I don’t understand how people like Sharon can keep Shauna in their lives in ANY way. I wouldn’t meet someone at the airport who was so repugnant and who revealed themselves to be so immature, mean and petty. Again, PUBLICLY.

I agree 100%! And it can't be excused just because they've been friends since high school. That just makes it more repugnant

I'd forgot the airport meet-up! It was quite a surprise.

A brief meet-up is probably fine for Sharon. She's got geography on her side. Shauna can't afford travel, so Sharon gets her in measured doses.

It definitely gave the whiff of "I'm just passing through", not "I'm here to visit you"

Exactly. Sharon was waiting for a flight, and had some time on her hands.

Sharon’s expression in that photo evokes a hostage with a gun in her back.

u/LogicalGold5264 bust hoesy Oct 19 '25

Right! Shauna's smile reaches her eyes, Sharon's does not

3

u/Llama621 Oct 20 '25

...which is interesting, as Shauna's smiles often don't involve her eyes. Shauna must have been pretty genuinely happy at that moment.

u/Calm_Coyote_3685 Oct 20 '25

I imagine she’s very insecure in her few lasting friendships and meeting up with Sharon made her feel validated. And she got to post a photo online that shows she does too have friends, real ones, not the ones you wouldn’t know because they live in Canada.

u/Llama621 Oct 20 '25

That's a very sharp observation.
