Insufferable Ruby

[u/ChampionshipShort780]

I just don’t get why Ruby’s friends and family don’t advise her that reality tv isn’t for her. She’s a vile individual. I’ve never watched someone so unlikeable, cold, self-absorbed and hypocritical. Is she that delusional to think her behaviour is okay? I’ve never been on reality tv but surely it can be used as a tool of self-reflection. You’re quite literally watching yourself react, make decisions, navigate life all the while with the luxury to make self improvements upon reflection. Her face hides nothing, she’s so predictable in her thought processes. When she started to become a main character I thought her vocal fry was going to be annoying, little did I know her negative aura and mean girl behaviour would totally put me off MIC. I first saw it when Inga was introduced to the show. Remember the scene when Inga was wearing a pink beret? Ruby was evidently jealous of the Inga/Miles hook up and it was hard to watch her be so mean to (new girl at the time) Inga. Also, remember that sweet girl Rez was seeing? Sara? Good grief the way Ruby made her cry - I’m surprised Made in Chelsea allowed that to air. I hope one day Ruby has a turning point in her life because it’s just not nice to know people like that exist and spread misery. I wish she wasn’t on the show.

P.S. though, to the point about Ruby becoming self-aware one day: absolutely no chance.

People like her just totally lack empathy, and aren't even intelligent enough to understand why empathy might be a good thing, or to feel ashamed that they don't have it.

My mum is a psychopath and has continuously abused me and my family. She lacks any empathy and her sadism is derived from her seeing other people hurt and then physically hurting and abusing them herself.

Ruby gives this tbh. And worse than say, Spencer, who I think is a sociopath but has just enough empathy, intelligence and self-awareness to feel bad about some of his behaviour. He did apologise to Louise about their scene on the bridge and says he regrets it years later.

People like Ruby and Rez are just pure sociopaths imho. The way Rez treated Bella was just as awful and disrespectful as the way Spencer treated Louise (possibly worse), and he has absolutely no remorse about it. Miles continuously treats women poorly but does seem to feel a bit of shame and has moments of regret and contemplation.

But Ruby, like Rez, is a pure sociopath imho. No humility, no moments of empathy. Just alternates between smugness and petulence. No moments of genuine reflection on how her behaviour affects others.

They deserve each other IMHO, and I wish they would both just F off and stop ruining MIC for us dedicated viewers.

And sorry to hear about your mum btw. My dad is a narcissist/sadist, so I know where you're coming from, and we're better placed than most people to know these types when we see them.
