Sooo.... reading this thread clarifies the feelings I have about these fake people on a tv show. I cannot stand most people on this show honestly and sometimes as I am watching it I feel like I am punishing myself because it’s just ridiculous. But I can’t seem to look away. Lorelai is my least favorite because she treats everyone like crap and does not mother her child. Honestly though I may hate her because she reminds me of myself in some ways. I also ran away from home at 16 and like Lorelai it caused me to be completely stunted to that age for pretty much the rest of my life. I cant seem to grow up. Because of that the world seems to revolve around me cause that’s immaturity. And she’s super immature. So am I. I though can see it and she can’t seem to at all. She thinks she’s the best person in the world. Shes also my mom. Using her daughter as a confidante and sounding board which I can tell you is extremely stressful and often leads to some extreme acting out as the child feels unheard and like they are not cared for. They often say they are best friends but I think Rory is hers but she doesn’t often act like Rory’s. Her problems get swept under the rug quite often in favor of Lauralais almost endless dramas. An example is when they had the car accident and laurelai kept shouting my daughter my daughter my daughter and wouldn’t even listen to Rory. In fact she rarely hears Rory’s wants or needs like when she freaked out about gpa bringing her to Yale (which laurelai seriously needed to shut up about) Good thing she has Lane. So Rory is also me. These ladies are all my character flaws ina tv show. Which is why I get so irritated and depressed while I watch it. Im only on season three and I don’t know how much longer I can watch them relive my life but with more privilege and things magically working out and stuff. Also I really like curmudgeon Luke and Jess. And the genesis of Paris and Rory’s friendship. I like the grumpiest people.
