      Interesting. The sad truth is that everyone has a story and you have to be careful who to choose about relating your own story in return. I thought everyone when in pain when keeping it to themselves about how much pain they are in have valid pain. For example if HEAD was trying to teach how to knit or whatever too at a real meet up for knitters that she had lost a fiance too once while on Zoom however it wasn't on the same day as 9/11 only it was someone else there on Zoom too jumping to conclusion at the time instead and then spreading that way of misconstruing what HEAD said may have meant at the time when becoming more bitter all the time about not getting as much insurance money needed too?

      Aw man…that’s unfortunate. I feel really twisted up by this situation. I actually feel really bad for her ☹️
      Edit: I’m receiving a lot of really negative and emotionally charged comments in response to this comment. I’ll try to quantify my position.
      First let me say that I’m not defending the woman who was the subject of this video. ‘I feel bad for her’ isn’t my saying, geez I wish she hadn’t been fired or I wish everyone would give her a break. I think she sounds like a sick manipulative person.
      I explained in a couple of my responses to other commenters that, upon a little introspection, the reason I felt so disturbed and ‘twisted up’ and creepy crawly about this woman’s story is that she uncannily reminds me of someone I know. Lots of people like to joke that their mother in law is a terrible person, but mine is genuinely a monster. That’s who this woman reminds me of. She even looks like her. She manipulates money and actions out of everyone from family and friends to charities and actual government agencies. She has Münchausen syndrome. In addition, she physically abused my husband and his little brother until they were removed from her custody when he was 12. He had no contact with her until he was an adult. He would back away from her and then hear she was alone and broke again and feel bad and reach out. This happened a few times, but she’s now completely been cut out of his life. It’s for the best. Knowing what she had done to him, and what she continues to do to others, I hated her. Truly deeply hated her. Having had to live with these thoughts over the years, and with knowing peripherally of her continued grifting and manipulation, my hate was replaced by contempt. That contempt has somewhat cooled to pity. Yes I feel bad for the woman in the video, just like I feel bad for my husband’s mother. I find myself asking what must it be like to be them and sit alone with your thoughts? What do you think when you look in the mirror? Do you have friends? Do they know what you are? Does your word mean anything to anyone? My mother in law will die alone and in abject poverty, uncomfortable, maybe actually unwell, maybe hungry, maybe deeply regretting her actions, and with no one to sooth her self inflicted emotional pain. She deserves to. I pity her, I don’t hate her anymore. I imagine this woman will have a similar story. Deservedly alone, with no one and with nothing.

At my other friends bday party she cried and made us leave early because she was drugged and raped a month ago, except she wasn’t. She also said her life was so hard because white people were racist to her and demeaned her. Also not true because when I asked her for details I remember these situations and most of the time people treated her much better than me because she is beautiful. Oh and all of my boyfriends hit on her, also not true because she was hitting on them. Ugh I could go on. Good luck to everyone dealing with manipulators.

      People who pretend to have something like cancer or any disease should have to take that disease away from someone who doesn’t deserve to have it. I mean idk I don’t want anyone to have to experience such a thing. But it takes a special kind of asshole to pretend to have a serious sickness that has destroyed so many lives, just for their own sick pleasure IE sympathy comments and likes/views. It’s a real problem, I can’t believe some of the posts I come across that have a “cancersucks” hashtag or whatever the trendy one is, and the photos are so blatantly photoshopped or whatever the case may be how they’re pointed out to be a fraud.
      I don’t ever want to jump to such a conclusion about a person because what if I’m wrong and they DO have cancer and here I am trying to say they’re lying, so I now just see them in videos here on YT where the creator took the time to verify it is a liar and not an actual cancer sufferer.

    I was the victim of a violent crime when I was 11 years old. I'm not sure why, but throughout my life people have asked me about it and then implied I was exagerating or it never happened. In school kids would ask me about the scars and I would explain and they'd tell me that I was lying. I agree that it's good to be skeptical but conversations like that made me feel more isolated and strange.
    Recently I was pepper sprayed by a shoplifter. The attack was completely unprovoked. Several people questioned me and I realized they were thinking I must have caused it somehow. I didn't. I was opening a door. When we question people who've been hurt by others we need to be careful and try not to add to their troubles.

    I think she started lying because she has low self esteem and over the years, her lies became bigger and bigger. I remember when I was in elementary school, our teacher would ask us at the beginning of every school year what we've done during the summer break. All of the other kids were talking about their amazing hollidays, the places they've visited, but my family was dirt poor and I was sitting all summer at home doing nothing. At the first year, I was being honest, and the whole class became silent and looked at me with pitty. From then on, I started making up stories about my hollidays every year. So I kind of understand how ppl start to become liars. Though, I would have never done something so extreme as her, of course.

Got accused of a terrible sex murder (which I didn’t commit as I was at work at the time), and had to my embarrassment homicide detectives swarm all over my workplace. It caused something of a sensation. After that no matter what I said it was either believed or accepted as a matter of fact. It occurred to me I could have said I played Chinese chess with President Xi Jinping and probably got away with it. *
      * They never caught the murderer but police claimed the offender was a near genius, this amused my workmates no end for this was something I’ve never been accused of.

      @CRAM MARC Thanks for your sympathy on this and kind words. I did learn that one didn’t have to do anything to become a criminal suspect. In my case my then girlfriend’s little (adult) sister just happened to look a bit like the victim who had been kidnapped. That plus a $1 million dollar reward got my neighbours a bit excited. When the dust settled and things got back to normal it did give me something to talk about at parties. And surprisingly it actually improved my social life.

All is going well and you finally get the courage to go meet other survivors, AND THIS WOMAN comes out of nowhere and makes you feel like your experience was insignificant.

    Thank you for discussing this woman. I saw the documentary about her, and was stunned when I saw how she purposefully used and manipulated people. At one point, she claimed that a young man (with a red bandanna) helped her as she tried to escape. He didn’t make it out, but she did. She even went so far as to meet with the young man’s mother, and share their encounter. It was such a cruel thing to do to that mother. It came out that she had lied to that grieving mother about her son. I don’t understand any of that. Such cruelty and such manipulation…and then the fallout afterwards. Narcissism has a profoundly evil element to it.

    I'm no hero- I just happened to be in a place & time where something unimaginably horrific occured. It's nothing to brag about...in fact, I'd give just about anything to have NOT been there and seen things which are now branded into my memory. I only talk about my experience on 9/11 to close friends, family...and of course my therapist.

    In my experience the people that have truly suffered severe trauma don’t like to talk about it. Talk to old former POWs, adults who survived horrific childhoods, and the like and they’re generally not keen on discussing their experience. It’s not a “bragging point” or Red Badge of Courage for them. It’s simply a traumatic experience that they struggled to survive and they’ve now put it behind them.
    People like the woman in this story are no better than those Stolen Valor creeps who falsely claim veteran status.

      I talk about my experience at the WTC on 9/11 mostly with my students, as I do a little memorial each year on the date. It is mainly to keep the event alive in their memory as Pearl Harbor was when I was young, and also as a way to release some of the emotions that come back up every year at this time. I certainly don't brag about it, or look at it as a positive of any kind. But I cannot ignore or forget what I experienced.

      Absolutely true. I'm a victim of three kinds of abuse one as a child and two as an adult and I can talk about them in a safe environment (family members, mental health professionals) but I feel I wouldn't be able to do it the way this woman did. Sometimes the most insignificant feedback can trigger painful memories or change your mood. Even when I believe I had to use my voice to encourage other victims and went commenting in some youtube videos about my trauma and found that mean comments triggered me so I stopped. So, yeah… if a person seems this ok about sharing that much it's definitely fishy.

    On a serious note, I saw that documentary, and it really floored me. The interviews with some of the people Head connected with showed a range of reactions - from disbelief, to feeling sorry for her, to being angry with her. The depth of pain and suffering these unfortunate people experienced on 9/11 was awful. But to have someone lie right to their face about being "one of them" has to infuriate those who experienced such devastation for real. Doctor, I think your analysis was spot on.

    Because of that, he’s gone out of his way to point out stolen valor(“you there on d day?these were the troops that landed on the beach, what division were you, platoon, etc”type of questions) He’s not a vet, he’s never served, but hearing all those stories, especially when he was young, seriously impacted him, even to this day. He’s never wanted to be a war hero, or serve, because of the horrifying stories he’s collected, but he’s damn sure to pay his respects every time he talks about the old men.

    The first time I ever saw this woman on TV, it was immediately obvious that she was lying because she isn't burned. A person who really experienced what she said she did, would be covered from head to toe with burns and their face would be severely disfigured by it. Her face looks totally fine. How the hell could anyone not know she was lying? I mean, she did say that she had some burns, and I don't know if she wore compression bandages or anything, but she also said that she was high up near the impact zone, right in the middle of the fire. There's no way a person could survive that without visible burns to their face. If she was really there, she would've needed a face transplant and probably gotten one eventually. Didn't anyone wonder why she wasn't burned in more places besides just her arm and back?

    When I was 11, I bought a wallet with my birthday money and the wallet came with a picture of a cute boy in it. I told my friends he was my boyfriend and had a 4-door Corvette. One of my friends asked me his name and I drew a blank but then a commercial truck with the name, Nelson drove by and just like that, I named him Nelson. They fell for it. 60 years later, I still remember Nelson with fondness.

    I didn't know what to expect when I clicked on this as I'm not even close to psychology and I certainly did not expect a professionally thought through analysis by an actual Dr., but I highly enjoyed these insights. It improved my own capability of analyzing people. Thank you for your time and effort

      I agree. Well also because 90% of the news is basically editorials. Not fact based and not simply reporting. Doesn’t matter what one watches. It’s ridiculous. I, too, get my news from Dr Grande and some others here on UA-cam.
