I’ve no idea who Claire Lehmann is, but she’s exactly the type of person I have avoided since high school. She obviously affirms herself through groupthink and shuns free-thinkers and needs to appeal to “popularity” to validate her opinions. As I have told my daughter, you’re better off being alone than to suffer the company of idiots and jerks whom you call “friends.”
As Jean-Paul Satre said, “If you are lonely when you’re alone, you are in bad company.” Or as Nikolai Tesla said, “Be alone, that is the secret of invention. Be alone, that is when ideas are born.” The greatest minds do not fear being alone.
I had to look up this woman’s name and apparently she has a reputation of being an Australian “Karen” journalist. Ha!
