I really appreciate Adrienne's honesty in this situation. It's like imposter syndrome and many people deal with it. Feeling like you are faking it and that you don't belong even though you have earned a seat at the table.

Yep, I'm not even a celebrity & feel that way I remember a few weeks back me & my siblings were looking for something in the shopping center but couldn't find it the cashiers always rolled their eyes which made me feel guilty & one of the ladies called us 360 because we were going around the shop it's so annoying.🙄

Good for Adrienne. That’s growth. Adrienne was really lacking in the empathy department, where if it was something she couldn’t relate to, she would act like it flat out didn’t make sense. It wasn’t, “I feel this, but I can see why you feel that”. It was “I feel this, and I can’t fathom why you would ever feel that”. I’m looking at you “Sexless Marriage” Convo.

@@allisonjones1585 Acknowledging that another women has flaws and applauding her for addressing them and improving herself is NOT bringing women down. It is in fact the opposite. We all have them. And we didn’t MAKE Adrienne’s words into anything. They are, what she intended them to be. And this is something that she admits she’s working on. So why are you so offended that (1.) you think it’s a bad thing that we as women can hold each other accountable and (2.) that we can accept that we’re not perfect, and only hope that we’re humble and open minded enough to change the things we can. What part of that compelled you to accuse me of bringing women down and why are you speaking for all women? The irony is that the only person bringing women down here, is you.

[@glamorousshayla]

But what does her sharing her personal experience/feelings in this video relate to her not relating to something that doesn’t apply to her, “sexless marriage” convo. I don’t see what the need of coming for her for her thoughts/opinions. She’s paid for that. She doesn’t have to accept urs.

[@jeffrivera3612]

I missed this show being this way. Everything still feels authentic. Yes, I miss Tamera, but garcelle fits right in, her energy is so positive. Her being there doesn’t seem forced and you can tell off camera they are building a relationship with her. I honestly didn’t watch last season, the set up was horrible. Also y’all need to understand the ladies aren’t in their 20s and early 30s anymore. When this show started Adrienne was 29 now she’s 37. Loni was 42 and now she’s 50, and Jeannie was 34 and now she’s 42. They are getting older so although we still get the fun lighthearted topics, I’m sure they will want to talk about more serious issues as the show Progresses.

[@etherealgirl394]

Adrienne is so right about childhood traumas. I was a very cheerful and an extrovert child but when I was 6 years old my classmates started bullying me. I felt like I didn't belong, like I was alone. So then I changed to a different high school and I got bullied again by a boy (thank God my teachers handled it like champions and he never bothered me again) but the wounds are still here and I'm about to be 25. I finished college, I have a small but real group of friends, I know I can do a lot of things by myself, but the minute I'm surrounded by people I get that awful feeling again. I'm trying to work on my self esteem but it's not easy. Guys, be kind to one another always, and if you see someone in school or at the work place having trouble to fit in don't hesitate on giving them a helping hand. You never know, maybe there's a hidden gem of a friend in them :)
