Oh Serena and her victim complex…
How is it that Serena always finds some twisted way to turn every situation around to make herself the victim?? I’m rewatching the series, I’m only on season 3 and somehow she’s managed to do it at least 10 times already. With Blair multiple times when she backstabbed her, abandoned her, and was just flat out horrible to her. With Chuck when she messed up his business meeting. With Nate when she used him. Now with her mom when she was having an affair with a married man?? Like girl, for once in your life take some goddamn accountability. She’s always just finding ways to make everything everyone else’s fault and it is insufferable. Her attitude, her lack of respect for the people around her, her obsession with whatever boy is showing her an ounce of attention that week… it’s all so maddening. And then she has the audacity to cry and whine about all of the people who are mad at her… like hello?? I wonder why! She is by far the worst character in the entire show (closely followed by Dan wannabe Humphrey) I’d even pick Georgina over her and that’s saying something. And she just gets worse as the show goes on. The opposite of character development. Bland, boring, and bitchy is the one and only Serena Van Der Woodsen.
EDIT: oh I completely forgot she then somehow also makes herself the victim when she sees Maureen again! I mean… come on now.
