Sally’s Lack of Self Awareness

[bronxgal]

I nearly spit out my water today. Her question to Kyle vat the end of today’s show reveals a total lack of self awareness.

She first asked Theo to find out who was in line for the job at JVC so she could take them down. She is the one who involved Tara in her vendetta. She just lied to Jack.

Yet it’s everyone else’s fault that people don’t trust her?

The sad thing is she is apparently talented and good at what she does, but thinks she can only get ahead by scheming.

I don’t care if she grew up working class poor. So did Amanda and she doesn’t result to scheming and lying to get her way.

Unfortunately this is Sally. Instead of just being honest about what she’s done she’s just digging herself in deeper. .

bronxgal — Me too! All the things happening to Sally; especially with Jack are due to her own lies. And her co-conspirator keeps throwing her under the bus to Jack and Kyle. Tara tries to tag Phyllis but it always comes back to Sally’s drama with Phyllis being the source of her current problems.

Very good post. Sally definitely is her own worse enemy. She brings all her troubles on herself. I agree that Sally is good at what she does and doesn't need to scheme, lie and manipulate to get ahead, but she does just that which ends up screwing her over in the end. When will Sally learn from her mistakes

[Rubythroat1]

I have a theory. Sally is very self aware. She just believes no one else is as smart as she is. Darn-foiled again! That is how she views the people around her.
Men are just like new puppies in a basket. Give them food, treats and a new toy, and off you go! They have unconditional love for you. As long as they get a walk
and a pat on the head, (Oh, and good sex) You are made!

During her conversations with Phyllis, she did act as if she had been targeted without provocation and just could not understand what Phyllis' problem is concerning her. She is either lacking in self awareness or she's a slick con. She ran to Tara and has done whatever else she needs to do to cover herself. Rubythroat may have a good point that it's simply that she thinks she's smarter than everyone else. There's an arrogance about her.

Phyllis gave Sally a get of out trouble card free twice, not once but twice. Sally was to vindictive and too stupid to take it.

[DallasGal]

Right! Sally is too stupid to know when to just give it up. She keeps doubling down on the lies. Plus, I am sick of her whining that Phyllis is trying to ruin her life. Sally is ruining her own life. Just as the same comments that Summer chose to leave Sally has chosen to lie. Her choice.

[Restless soap]

She actually believes she's a victim regardless of everything she's done and is still doing. She believes are actions against others are justified as long she gets what she wants but no one should fight back. Her self entitlement knows no boundaries.

I want to like her, but the way she's pulling this "don't you see I'm a victim?? everyone mistrusts me and I've done NOTHING WRONG!!!!" knowing that she's guilty just makes her seem irredeemable. Nothing she can say once she's caught will make any difference, she's played the victim and gaslit people too many times, how am I ever supposed to take her apologies seriously?

[Guest]

Phyllis gave Sally at get out trouble card free twice, not once but twice. Sally was to vindictive and too stupid to take it.

I personally believe that she meant it, too. If Sally had turned on Tara, Phyllis would have teamed up with her no questions asked. She still wouldn't like her, but that was a good faith gesture.

[KendallSam]

I saw that too and really really wanted Sally to come clean.

That was the road to redemption (Phyllis would have went to bat for her after that).

Even if Sally would have told Jack the entire truth… but she lied, again.

I bet Tara “confesses” that big bully Sally “MADE” her do things she didn’t want to. (When busted of course).

This is a good theory. Young and arrogant she thinks she can maneuver everyone.

[henyvo02]

Yes i think you are right she is young and arrogant and thinks she is smarter then anyone else just like a lot of people that age nowadays

[guichard]

There was no reason to lie to Jack , the text didn't reveal anything. She could easily have said , she doesn't know what it is about

[Mariko]

That is what she said originally, She didn't know what it was about, because it didn't come from her.

[DallasGal]

Mariko

Jack asked her what the text said.
Sally told Jack she never saw the text.
Jack pulled out the video of Sally clearly looking at the text. She tried to recover by saying she saw it quickly but didn’t read the words.

[Retiredmom]

Lack of self-awareness can you say Phyllis???? Her judging of Sally and Tara and her KID, guess only Phyllis’ children’s welfare has always trumped every other child. Just as Cricket or Sharon I’m anyone that has gotten in Phyllis’ way to succeed and have power remember how excited she was to be the “power couple” of Genoa city. The most hypocritical character I FF the self righteous conniver

[henyvo02]

So what ever Phyllis is or has done gives Sally free rein to do what ever she wants

[bronxgal]

I would say Phyllis now is very self aware. She knows how she is perceived and knows her actions push the boundaries. Look at her scenes with Jack, she owns every part of herself especially the messy parts.

Yeah Sally sure was too dumb or vindictive to take the tiny olive branch Phyllis was offering her I mean she honestly thinks she’s going to get away with all this .... it’s so funny it’s almost sad and pathetic at this point to see Sally continue to be her own worst enemy. Sally is setting herself up for an even bigger fall in the end with ONLY herself to blame!

[MalixM]

Sally is unlikeable ! At least Adam admits he does wrong things Sally always blames others for her lies and manipulations! If she truly loved jack she would never connive against his family or son! Sally needs to be humbled alone and work back from the bottom and stop her lied
