has exponentially formed into these thought leading, enlightened beings that make you feel horrible about yourself.
I would say the Underminer is either a female or a gay male.
Yep. But there are, in my experience now, I mean, you know, parents can be Underminers. Kids can be Underminers. There's other types of Undermining, especially among mothers with each other. Talk to me. Talk to me.
About Mother Mining.
I mean, I just noticed that, you know, of course, this is like as I've aged, I've seen different phases of it. And then, you know, when all my lady friends had their kids and and, you know, they're they would come back from the playground or something. And, you know, their kid would have been, you know, like, is there something wrong with your child or like your child has a cough or something?
Is everything okay? You know, there's this level of concern you can really pull out of somebody. I mean, a level of concern you can show to somebody to make them feel terrible about their decisions, especially in the playground.
Oh, well, my favorite one is my friend whose mother said to her, do you still like your new haircut? Which is just sort of... Just like the perfect undermining line. It's just the still is really the dagger in that sentence. You know, I think when it comes to parents, they don't really know that they're doing it very often. But, you know.
Yeah, you're probably right. You're probably right.
Well, in The Underminer, there are three different types of people. There's the spashtas, vashtas, and wishtas. And The Underminer is like, you know, a spashta is like my boyfriend, you know, strong, manly, you know, trustworthy. Vashtas, like me, are naturally thin, sort of healthy, have problems with their hands a little bit.
Wishtas are larger people who have problems with depression and bad skin. And, you know, maybe you're a wishta. You know, that's kind of like the way that it can happen perfectly in enlightened circles where you can divide people into these different types of people. And there's always one that's just more the loser type. You know what I mean?
It's like I'm a Gemini, and I can't tell you how many times in the astrology world people are like, oh, no, I'm so sorry you're a Gemini. And I remember one time an underminer friend of mine was just like, your Venus is an Aries. I'm so sorry.
I'm obsessed with her whole sub stack thing that got... You know what happened with her in Substack?
Well, this is very Underminey, but it's almost like an Underminer army. Glennon Doyle was going on Substack to start a, you know, she's huge. She's a giant thinker and thought leader in person. And then all these women, mostly women, kind of ganged up on her and said, like, how dare you take over? How are we going to find our voice now that Glennon Doyle is here, you know?
And a lot of the comments would be like, I like Glennon Doyle, but I just feel bad that she's, you know, ruining my time here at Substack and like ruining my career. So and then Glennon Doyle was like, I'm out. And she just like left Substack after like five days.
I have to find the right astrologist, I suppose.
Congratulations. Yes, I have heard.
Yeah. To some people, I've been like, oh, hello, Underminer. Please feel free to use the word to claim it. To other people. But, you know, one thing that I really want to warn people about is never say, like, I got all my Underminers out of my life. I got toxic people out of my life because that is such an Underminer thing to say.
Yeah.
because it makes you sound superior. Like you have a better group of friends or something, or you just don't have any problems with your, your shining, wonderful friends who are all, you know, beautiful and exercise a lot or something. So you, you just have to kind of like be sly about it and just be like, Oh, okay. Wow. Cool. I mean, you know, I'm still friends with my underminer and,
And when I wrote the Underminer book, he undermined me in a meta way. It was just like, I guess the Underminer is like the most successful thing you've ever done. Stop it.
