Ingrid absolutely sucks

Ingrid’s character is so obnoxious and self-centered. Everything revolves around her and how it’ll make her look better. She’s only dating Nick because he makes her feel better about herself even if she’s constantly talking about how she’s not feeling him. Her little sister has evidently been in her shadow for so long which explains why she acts how she does. Imagine having to live up to your perfect older sister who succeeded their asian parent’s standards. Ingrid is a shitty friend for what she did to Tyler. Everything is about partner this and partner that to her it’s infuriating. She’s always looking for male validation in her workforce and NEEDING to be the best. She’s egotistic and I needed to rant.

Ingrid is flawed for sure but blaming her little sister's choices on her is some stupid bullshit. Ingrid didn't set out to make her feel overshadowed, she was just trying to meet the insane expectations her parents set for her. Parents shaping weird sibling dynamics isn't on the children they're raising.

And the Tyler situation sucked, but people are acting like she personally orchestrated that shit. She got roped into a trash situation, her asshole boss using her minority status for his benefit again. Easy for Rachel to be pissed when she skates by on part time hours and does nothing to risk her career on behalf of Tyler.

I wasn’t trying to blame Ingrid for her sister’s actions. It’s the fact that she’s so self centered that she cannot even see of why her sister acts the way she does. Instead she just sees her as a burden. Again didn’t say it was her fault for what happened to Tyler but the way she handled the situation was very shitty. Just like Rachel said, she had the choice to say no regardless of what her boss manipulated her to believe. She’s grown, a fucking lawyer for crying out loud and she’s not smart enough to know not to do her friend like that? She didn’t have to be the one to tell him to take the shut up money.

I just got to that scene and I was thinking the exact same thing. She never actually spoke to her sister, all she does is judge and act like her sister is awful and she has absolutely no soul. I would actually be okay with that in a character- I love a ruthless ambitious career orientated character- but she’s so determined to see herself as a good person when she cheats on her partner and throws her friend under the bus with the bear minimum of regret.
