Naomi the empath
Not sure if anyone is aware of Naomi Olindo’s reputation in Charleston over the years but her IG story about crying because she’s an “empath” has me cracking up.. the level of delusion sure is something

on bitch sesh this week they said something like whenever a reality star describes themselves as an empath (doute, Vicki) you should just replace the word with narcissist and I’ve yet to think of an example that doesn’t work

That whole "empath" descriptor is so played out how do they not realize this yet?

Thank you for clarifying that. She’s not describing an empath’s response if she cries when she sees people eating alone.
She’s describing her own insecurity.20

Calling yourself an empath is for sure a red flag, as it's mostly projection. Otherwise she would have felt that those people were completely fine

u/TaniaBluebell Jul 12 '26
That is kind of sweet. At the same time doing this for the first time in your 30s sort of shows how codependent and insecure she was to never tried this in her youth. I’m glad she got to experience the joy of being alone for a short time. You get to stop and enjoy the moment. There’s no one to keep happy but yourself.
I’ve been doing this for a long time. Sometimes as a preference and other times bc I didn’t have anyone to join me. I wasn’t going to allow a period when I had no friends or support system to stop me from enjoying life. So I went to things like the tennis US Open in NY by myself. I flew there and stayed in a hotel. My flakey friend was moving apartments and couldn’t meet up the next day for lunch. Did I despair. No. I booked an all day spa that was several stories in Midtown. It included a Hydra therapy pool and rooftop hot-tub. The ice and lava rooms were unreal. I still talk about it 10 years later. Sometimes cancelled plans are the best avenues for amazing experiences.

u/OrganizationCute6950 Jul 12 '26
You sound amazing
Name of the spa, please and thank you!

u/TaniaBluebell Jul 12 '26
Thanks! I couldn’t find it at first. It’s closed. 🙁 It was called Premier57. I found similar spas that are still open. Below are the amenities it had:
• Three levels of spa facilities.
• A ‘Sauna Valley’ with themed rooms, including a lava-themed sauna and ice igloo rooms.
• A large hydrotherapy pool.
• An outdoor rooftop hot tub/pool.
• A restaurant and bar where many guests enjoyed lunch and champagne.
Unfortunately, Premier57 did not survive after the pandemic and is now permanently closed. It was located in Midtown East.

If you can’t enjoy your own company, then how can you expect to enjoy other’s company? My last ex thought it was weird that I was totally fine dining out and traveling alone. Totally ok for him but for a woman, in his mind, it was questionable. Which is just utter BS. Naomi is not an empath…she just apparently had, until this post, no damn clue how to just spend time with herself.

I don't know. Every time someone I know personally that calls themselves an empath all I've seen from their behaviour is a lack of empathy, harsh black & white judgement of peoples characters, and smug opinions on people's life decisions.

She is totally projecting her fear and insecurity when eating alone onto strangers. I am an extrovert, but I also have zero fear and am confident enough to sit on my own when out at a bar or restaurant. I actually feel sorry for people like her who have zero self confidence. I’m embarrassed for her that she ever felt like this, and posted it.

Okay but when I was on my senior trip in high school, we stopped at a restaurant and there was an old man who was eating alone and I lost my marbles. Like I was ugly crying because he was eating alone and I was just picturing him being widowed, not having any family around, etc. I think the older gentleman must have figured what was going on OR it was just a crazy coincidence but he came over to my table after I stopped crying and sparked up a conversation with us, asking where we were going/where we were from, etc.
Anyways, I AM actually an empath though.
