With an attitude like yours you have will no trouble finding fault with anyone you encounter.
I don’t get the impression she was looking for attention at all, I get the impression she was frightened and concerned about the woman she heard. You know nothing about this woman and her texting habits etc. Looking at the stories of her life I can see no need for her to be a drama queen. There are people that believe they should step up to the plate and try and help she seems to have been one of them.
I am sorry you have had experiences that have lead you to think the worst of people without any actual factual basis.
Lol...I know enough to know she earned a living shilling new age spiritual quackery to curious/insecure rubes and was quite willing to part them from their paychecks in exchange for some meditative lessons on self awareness in an exotic location.
Her texting habits I learned about from a link you provided...go figure.
