YMMV / The Circle (2013)

• Diagnosed by the Audience: Mae is implied to develop some kind of mental condition over the course of the book. The further she slides into the Circle's mindset of being connected to everyone at all times, the less she can handle being alone or talking to people whose opinions differ from hers. It gets so bad that she describes her feelings of dissatisfaction as a screaming white void inside her body that can only be silenced by interacting with her followers. She also becomes unable to communicate with people who disagree with her, immediately turning to extreme verbal abuse and insults whenever her conversation partner says something she doesn't like.
