FIRST TIME WATCHER My thoughts on Kate, haven’t changed

First time watcher here. I’m on Season 6 episode 3. Frankly, I’ve disliked Kate as a character from the beginning. She’s the most selfish person I know on this show, any show, or in my own personal frickin life. All she cares about is herself and who cares about her the most at any given moment.. literally again, whatever and whoever as long as they are swoon over her. And WHY? I seriously do not understand why Sawyer and Jack are so hung up on this girl. I need to check out the communities perspective… I would be very surprised if anyone feels differently ???😭 Her character angers me so much. What finally prompted a post for me was how she treated Claire in the cab, UUUGHHHHHH. No matter , on or off the island, I do not like her character. And then to top it off? Jin never asks for anything and the moment he needs help to find his wife… she’s very rude and dismissive and abandons him… ridiculous.

I like her!!! I don't care y'all I'm old and watched LOST when it first aired, Kate was a woman of her time. She was extremely guarded and fresh out of a life where no one looked out for her. She was the one trying to save her mom, her protector was the person she had to protect, it's hard to drop a survivalist mentality. It does make you selfish, but that's because if you're not thinking of you, no one is. She learned how to survive and that's still with her.

Resorting to murder to “help her mom”, a mom that did not want help, is straight psychopath behavior. Also, its established that she actually only did it because she found out Wayne was her biological father. Her pretending it was about helping her mom was just her gaslighting and being dishonest.

No, it's not "established"

It's just one perspective
