I understand the girl lost her memories and is a little frazzled, but for crying out loud... people are trying to -help- her remember, and she's just being nasty and sullen about it and yelling at them. Then Captain Outsider comes waltzing into her room and suddenly she's all amiable and helpful.

I can understand being wary of Rumple... sure - but Ruby was nothing but sweet and kind to her and she still started flipping out. I just wanna slap her *lol* ! While I don't exactly wanna slap her I was a bit annoyed at her when she got annoyed at Ruby especially when she was all like "STOP CALLING ME THAT!" when they called her Belle. What the hell is your name then bitch?

Well, you have to put yourself in Belle's shoes. She's totally amnesiac. She doesn't know who "Belle" is and who are all these people coming to see her, and why she's in a hospital. Plus, she has the impression everyone thinks she has gone off the deep end because of her memory of the man with the fireball in his hand.

Also, we still do not know her backstory of what kind of state of mind she was in prior to the lifting of the curse. So, do not assume Belle is acting like a spoiled little brat and being nasty to everyone for no reason. All these comments about about Belle is being ungrateful and bitchy is jumping to conclusions about the assumption that Belle is being spiteful to people purposely. Look, from certain people watching the show's perspective, everyone might be "trying to help her remember", but to an amnesiac Belle, she has just witnessed something very frightening with the fireball, and the fact she is getting restrained by the nurse after talking about the story is not "help".
