You can tell by the reaction people have to Penelope asking Colin to kiss her whether they ever experienced being a wallflower/insecure fat girl at a party or not.
Because you say it's pathetic, I say it's relatable, no matter how desperate it may sound. If you've never had your insecurity eat you up from the inside (but also the outside, as Portia literally told Penelope that she was delusional for thinking she was gonna find a husband in her third season out) to the point you genuinely, wholeheartedly believe no one will ever love you unless you physically change, then obviously the scene is off to you.
But Pen literally told Colin she felt stupid for thinking she's gonna find a husband (she just started believing what the ton and her mother said) and that she knows no one would want to kiss her. And for a romance girl like her, do you think the thought of never having a kiss, never experiencing that passion, would be easy to bear? I can so relate to being the most romantic of the bunch but also being the loneliest and aching for physical and emotional romantic love.
She is so vulnerable and so real in that moment but y'all gotta bitch about it because it doesn't make sense to you. It doesn't make sense to me either because she's gorgeous, but that's the thing - no one ever told her she's gorgeous and actually meant it. And even if they did, there must be 10 more people who didn't that keep that insecurity in her, specifically her sisters and her mother.
Nicola said this one was for the wallflowers, and it truly is, so if you find scenes like this cringe, you just don't relate to the character enough to feel it and recall moments when you had the same thoughts as her.

My hot take is that if Roman were to "duck out" the way Virgil did in Accepting Anxiety, the result would be something akin to clinical depression. Roman has always been more than Thomas's creativity, he's also Thomas's drive, his passion, his desire. The motivation and ability to make art, or work, or even build relationships. All of that is wrapped up in Roman.
Sure, there are other motivating factors as we've seen in the videos on the topic. Logan motivates with the knowledge that work puts food on the table, Virgil motivates through fear. But Roman is the only one who motivates through love and joy, through hopes and dreams. Because while Patton is driven by emotion, he's more impulsive, more driven by what will make Thomas feel good in the moment, as opposed to Roman who while fanciful and emotional, is ultimately driven by plans and goals for the future.
Therefore, without Roman, Thomas would have no drive. No passion. No desire to make or do anything beyond base necessities for staying alive. No ability to see past immediate survival or imagine a possible happier future. No hopes and dreams. No spark. I don't even think Virgil's strongest panic could override a complete lack of passion for anything. Thomas would feel anxious and awful, but he still wouldn't be able to do anything.
And that's basically what clinical depression is. It's not just being sad--it's being exhausted, and numb, and unable to get out of bed in the morning because you just don't care about anything anymore. It's not finding joy in the things you used to love the most. It's feeling paralyzed because there are so many things you should be doing or you want to do, but you simply can't. Depression is, at its core, a lack of passion, joy, and drive.

It’s truly fascinating to see Lando contrasted with Charles, like Lando, sitting there looking completely normal: having a full meltdown over a slightly askew curl. Charles, purring: I look perfect. Lando, waking up, talking about how bad he looks, talking about how nervous he is. Meanwhile, Charles: no, I don’t feel any nerves.

While I’m talking, Cloud almost killing Tifa in Gongaga is not just a ‘would that be fucked up or what’ moment or even because Tifa has the true memories/proof to counter Sephiroth’s lies (though, that is part of it). It’s also because killing Tifa is the antithesis of who Cloud is. It’s the antithesis of the little boy who put his life on the line to save her and then dedicated his life to becoming strong enough to protect her. The antithesis of his promise to be there for her and the feelings behind it. “Cloud” and “Tifa’s killer” cannot coexist. “Cloud,” the boy defined by a desire to protect Tifa, cannot survive this. That’s why Sephiroth is trying so hard to get Cloud to kill Tifa. Sephiroth could kill her himself and that would still be majorly bad for Cloud’s true identity as he’d still lose his only tether to reality and the symbol of his conscience. But it wouldn’t be as effective as having Cloud do the honors. Sephiroth needs Cloud to kill the light in his own heart. He needs Cloud to kill his self. And there is no more definitive way than this.

Every time I struggle to understand how Gale is so arrogant and so low-self esteem at the same time I just think back to myself in middle school. Like yes his character is well-developed and multidimensional but also it is fundamentally neurodivergent mentally ill gifted kid who thinks they are so much better and smarter than everyone and everything would work better if they were in charge but also thinks that they are the worst person alive.

You mentioned being sad for multiple reasons… wanna talk about why? It’s rare that someone as incredible and magnificent as you is down…
ooc: this is going to take inspiration from a doodle I made about a smilk being very insecure
Shadow milk pauses for a second before strangely breaking out in genuine tears he tries to play off as over dramatic.
"the audience hates me! They love that pretty other me more than me the real deal! A-am I too ugly!? Is it the scars.. the freckles?? My eyelashes?? Is it my body!? Sure I gained some weight but am I too fat??!? Am I too rude!? Callous? Selfish!? I hate to admit it but I've gotten kinder is that not good enough!? Am I- am I not good enough!?! I'm a horrible performer, a terrible friend, a HORRENDOUS FATHER and master, I'm a horrible partner. Nilly should just LEAVE ME.. I keep losing everyone I open my heart to! I can't trust anyone anymore...
i-..
...."
Shadow milk realises he's....actually talking about the reasons in genuine honesty and remembering that he wasn't going to tell anyone...
His face goes blue with embarrassment.

I'll be upfront and honest, I've never done anything skin care related except for the moisturizing and cold water. Mainly bc I have the habit to neglect myself
*whole other rant for another day or maybe not
But, I want to begin now, I want to learn to take care of myself, to appreciate what I am without being so negative all the time. And I feel like if I can diminish this small habit of mine and learn to love myself by taking care of myself, I can begin to work on other more important things, and maybe discover something good.
Anyway, if anyone has any tips or a beginner's guide, I'd appreciate the help, thx for reading.

Fact not assumption you stab friends in the back and flirt with their ex’s. Selfish & insecure
Wow, what a way to feel. Would be fair if you could elaborate on this, please?
The message your words convey is that you hold serious grudges towards me that in one way or another troubles your mind, and I think clouds your perception (I'm friendly-natured, but won't flirt with friend's ex-loves. I'm not fucking disrespectful). Tell me who you are, I might know.
Shall I unfollow him, if that helps you gain more peace of mind?

One of these days I hope to get to write a thread going into Byakuya’s psyche and how damaged his perception of himself is to the point he doesn’t always think of himself as a person because he has become less of a person and more a representation of the law of soul society.
