he says i hate everyone except you and that is addictive and that is kind of romantic and beautiful because you're young and you're kind of a sarcastic asshole too and you don't like bad boys, per say, but you don't really like good ones either. and you like that you were the exception, it felt like winning.
except life is not a romance book, and he was kind of being honest. he doesn't learn to be nice to your friends. he only tolerates your family. you have to beg him to come with you to birthday parties, he complains the whole time. you want to go on a date but - people are often there, wherever you're going. he's just so angry. about everything, is the thing. in the romance book, doesn't he eventually soften? can't you teach him, through your own sense of whimsy and comfort?
at first - you know introverts often need smaller friend groups, and honestly, you're fine staying at home too. you like the small, tidy life you occupy. you're not going to punish him for his personality type.
except: he really does hate everyone but you. which means he doesn't get along with his therapist. which means he has no one to talk to except for you. which means you take care of him constantly, since he otherwise has no one. which means you sometimes have to apologize for him. which means he keeps you home from seeing your friends because he hates them. you're the single exception.
about a decade from this experience, you'll type into google: how to know if a relationship is codependent.
he wraps an arm around you. i hate everyone except you. these days, you're learning what he's actually confessing is i have very little practice being kind.

offtopic but yknow, i really don't get the people of r/glassanimals.
i really understand the frustration and how criticism is critical when it comes to improving art. heck, despite i'm a "Dreamland girlie" myself i still think their best works were somewhere in ZABA or HTBAHB. so it's understandable for people to think how it's such a downgrade for Glass Animals to switch into pop by their third album, which in a way alienates those who seek for different sounds.
but here's the thing; just bc the sounds tackle pop genre doesn't make it any less meaningful. some of the lyrics in Dreamland were as deep and haunting at times such as Helium and the conversation in Melon and the Coconut were as comparable to some songs in HTBAHB. like it really makes you wonder what's happening between them.
people also had been "ripping apart" the new ILYSFM album despite there were only two songs came out so far and lots of people have been displaying disappointment towards those. yeah, i can see it's a bit straightforward when it comes to the lyrics department and it has the same "pop" problem it shares with the entirety of Dreamland. but, again, are people there like... too lazy to analyze those songs? or maybe i am over analyzing it bc those songs just happen to also collide with another fixation of mine?
the point is, just bc the recent songs tackle the "pop" genre doesn't mean it lacks values or meaning. but bc it tackles such over saturated genre, it's hard to delve deep into its meaning when the first thought that pops out of ur mind after listening to their new songs were "man Glass Animals really sounded generic ever since Heat Waves blew up"

man that reminds me i still like, think of the first time i ever heard ghost and how it was like a fucking switch flipped in me. i quite literally had to pause after hearing 5 SECONDS of the first song i’d ever heard by them (square hammer) to go scream about it to someone and in that moment i knew i would become obsessed w them, before i even heard SHIT. it was actually kinda wild. ghost my fucking beloved.

I think I know what you want me to do
Tell me again, I get a little confused
But I can't be wrong (Ooh, not about this)
I fell to the bottom and you found me there
Broken and blue and you gave me air
I can't be wrong
Ooh not about this, no
