When I said I want to relate to The Secret History, I didn’t mean Henry’s headaches and the urge to murder people. I just want a pretentious friend group that studies a foreign language

Hey, I love you, but my pride is wounded , so I let you lead my army into battle, and then you ultimately die—though you were a great warrior—and I go mad. My grief and rage overwhelm me that I fight a river god to kill Hector and drag his body through Troy. I refuse to bury your dead body because I never imagined you would leave me first. But yeah, I still love you. Philtatos.

When the trope is enthusiastic extrovert with unsupportive family and a devastating ending, and a silent introvert who ends up being the complete opposite AND alone.
Unfortunately, I thrive on this.

Do you get insanely anxious and feel a pit in your stomach all summer for no apparent reason at all, or are you normal?
