Juliette

Thanks Zuff, a mouthful of water got sprayed all over myself when you said “I HATE HIM!!!!!” 😂

Not necessarily... At the start of the semester, I would be early because I didn't know the people or space, which made me anxious. But my panic attacks actually got triggered when I walked into crowded spaces or I walked into a room that felt unfamiliar or filled with emotion (like I once walked into a class, and everyone was freaking out about something, I didn't know why and it triggered a panic attack). Once I was familiar with the room and people I changed the route... if that makes sense lol there's not much logic to the madness. Basically coming in late to people I know on my own time >> walking into a crowd of people with varying emotions and conversations

I’ve always been a very punctual person because I hate being late anywhere. So while I certainly wasn’t a fan of walking into large crowds during my school days, I would’ve gone through that courtyard just to avoid my anxiety shooting through the roof at the thought of arriving late to a class. Didn’t showing up that late put you in a (similar) spotlight you were trying to avoid?

Ruby Cardozo

i always felt crazy for my lunchroom anxiety omg... my high school had this huge courtyard with the same energy and if I had a class that required me to walk through it I would fr walk through the buildings instead and get to class 5-10mins after the bell just to avoid anxiety or a panic attack ALSO new to patreon and i'm binging all the kdrama stuff you guys are killing it with content and quality imo

fr, the anxiety i got when walking into the canteen or even just sitting down in the canteen to eat with my friends was SO bad. social anxiety is a bitch fr

Tia Lily

you're absolutely right, it wasn't just a case of him struggling with his feelings but it was also just him being respectful. ik if i was asleep i wouldn't want someone just grabbing my hand lol, in nick nelson we trust🙏🏻

Megan Brick

I love Nick so much. I literally want to adopt him 🤣 I love the hand part…I think Nick is struggling with his feelings, yes, but I also think he wouldn’t ever touch anyone who was asleep, passed out, etc. It’s just not Nick

Syd

rob I totally feel you with the lunchroom anxiety. I didn’t like all of those eyes on me either. I fell with my tray once and the embarrassment still haunts me to this day.

Jazmin

had the same feeling as rob

Danielle

So cute! I’m hoping you guys will watch Derry Girls soon, it’s hilarious

Amanda

This whole show is good vibes. Yes there are some instances of anxiety or Bad Ben vibes, but ultimately, it’s happy happy stuff. Which is mostly why I love this show so, so much. (And otherwise why I love this show must wait lest I give away spoilers.)

Tia Lily

exactly, i wasn't embarrassed but instead i was just extremely confused and scared and i remember i kept getting bisexual results and it just felt like the earth was crumbling beneath my feet. i'm super open about it now but back then it was just a scary and confusing time and it was difficult to come to terms with it at first like you said and it took me years to come out after i realised, so that scene will always have such a special place in my heart🥺

LeAnna

I know exactly what you mean, it makes me emotional too 😭 i remember being 15 looking up "am I bi?", "signs that you might be gay", etc on the bus after school and going home and crying in my room. Not out of embarrassment but out of fear of my reality. Of course now I'm very comfortable with my bisexuality but it really is so hard to come to terms with/figure out and I think the show does so well showing that process.

Tia Lily

bruh the ending of this episode and the beginning of ep 3 always make me cry so hard bc before i figured out i was bi i remember exactly what it felt like sitting on the bedroom floor at age 14 looking up shit like "am i gay" and bro... like idk it's one of the scenes in the show that just deeply resonated with me like i felt so damn seen and it makes my heart hurt. i also can't listen to "why am i like this" anymore without crying lol i love this show so much😭😭😭 i bet i'm gonna cry when i see y'all react to it 💀
