1 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,960 Speaker 1: Should it be an episode on relationships or is that 2 00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:08,720 Speaker 1: too close to the sex episode? No, I think it's 3 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,480 Speaker 1: totally different. But the thing is, will you have anything 4 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:16,759 Speaker 1: to talk about? I'm just kidding. Oh my god, I'm 5 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: just kidding. Wow. Uh. It's August, which, um you may 6 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 1: not know. It is kind of just like a dead 7 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,880 Speaker 1: time all around for a lot of people who work 8 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:38,479 Speaker 1: in media and especially freelancers. In its summer, and you know, 9 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 1: we want to like have a little bit of a 10 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: summer break. Although I mean in August, I'm actually going 11 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: to be working just on different things. So so we're 12 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: like a virgin LLC. That's actually that's not actually what 13 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: our l is. Loretta after Struck. Loretta LLC is taking 14 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: some time off this August, and we so enjoyed recording 15 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: our Girls Girling episodes in June and are still you know, 16 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: apart and want to spend a little extra time together. 17 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: So you're hearing this now in August, but we're recording 18 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 1: it in July, and like those episodes in June, we're 19 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,680 Speaker 1: going to focus on one topic or theme that is 20 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 1: not media or entertainment related and just kind of shoot 21 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: the ship about that. Yes, so no cultural topic for today, 22 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:36,199 Speaker 1: but we were tasked by producer Phoebe to talk about relationships, 23 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 1: and I believe the inciting question she's provided us is 24 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: why have all your romantic relationships failed? Which just goes 25 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: to show that Phoebe um knows us very well and 26 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: also is a bitch. I will, okay, so let me 27 00:01:54,920 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: just caveat this because it's not necessarily inaccurate to say 28 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: to ask why have all your romantic relationships failed? Because 29 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: as far as relationships go, you and I have maybe 30 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: not been in as many as the average girl, or 31 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: maybe um just like don't prioritize or like market our 32 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: lives through relationships the way some people do. But I 33 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: will say, and also, neither of us are currently in 34 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:26,679 Speaker 1: a relationship, so you know, just by by you know, logic, 35 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: that means all of our previous relationships have failed because 36 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: none of them continue to endure. But I will say, 37 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: just to be that girl, that I actually just don't 38 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: feel like any of my relationships have been quote unquote failures. 39 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: I I really believe in like love cycles. I believe 40 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: that like all relationships kind of teach me things and 41 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 1: like give me something new, um and cult and I 42 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: do feel like I and the product. I think, like 43 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: who I am today is the product of a lot 44 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: of ex lovers and like it they have you know, 45 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: given me or taught me in the time that I 46 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: spent with them. So like when a relationship ends, I 47 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,839 Speaker 1: don't necessarily think of it as a failure. I think 48 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: of it as the end of a love cycle. Um. 49 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: And I don't know, I I yeah, I just wanted 50 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: to copy at that. Okay, well, thank you for providing 51 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,919 Speaker 1: that context. Um. You know a lot of my relationships 52 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: have failed because I wasn't exactly interested in them. Um. 53 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 1: I as I've I've kind of like jokingly said on 54 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: this podcast before, like that I think I might fall 55 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: somewhere on the A romantic or demi romantic spectrum. And like, 56 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: I don't know how true that is. I think, like 57 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: for me defining it in that way, it's not super helpful. 58 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: It's just like relationships have never been a huge priority 59 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: for me. And I really love the beginning of a relationship. 60 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: I love a crush, I love that feeling of obsession, 61 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: and then as soon as my interest is returned, I 62 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: lose it. Um. So that's kind of how all of 63 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: my relationships have mostly failed, and then also a lot 64 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: of them have been just because what if that didn't happen. 65 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,600 Speaker 1: I got to the point where I wanted to like 66 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: define what we were, and the other person and I 67 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 1: were not on the same page. Either. I wanted to 68 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 1: be you know, boyfriends or girlfriends or whatever, and the 69 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 1: other person didn't or the other person did, and I 70 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 1: was like, that's not what we are. I guess the 71 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 1: biggest problem with all my romantic relationships has the through 72 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 1: line has been just not being on the same page 73 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: as the other person. You know, Like the last time 74 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: I actually dated someone when it ended was when I said, like, 75 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: so we've been dating for a while, do I call 76 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: you my boyfriend? And the other person was like, oh, 77 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 1: I didn't think that was something we were doing, which 78 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: is like so gas lady, because like it's not just 79 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: about words, like you show people through actions how you 80 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 1: were defining your relationship. And this was someone who very 81 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: much acted like my boyfriend. Yes, if you're playing house 82 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: and doing all this ship, if you're if you're like 83 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 1: raking in on the emotional intimacy, like because he wanted 84 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: me to like come over every night just to sleep. 85 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,479 Speaker 1: He like texted me every day. He wanted to like 86 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: go out to dinner all the time. I guess maybe 87 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: what pushed him over the edge was one time after 88 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: we had sex, I set his call to Garson wallet 89 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 1: on fire by accident. On accident. It was an accident. 90 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: He had a hit a lit candle and I you know, 91 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: knocked his wallet into it and it lit on fire. 92 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 1: But he definitely was my boyfriend. And then when I 93 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: was like, so, you're my boyfriend, right, he was like whoa. 94 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: Whoa was such a huge red flag, an immediate chop um. 95 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 1: So I similarly, I have similar problems. I feel like 96 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: I'm always not on the same page with like the 97 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: romantic partners that I find, and um, I'm usually trying 98 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: to keep things casual and they want something more. I'm 99 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 1: trying to feel it out or take my time and 100 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 1: and that's just not where they are. And that's usually 101 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: a consequence of dating people that are younger than me, 102 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 1: which happens all the time. But I will say my 103 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: relationships usually start in kind of the inverse way. I 104 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: cannot in any way develop a real crush on someone 105 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 1: unless I have green light confirmation that they like me 106 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: or that they're into me, Like my crush, and I 107 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: don't I don't know if this is like a really great, 108 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: very healthy approach relationships or if it's just narcissism. But like, 109 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: I truly cannot find that you know, crushy feeling until 110 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: it feels like a possibility for me, And I think 111 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,600 Speaker 1: that kind of cuts me off from a lot of opportunities. Like, 112 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,039 Speaker 1: but it's probably healthy. It is healthy. I mean, I'm 113 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: grateful for it because I'm not like stuck, not since 114 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: high school, at least not stuck like pining over people 115 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: that aren't going to love me back um or aren't 116 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: even gonna like, you know, think about think about me. 117 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: But it also like cuts me off from opportunity because 118 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: if I don't have a green light, if I don't 119 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: have like initial flirting or anything, which is really difficult 120 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: for me to pick up on in the first place, 121 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: like I just won't even consider you as a prospect um, 122 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: And so I tend to play defense. And anybody that 123 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: ever wants to get me, which has always always been 124 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: true and probably will stay true, usually has to approach 125 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: me first in sub capacity, you know. And I think 126 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: that's when I start to engage. But yeah, I don't 127 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: know it's so hard especially when like, especially in like 128 00:07:54,120 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: queer relationships, like the situation ship just is rain supreme. 129 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 1: It rains supreme, and I am in a lot of them, 130 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: and I feel like, you know, the only ethical way 131 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: to do situation ships is that is if you're both 132 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 1: on the same page about being in situation ships. And 133 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: that has been like my last few relationships have been 134 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: that they've been things that we have not labeled, but 135 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: we have like in subcapacity committed to each other. Um. 136 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: But it creates tension if one of the partners is 137 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: not forthcoming about what their wants and needs are and um, 138 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,719 Speaker 1: the the the issue really at the end of the 139 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: day usually is like they want something that I do 140 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,959 Speaker 1: not want, or they're not willing to take it at 141 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 1: the pace that I want to take it, or we're 142 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: not finding a way to compromise, or I don't know. 143 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: I I think that To answer Phoebe's inciting question, I 144 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: do feel like a lot of my relationships become about power, 145 00:08:55,120 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 1: dynamic and control. And you always have the power, you know, 146 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: you always want the power? Yeah, I do. Well, I 147 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: wouldn't say I always want the power. I would say 148 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: in recent and like the last two ish years, I've 149 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 1: really conceded myself to my lovers and tried my hardest 150 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: to be less like the person that I used to be, 151 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:24,559 Speaker 1: but but trying to reclaim how our relationships does come 152 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,719 Speaker 1: naturally to me. So it is a vice I I 153 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: end up falling into. Like I I like things to 154 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: be on my terms. I like and you ask what 155 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 1: you want, you you ask for what you want in 156 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 1: relationships exactly. But the thing is, if I date you 157 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,199 Speaker 1: long enough, what I eventually have to kind of let 158 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: you in on is just say, like, hey, my first relationship, 159 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 1: which was a year and a half long, was really 160 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: emotionally traumatizing and like it was with a person who 161 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: controlled everything that I did and and and so now 162 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 1: I've basically shaped all of my future relationships after that 163 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 1: to protect myself in a way that is sometimes overcorrective 164 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 1: and you know, not fair to the partners that I 165 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: take on. And sometimes I mean someone that I dated 166 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: a few years ago, I had to be like, hey, like, 167 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 1: I don't know why I reacted this way. I don't 168 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 1: know why I did this. I don't know why I 169 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,599 Speaker 1: did that. I'm so sorry. I think it's coming from 170 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 1: this has to do with like my last relations or 171 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 1: this has to do with relationships eons ago, and it 172 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: doesn't have to do with you. And I'm so sorry 173 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: that it's that I brought it in. I mean, that's 174 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,839 Speaker 1: it's really good that you're so self aware about it, 175 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: because despite the fact that I don't, or maybe because 176 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: of the fact that I don't have a lot of 177 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,679 Speaker 1: romantic relationships, when I have been in them, I just 178 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: act like fucking crazy person and I don't really have 179 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 1: any self control. And that feeling of like having a 180 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:58,679 Speaker 1: crush and it being something that is controlling you. That 181 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: is really most of my experience with relationships and probably 182 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: why I choose not to shape my life around them, 183 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: because I know that I'm just like prone to that. 184 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 1: There's someone who I dated right around right before I 185 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: started transitioning who just like never kind of gave me 186 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,679 Speaker 1: what I wanted but always strung me along and he 187 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: was so hot and I was so obsessed with him, 188 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 1: and then would like periodically pop back into my life 189 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: over the years and say things like, oh, well, I 190 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: actually think I might be bisexual and I might be 191 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 1: into women, and like give me a little bit of hope, 192 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: and then that feeling of not having control of how 193 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,839 Speaker 1: I acted around this person would come back and we 194 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: even he he was really into uh sticking pokes at 195 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 1: one point, and he one time we like hung out 196 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,439 Speaker 1: and he gave me a tattoo and then I tattooed 197 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 1: my name on his ass um. Oh my god, that's 198 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 1: so punk. That's like very you not gonna lie it 199 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: is and it was so it was so hot, and 200 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: I said to him, like after it happened, I said, 201 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: so you know that I own you now, and he's like, 202 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: I know, I've always known that. And it was crazy 203 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 1: to me how he could say things like that that 204 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: we're so hot, but like then not follow that up 205 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: with giving me what I actually wanted, which was just 206 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: like him. And so because of that feeling, I am 207 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: someone who likes control. And so I guess one of 208 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: the reasons why I have chosen not to order my 209 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: life around romantic relationships is because I don't want to, 210 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: in a larger sense, give up the control over my 211 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: life that I have. And yeah, I guess I'm too 212 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: into being the person who says what I what I'm doing, 213 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: and what I want um to like give up that 214 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: larger control and I mean you said you kind of 215 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 1: read me kind of Recently, we were talking about doing 216 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 1: our live show in New York and I was saying 217 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: that the reason that I I didn't want to do 218 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: it is because I couldn't be in control of it 219 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 1: and the way I wanted, and you said, no, what 220 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: it's actually about is you don't want to be uncomfortable. 221 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: And I think that's another big part of it, is, 222 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 1: like relationships are really uncomfortable. You're giving so much of yourself, 223 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: You're putting so much of yourself into someone else's hands 224 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: and letting them decide, and you're letting someone see you 225 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,679 Speaker 1: in a really vulnerable way, and that to me is 226 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,959 Speaker 1: extremely uncomfortable. And because I know I have this propensity 227 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: to like become so obsessed with someone that I'll like 228 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 1: literally them do whatever they want. I'll let them like 229 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: tattoo something on my body, I just don't let myself 230 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: get to the point where that could even start to happen. 231 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:12,439 Speaker 1: I similarly, like I can, I can try. I'm very protective, 232 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 1: and I think I don't know if it's in the 233 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 1: same way, but like I can be very codependent, like 234 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: extremely codependent with like my lovers and like I when 235 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: I get into a rhythm with them, I want them 236 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: around all the time. And I get really scared of 237 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: that version of myself, like my Venus is and Gemini 238 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: and like a switch flips, and UM, I think it's 239 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: it's something that can be really terrifying, Um, to make 240 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 1: yourself that vulnerable or uncomfortable, as you're saying. And I 241 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: think a lot about worthiness. And I think that you 242 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: and I just actually have arrived at a place where 243 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: we really do know our own worth. Like we really 244 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: do know how good we are at our jobs. We 245 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: know like how we ascend, We know like how good 246 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: we are actually have relationships and communication, how adult we are, 247 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: like how stable we are in our own lives, and 248 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 1: like it's really hard for prospective lovers to even come 249 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: close to like where we are. You know, I know, 250 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: I really I can't imagine being with someone who's not 251 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: on my level. And I don't mean that, and I 252 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 1: mean that in many ways, not just in one way. Also, 253 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: my Venus is also in Gemini. Wait are you kidding me? Yeah, 254 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: my Venus is in Gemini in the second house, jaw direct. 255 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 1: We need to talk to Channy about this, Um, we 256 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: need to conference her and immediately that is whack a doodle. Yes, 257 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: but so um I think when I over the past 258 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: couple of years, I have found myself getting a lot 259 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: more attention from younger people, which is not necessarily like 260 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: who I normally am the most attracted to. And because 261 00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: of that, I can't imagine dating someone who does not 262 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 1: have their shipped together in the same way I do, 263 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: so like, I don't even like consider this like people 264 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 1: as partners and I and I mean that on so 265 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: many levels, like I mean financially, like someone who who 266 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 1: has their ship together with their career at least like 267 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 1: knows what they want to do or is like working 268 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: towards that, And also someone who knows themselves because a 269 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: lot of people really don't know themselves. And you and 270 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: I are two people who have done a lot of 271 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: work to become almost painfully self aware. And you know, 272 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 1: if my romantic relationships could be at the level as 273 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: my you know, friendships are, maybe, but it's it's so 274 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: much work. I mean, you and I do so much processing, 275 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: and I an't imagine doing that with someone I have 276 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: sex with. Okay, two things. First of all, the overprocessing 277 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: thing is so real. I do feel like I've done 278 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: so much self work, but now to the point of 279 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 1: just like it becoming an issue. You like, one of 280 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 1: my last serious relationships. Our relationship had already ended, but 281 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: we had you know, one of those like months later, 282 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: like let's talk a little bit about it and how 283 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: when or whatever. And something that he said has really 284 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 1: stuck out to him. He was like, we spent so 285 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 1: much time processing and talking about what wasn't going wrong 286 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 1: or how you were trying to fix yourself or how 287 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,159 Speaker 1: I was trying to fix myself. Like we spent so 288 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 1: much time saying how we were going to do better 289 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: that we never like just were we never were in 290 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,919 Speaker 1: the actual relationship because we're talking too much about the 291 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,399 Speaker 1: futurity and how to improve it. And I was, but 292 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,119 Speaker 1: was but was that a direct result of conflict you 293 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 1: were having? It was? It was? It was. It was 294 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 1: a direct result of conflict and also a direct result 295 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 1: of me being and like I think my first year 296 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,439 Speaker 1: of therapy, so there was a lot going on. It 297 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,920 Speaker 1: was the pandemic because I think when you have when 298 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 1: you have conflict, like you need to work through it. 299 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 1: That's one of the reasons why fran I have a 300 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 1: good friendship and are able to work together. And it's 301 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 1: like I was talking to someone about this recently, like 302 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,159 Speaker 1: it's not just something that happens. Fran and I have 303 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:16,360 Speaker 1: had some very you know, not but very intense moments 304 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: in our friendship where we have had to call each 305 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:25,160 Speaker 1: other out or call each other in and really talk 306 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 1: about it because our friendship is really important to both 307 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:33,119 Speaker 1: of us. Um And I know that I'm someone with 308 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: interpersonal relationships that if I don't, if I don't bring 309 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: something a problem up when it's happening, it will just 310 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: fester and become something much bigger than what it is. 311 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: And that's like, I'm so grateful that I'm able to 312 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 1: come to you and say, like, hey, this thing happened 313 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 1: the other day and it has been kind of bugging me. 314 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: And I know that if I just don't say something 315 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 1: about it, it's going to keep bugging me. So let's 316 00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:00,879 Speaker 1: just talk about it. Um And I just can't see 317 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:06,399 Speaker 1: myself doing that with a romantic partner because all the 318 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:25,919 Speaker 1: times I've tried it has so backfired on me. I 319 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:31,719 Speaker 1: just don't prioritize romantic relationships. I let romantic relationships happen 320 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 1: to me. They fall into my lap. Someone approaches me, 321 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: I'm going to engage with that because you've taken the time. 322 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 1: And if I think you're sexy or fun and I 323 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 1: want to date, but like I'm just not hawking for them. 324 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: I don't go out to the clubs to look for relationships. 325 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 1: I'm there with my girlies. When I imagine my life, 326 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 1: when I and I'm someone who doesn't want to get married, okay, 327 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 1: like I do want to be a wife, okay, but 328 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: like when I imagine my life, I imagine that wedding 329 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 1: or like what my life looks like. I don't imagine 330 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: myself and a partner. I imagine myself and a partner 331 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 1: and a community of people that we have like built 332 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: our lives around, and with that we are cultivating lives 333 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 1: together that I'm helping raise my friends kids that I 334 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: am like you know that I'm traveling all the time 335 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 1: with my friends and with my partner, Like I don't 336 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: want isolated time to no end with like my you know, 337 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,880 Speaker 1: betrothed or whoever. It is, like it's just I can't 338 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: I can't even imagine that. I thought that I think 339 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 1: is the problem. Although I do have moments where I think, 340 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: you know, last week it was my birthday, and I 341 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 1: did think it would be so nice to have a 342 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:52,719 Speaker 1: partner who was like making sure that I was, you know, 343 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 1: having a good day or like whatever. But those are 344 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 1: really the only moments where I think about that. And 345 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: part of all this is I'm so bad at dating 346 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,679 Speaker 1: and I just don't It's like, I mean, dating is 347 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 1: working hard. I mean, it's it's a it's it's a 348 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: combination of being bad at it and also being completely disinterested, 349 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 1: and a big part of it is being out of 350 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: practice with it. So much of this is you know, 351 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: a byproduct of over two years of the pandemic and 352 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 1: just like not my social muscles not being what they 353 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: used to be. But I remember, like right after I 354 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,880 Speaker 1: moved to l A, you know, I was trying to 355 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 1: find connection. I was like not just I wasn't really 356 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 1: using Grinder because I didn't want to have casual sex 357 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 1: because of the scary COVID of it all. But I 358 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,680 Speaker 1: started to use like tender more. And there are people 359 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: who wanted to like meet up in the park and 360 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,680 Speaker 1: go on a walk, and I mean, first of all, 361 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 1: I don't ever want to I don't ever want to 362 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 1: meet up with someone in a park ever again. But 363 00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 1: I was so out of practice of talking to a 364 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: human being I didn't know in real life, and dating 365 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 1: was already something that I had been really like bad 366 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 1: about and disinterested in, and so I just like fully 367 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 1: opted out of it. I remember even I even made 368 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: plans to meet up with someone and then just ghosted 369 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 1: them because I was like, I can't do this. I 370 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: don't have the spoons for it. I mean, yeah, I mean, 371 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 1: I you know, you shouldn't be too hard on yourself. 372 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 1: I think it's it's worth saying. And what probably virgins 373 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 1: at home already know is that, like dating as a 374 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,199 Speaker 1: trans person is extremely hard, and dating is hard for 375 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,959 Speaker 1: girls like us, but like especially for girls like you, 376 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,199 Speaker 1: like yours and my transness are extremely different, and like 377 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: I benefit from just you know, still dating faggots, you know, 378 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: like we date dip completely different pools of people um 379 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,400 Speaker 1: to summit to some extent, and you know, I just 380 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:55,439 Speaker 1: like the mental back flips and kind of inner monologues 381 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 1: that you have to have just to get yourself in 382 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 1: the door is just completely different than probably most people 383 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 1: listening to this podcast. You know, yeah, I think I 384 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,639 Speaker 1: you know, I would imagine that a lot of trans 385 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 1: people can understand that experience, and like a lot of 386 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:17,159 Speaker 1: since people might not have a way to even conceptualize 387 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 1: what it is like as a trans person. Two, think 388 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 1: about dating, to think about meeting someone if you've never 389 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,119 Speaker 1: met before, and like all of the things you have 390 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 1: to sort of like prepare yourself for about how they 391 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:38,159 Speaker 1: might interact with you or see you. And yeah, like 392 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: not even honestly, like microaggressions are like the baseline, but 393 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: like what's worse actually is like what they don't say, 394 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,479 Speaker 1: but what you know they're thinking. Yeah, And I started 395 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 1: and I started like being especially in the past, I 396 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: don't know, maybe six months that you know, I do 397 00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,719 Speaker 1: not hook up with people as often as I used to, 398 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: and when I do, I'm much more upfront. I like 399 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 1: really don't want to have sex with men who consider 400 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 1: themselves straight at all. And like, you know, I'm by, 401 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: but I do primarily have sex with men. It's just 402 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,879 Speaker 1: easier to casually have sex with with men. I'd really 403 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: do not want to have sex with anyone who doesn't 404 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,360 Speaker 1: consider themselves queer. And I have started like the last 405 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:30,160 Speaker 1: person I had sex with, um who's by, I said 406 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: something along the lines of like just you know, like 407 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,400 Speaker 1: I don't consider myself super cis passing. So if that's 408 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 1: something you're interested in, if you're like on Grinder specifically 409 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 1: looking for looking for trans women, that's just not my tea. 410 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,719 Speaker 1: And and he, you know, was like, oh yeah, Like 411 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: I would never think that my opinion on how someone 412 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 1: presented like should have any impact on them. And that's 413 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 1: not something I really care about at all. And so 414 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: it is like very reassuring to me to have those 415 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 1: kinds of caveats upfront and out of the way. But 416 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:10,439 Speaker 1: it's still like, is scary. I think it's less scary 417 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,959 Speaker 1: when it's just sex, but if you have a feeling 418 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 1: that it could be more than that, I think when 419 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 1: you're trans, it's just like you're always waiting for the 420 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 1: shooter drop, I mean, honestly, though, to end on some lightness, 421 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 1: I have to bring up a point that we talked 422 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 1: about in the Honey Pluton episode, which is that you 423 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 1: and I would be exceptional contestants on a dating show. 424 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 1: I think I would be a great judge or a host. 425 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 1: No no, no, no no, I don't want to be 426 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 1: a contestant, baby, baby, this this is my plea virgins. 427 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 1: If you know casting directors, producers, you know people that 428 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 1: work on reality shows, especially if you know someone that 429 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 1: works on funk Boy Island who is trying to develop 430 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: a queer funk they Island.
