What does it mean to love someone? How are you supposed to feel?

[ Hi, everyone. Have an awkward, developmentally-stunted dude who asks weird questions with no preamble. It's a heavy topic most people would probably prefer to discuss with close friends and family, not someone they've never met, but Roman doesn't think like that. It doesn't occur to him that some topics may not be appropriate to post on a network like this with relative strangers.

It doesn't occur to him that some people probably can't relate, or wouldn't care about this kind of inner turmoil. There are plenty of other things to worry about here, too, but these thoughts take precedence to him. Surviving in a strange new world is, to him, almost preferable to the struggles within, those of the heart and soul. ]

Some people don't deserve it, do they?

Well. I like talking to you.

[ She's honest. He likes that. He's craved that, and he doesn't care how brutal her honesty may or may not be at any given moment. ]

So you're an asshole. I don't know what I am.

[ See how long that lasts, romeo. ]

What's that got to do with [ ugh genuine gag ] love

[twofates]

I wouldn't know. But does it feel better having an identity?

[underachievement]

You have an identity
Its mostly based on a 90s song but you have it

[twofates]

All I ever wanted.

[ He's actually never heard that song before. He's a little amused. ]

[underachievement]

[ To learn that wouldn't surprise her. ]

And look at that its even possible to drag sarcasm out of you

[twofates]

It's nice to be unpredictable sometimes.

[underachievement]

[ speaking of predictable ] A lot of people are gonna say you have to love yourself before you can love anyone else but that's just some bullshit made up by zoloft

[twofates]

Why would I have to love myself first?

[underachievement]

The idea is that you'll treat other people better
