To be fair, Rue telling Jules to meet Tyler in public is an advice every girl gives her friend when talking about a guy they met on the internet. It`s sort of an unspoken rule amongst most women I know, always meet in public, tell a friend where you are and just try and stay safe as good as you can. It`s not always about the feelings you have for the other person. Even though it is a big part in this situation

As someone who’s been the “therapist” friend, I dated a guy with suicidal tendencies who was very showy about it, would post blurry pictures of self harm and delete them later. I was only 16 and I already had this tendency to make myself responsible for peoples emotions and issues, so for the short period that I dated him, I couldn’t think about anything else, some nights I would cry and every time I was going to meet him I would get a lot of anxiety. He had talked about how his friends had all left him the year before and that that was his worst moment, so I felt extremely trapped and unable to leave him, scared that would drive him to do something radical. I was able to get out of it when I found out he had been dating another girl at the same time, I wasn’t even upset, I just took it as my ticket to leave.

Could you talk about the "personality" of addiction? When Rue is sober she is caring and responsible. When she relapses and start using drugs again she is the complete opposite and it goes really dark. I lived with an addict for a long time and it can be extremely hard to navigate the different behaviour patterns of someone you love, who now feels like an enemy. It is very difficult to not personalise the way they treat you, which can even seem like narcisistic abuse. Thank you for your channels, they give great insight in an interesting way. God bless you 🥰

Who's gonna tell him that "Tyler" is actually Nate, and this is their first time meeting in person after an online relationship. She has never heard his voice, done a video chat, or seen any proof that he is a real person. The meet up after the Carnival, was terrifying and it ended up really bad for Jules. It clearly wasn't safe, and that was why Rue was warning her against it.

I don't feel you can actually get a proper take on Jules & Rue's relationship without watching every single solid scene that pertains to them both, together & individually.

[no.]

Jules is the character I feel the entire fandom of Euphoria has just dogpiled on (not without reason, I know). Her episode showed that she clearly had her own demons battling, from being abandoned and abused by her alcoholic mother, dealing with disordered eating and gender dysphoria, all the way to her extremely low sense of self worth that causes her to constantly seek out validation from straight men. Enter Rue - someone that puts the weight of their entire mental health onto Jules. I don't blame Rue from this because she's sick, but this was such a cruel and selfish type of burden to put on Jules and Jules herself was probably so conflicted the entire time because you can clearly tell she cares about Rue, but somewhere along the way, I think she starts using Rue for validation too. The entire "relationship" was so toxic on both ends from the very start.

I think Rue genuinely cared about Jules meeting Tyler in a non-public environment for safety reasons, too.

[trinaq]

Jules suddenly cheating on Rue with Elliot just felt very out of character, and so unnecessary. In total, I was really disappointed by how Season 2 portrayed their overall relationship as toxic, to the point of Jules going along with leaving Rue on the road.

Rue's dependence on Jules reminds me of the whole Edward telling Bella that she's his own personal brand of heroine. There's love and then there's addiction. Rue went from depending on drugs to make her feel good to Jules being that replacement. And it got to be a lot for Jules to handle, which is understandable. That is a lot to ask of someone.

My ex used to tell me he needed his ”daily dose” of me. At first I thought it was cute, but after a while I started to feel trapped. After it ended I realized that the only thing I got out of that relationship was his romantic and sexual attention, he didn’t offer me much support in return for what I gave him. Therefore it felt like such an insult when he suggested that we stay friends, because I knew how lopsided that ”friendship” would be.

[MollieCahill]

This reminded me of when I was a preteen, I basically fell in love with the boy who sat next to me in all of my classes. We also happened to be incredibly fast and easy friends. I explicitly confessed my feelings in 8th grade (two years after we met), and he said something like the following: "I already knew you felt that way but I didn't want to make it weird, and it's not going to be weird. You're one of my favorite people, and one of my dearest friends, and I would never want you to be anything other than you are, because you're great. I just can't be your boyfriend." And this was a double-edged sword for me, because it meant our friendship as it was wouldn't change, and that he liked me as I was, and that he really cared about me, but he also made it really difficult to move on because what he said was just so, so sweet 🤣 He set a bar for rejection that no man has ever met since, lol. I eventually did move on though, and in spite of a series of major life changes, we are still friends almost 20 years later ❤

I absolutley would love to see you react to scenes from heartstopper, especially for future seasons when they really delve into Charlie's mental health and the support he receives from his loved ones. It's such a great portrayal of exactly wht you discussed in this video

[sian_wm]

I think the most powerful moment of raw in Euphoria is the mental breakdown of Rue in front of her mom and sister (season 2, when her mother took her pills). And more generally how does she react related to her family and the character of her sister who's kinda pushed aside because she doesn't have problems, so she have to take care of her sister because she's a drug addict...

My husband and I both struggle with depression and anxiety. And we’ve been able to work together to make it to therapy to get an official diagnosis for each of us and to start learning how to manage them. After 10 years together and many low points we’ve been able to build each other up. After our second child was born I had really bad post-partum depression and his depression had been exasperated by a difficult work situation. We both were dealing with suicidal ideation. And because we had spent time working together to heal we were able to voice those thoughts and use each other as a safe space to cope and work through them. We’re both in a much better place now. And now we have two children recently diagnoses with ADHD with additional anxiety for one of them. And I hope we can be an example to them of how to support someone struggling with a mental illness/abnormality.

I wanted to share in case anyone reading is concerned about being able to have a stable relationship if you have a mental illness or if your partner does. It’s hard and can be draining with you’re in a season when the other needs extra support. But it has brought us so much closer being able to support and lift each other.

[Axiniana]

What you are saying at around 3:00 about non-mutual feelings being normal and should be normalized - so so so true!

I once had a guy friend confess his love to me. Now, I definitely liked and still like this person, but not as a potential partner. So I said no, while trying to be most gentle and friendly. He disappeared for TWO YEARS. I was upset but realized it was better than his unrequited pining and being in "the friendzone". But, lo and behold! He reappeared those two years later, all "Hey, Axiniana, I'm finally over you not wanting to date me, also I've been through a lot of shit and would really like to vent it to you and to be your friend again".

And we did! And we were friends again, and still are (it was some six years ago). It was the first time this actually happened to me and I was so awed and humbled by his choice of both actions and words. An amazing guy, really. And an amazing situation. I really hope this happens more to all kinds of people all around the globe, because it is so sad to lose a friend only because one of you suddenly had a crush on the other.

Rue and Jules were a mess together. I really feel for both of them. Jules sent a lot of mixed messages and Rue put her sobriety in Jules hands. Even though I didn’t think they worked romantically (especially in season 2!) When they connected as friends it was beautiful. I loved the scene when Rue was telling Jules not to go out at night because it showed how much she cared for Jules. We saw her display common sense which typically wasn’t her go to in this series. I’m curious how their relationship will play out in season 3…
