    My bf and I go thrifting almost every week and we always get milkshakes on the way home and then do a fashion show. He always goes “omg that’s so cute!” or “Your butt looks so good in that!”. Thrifting days are usually the highlight of my week.

      I wish that was my experience. I have to come up with unique responses for every article of clothing at a rate of like 1 per minute.

      Thrifting is mentally exhausting for me.

        Jeez yeah that’s tough. My bf and I have already agreed I’m the wordy, talkative one. Even if he is kinda repetitive, I can see in his eyes what he appreciates and what he’s less enthusiastic about and I appreciate his participation and validation nonetheless.

          That’s the way ours is. But her anxiety tells her that I’m not talking much because I’m upset with her.

          I’m not happy with her past relationships for giving her that anxiety (she’s working on it, so I’m not unhappy with her).

            I remember when i had to manage someone else’s emotions on top of my own. Good times
