realized today I’d held a fundamental flaw in my understanding of Jake…

he’s not an extrovert, he just plays one on TV (production jobs, and anywhere else being social is required).

all this time I guess I was coming at it from the perspective of an introvert who loves an extrovert, and trying to learn how a very different person works – but actually, we’re both introverts, we both need to be in our weird headspaces sometimes, and as such we actually have to communicate it with each other.

(he’s been doing this the whole time.)

it’s so enlightening! everything makes so much more sense! god! hello, fresh understanding!

ahhh 😀
