I thought the whole thing was a play on fragile masculinity as we've seen elsewhere in the show, no?

I listen to that song when I exercise right before kendrick lamar's "i"(with the refrain of "i love myself") so i exercise out the negative self-talk and go to the positive. it's pwoerful.

Yes, I feel you. Not depression but anxiety magnified by ADHD. The Tell Me I'm Okay broke my heart. And as Rachel - not Rebecca - knows: it's okay not to be normal, nobody is normal, embrace what makes you not normal. But that's a lesson for Becca to learn. When we saw the names on the bridal shower goody bags I

Nah, LOVED Etta, but she really needed to be in an assisted living. If Fiona didn't have to work I'd agree. Also, she was a littttle distracted with the death of her mom.

I just saw the episode and I disagree: there are definitely more than a few transphobic gay people. The club could've been pretty trans-exclusive.

I don't find it tiring because I just feel badly for her and want to help. I think the show is really compassionate to her issues and I just sort of hurt for her. In real life, that wouldn't excuse a friend of mine or anything, but for a fictional character? I'm all in.

I don't know, don't we all fight with parts of ourselves? I didn't read it as interacting with her fantasies, but simply being a conflicted human with lots of repression going on.

I feel like a few people are taking the Breaking Bad comparison a bit literally: Bloom has said the show is over when Bunch has grown and learned. The shows are already so tonally different.

My mind went to Destiny's Child :)

Good point! I also feel like Becca's reaction to her dream/goosebumps would not have been that big of deal if she were more secure in herself and her relationship.

I don't mind not seeing the appeal of Josh personally because it makes it clear she's projecting and putting so much onto what she wants him to be: a miracle cure for her issues.

I don't do it to the extent that Darryl does, but I'm in a really happy relationship, but don't have a best girlfriend where I'm her best friend, also: having other lady friends has been more of a source of insecurity than my love life. It's a bit odd but it happens. His song almost made me cry.

Another one I don't watch consistently but really enjoyed what I saw of it.

I guess that's true. Still intrusive to INTERRUPT A SESSION. - said by someone with issues but less of them than josh and rebecca

That's RIGHT - I don't watch Broad City consistently. It's also great because Rachel and Ilana were roommates.

I was curious and Googled my therapist (who also works out of a home office) - only her name and zip. I only had the address because of insurance stuff. Either way, it is NOT OK of him.

The musical theatre geek in me really dug it artistically, though.

I guess I think it could mean that you hate that part of yourself, not yourself in total. I think the comment made sense of the conversation but wasn't posed as a general truth.

Eh, that feels like a stretch. Plus, it would go against everything the show has set up. "Hey, don't worry about your unhealthy relationship standards or mental health issues: they will pay off!" Nope. I'm not against Becca ending in a relationship but it shouldn't be with him and she's got to be by herself longer.

And I honestly think if I weren't encouraged to question, I wouldn't be religiously observant. It was so wonderful.
