Lindsay before Carl…

Not trying to suggest she’s broken. Just the way she greets relationships is always gonna be a little intense and dramatic. And it makes certain people uncomfortable because they just don’t know how to understand making those choices. It also drives viewership cause we all love following another persons drama. Maybe OP is trying to slut shame, and in that case they can stub their toes on corners every day for the rest of their lives. I’ve always had a lil side eye for Lindsey and the way she dates. I maybe read too much into it, but what has always made me pause on Lindsey, even if I think it is a certain type of bravery I don’t posses, is her 0-60 with turning a hook up into a serious relationship. I get it, the dopamine rush, the excitement, it feels so good and so right at first. There is just also a point where I don’t get trying to force someone to be who you want them to be, or a relationship to be what you want it to be, without some common sense and rational understanding that most people just aren’t gonna change unless they are ready. Finding a connection does not mean y’all will make a good relationship. As someone with adhd I think it’s even more important WE understand what our brain is doing to us. It’s ok to take a step back and slow down, even if you don’t want to. It’s the kindest thing I can do sometimes when dealing with my different relationships (sexual, romantic, platonic, familial). I don’t think it’s a knock to point out that certain things TEND to lead to more drama or uncertainty. It’s just how humans and life work. None of us are exempt from the human psyche, neurodivergent or neurotypical
