ok so i relate SO DAMN MUCH to tom from 500 days of summer. he is almost reclusive, afraid to follow his true passion in life, idealizes his partner until he basically loves an idea, is stupid when drunk, a selfish person when it comes to love, very codependent, needs to feel needed, f****** smashing plates, in waves of depression, doesn’t listen because he feels like he knows what to do, runs away from conflict and his emotions, too afraid to tell someone that he loves them, judgmental, denies the cold truth, fantasizes about crush, absorbed in self. i have never related to a character more. wow i must be a f****** terrible person
