that’s not my point? to be fair as someone who has a trauma, i know it’s not easy to open up but i’m not going to use my trauma as an excuse to emotionally manipulate other people. my point is, it’s my trauma so why should i let others take responsibility of it? individual’s traumas should not be use as justification in gaslighting other people.
I get your point however to be frank Felix is treading on light water now, it’s obviously a touchy subject for Gio but Felix keeps pressuring him into answering which Gio is not ready. And I apologize for my last response cause I was heated in that moment. Do I like that he’s hiding it in no, but he’s simply not ready to open up about that.( spoiler: he does in future chapters) and it seems people are thinking “oh if he opens up it would be so much better” to be frank it’s not that easy and because of that he resorts to other things such as dodging the question and having sex.
And to be frank again I relate to Gio with this I was in the something similar I had a problem that I was dealing with but I kept it in due to the outcome of it, and to be frank the relationship ended due to the fact a person had decided to put pressure on me to answer only for them to blame it on me and ultimately exploding back at me, and before that I use to leave where the said person was and wander by myself( like a distraction). So I understand where he fears that something bad might happen after the outcome. Mind you the person I knew I had a fear of ending long time relationships and only ended up to pressure me to tell them the truth but only to blame it on me. So yes I understand where Gio is keeping it in to avoid the disturbance within his relationship.
Instead of directly communicating and saying his worries and admitting he’s anxious so they can talk it out, he resorted to gaslighting felix by guilt tripping him by saying “maybe you find me burdensome that’s why you’re saying that” and all. he’s clearly the one who’s in the wrong here but you guys are so irrational so whatever
