I Hate Everything But You - feat. Skylar Astin - "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend"

[@nmv6488]

“I hate the phrase love conquers all and I hate that it’s true” HAS to be one of the most romantic lyrics ever to be written and it’s in a satirical song. This show is pure genius.

[@Lady-Seashell-Bikini]

"I hate the phrase love conquers all and I hate that it's true, cause I want to not hate things when I'm with you" along with "We can't control the things we do just like I can't control that I'm in love with you" are both super sweet lyrics.

[@Bendover-yd5hw]

The heartbreaking part is that it's the only line from the song that we actually know he said. Later on when Rebecca's mad at him, he calls back to it.

@@BiteSizedCrafterI think maybe before he actively tried not to care about things and just accepted the worst possible future for himself (being an alcoholic working at a bar, living with his dad, dating someone who obviously didn't like him back BECAUSE she didn't like him back, not putting an effort into his degree, etc.) whereas now he accepts his emotions and deals with them without reverting to drinking or other harmful behaviour. If I remember correctly the only 'fun outing' he and Rebecca ever went on before was that Taco festival that he basically wanted to leave as soon as they got there. She had to convince him to stay because she wasn't sure she wanted to 'settle for him' yet if you know what I mean ^^

[@rodvanburen6147]

I love this song SO MUCH. But I think too many people forget that these songs are Rebecca's PERCEPTION of conversations and situations. If you actually watch the episode previous to this song, they are having a nice time together (they had been having a very nice time all day), and Greg literally said the words "I like it" about the water park. Rebecca is backsliding, has been neglecting her therapy for weeks, and is "splitting." This song her negative perception of their conversation, just as Settle For Me was. If you recall Rebecca had brought up his "Settle for me vibe" and he said he didn't remember their conversation being that way at all, and that he DIDN'T want her to settle for him. That's clearly what happens here (remember Rebecca was backsliding and she had literally just gotten angry at Dr Akopian and stormed out en route to the water park). In the end Greg is clearly confused that whatever he had ACTUALLY said didn't work. As they walked up to her apartment he was still trying to explain to her what he actually had said. What Rebecca was doing is called "splitting" - which is common with BPD, making everything all good or all bad, making people friend or enemy, etc, and it can be self-destructive, which is what we saw actually happened as the day went on. Rebecca said Greg hates the place and that he was miserable and that she was making him miserable, none of that was factually true, which you can see for yourself by just rewinding and watching.

[@frankinsaneandmyrrh1202]

I think you're right, at the end of this clip he even says (unsarcastically it seems) "at least I'm outside in the sun," which is a clue that Rebecca imagined him complaining about "the feeling of the sun when it hits his skin" in the song and everything else.

[@alyssaolson7964]

Honestly Greg was pretty cool for most of this episode. Sure, he's not particularly enthusiastic about it being that he doesn't like water parks, but he does come along and try to be supportive of Rebecca. Even from her perspective, it's pretty obvious that he's making an effort here; he's as sunny as he gets for, well, him, he follows her to all the rides, etc. Personally I think I'd have appreciated the gesture of someone being willing to come along with me even if they don't have a particular interest just as much as if they'd wanted to go along on their own. It's sweet that he cares enough about her to come along when he sees that this matters to her. And being that that was the case, it wasn't really fair for her to be so upset with him for not being particularly excited about it. He wasn't trying to ruin it for her, he wasn't being moody, he just doesn't like Raging Waters as much as she does. He's only really here because he knows that she wants him to come. Which is probably what Greg was actually trying to say in this moment. "I don't like water parks, but I like you and I'm here because you like it," is a pretty normal sentiment, I'd think, but Rebecca just didn't understand what he was trying to say to her because she wasn't in a very good place at the time, so she misinterpreted his lack of particular enthusiasm for downright misery during their trip, which was not what he was trying to communicate to her, nor what he actually felt by any indication

[@lettiefickling1201]

so i think that's true, but i also think it's normal to be upset that your s.o. is so reluctant to do something with you that you are really looking forward to doing with them specifically. I'm sure rebecca's dreams of going to the water park with a boyfriend involved them having a great time together, not feeling like a burden who dragged someone to something. someone just putting up with something that is important to you is never a good feeling. it feels like you've opened up and shared a thing about yourself and they've said ' i guess i can tolerate that'.

[@juliacastro8505]

I do understand that, but I also understand how unbereable its someone who's always miserable and hates everything, cuz I've been that person

[@zorro......]

i will say that when you're insecure in yourself the way rebecca was, having someone close to you not like the activity that you dragged them out to do feels like a rejection of yourself even when it isn't. the way she later on says "i know what you think, you think that im annoying" or something along those lines really betrays how she is just hyper-sensitive to how greg feels about her (and her choice of quality time) shes not in the right, and greg's sentiment is actually sweet. shes just working off this assumption that something is wrong with her, and not looking at it from the angle that would actually benefit her.

[@buddytheoc]

people keep writing about Greg's negativity issues and how this negatively affects Rebecca and her BPD. I think you are missing the point. Rebecca's wrong perception of what a relationship is about (her inner idealized imaginative relationship vs. the true relationship). She wanted to got to Raging Waters because in her image this was the place to be with your partner. She doesn't get that Greg might not be into Water parks that much and won't have fun, which is something completely normal and honest. It doesn't make Greg a bad person. It makes Rebecca immature to expect to have every aspect of her life being covered by her partner, a treat that many BPD-people have to deal with. Also, in the episode, we learn that Paula's husband is also a fan of Raging Waters, however Rebecca never considers the idea to go at Raging Waters with him or Paula's family. Your needs cannot be covered by one person. You need to learn that, Rebecca. Doesn't mean that your relationship to Greg is bad, however!

I think people keep taking the wrong thing away from this song. Greg hates everything but with Rebecca someone who loves practically everything he's willing to look at life from a better, happier perspective just to spend more time with her & to make both of them happy. Rebecca shouldn't have steamrolled him & was clearly not in the right headspace but I don't necessarily think it means that their relationship is toxic. They both still have work to do on themselves, and Greg realized quickly that Rebecca's reaction was because she had "fallen off the wagon" & needed to find herself again before going further.

[@perdu6603]

I relate way too much to this song. As a previously undiagnosed autistic adult who complained a lot, I used to have a hard time making other people understand that being annoyed by situations because of sensoriality issues (which I couldn't explain) or simply not liking things that other people enjoyed did not mean I "hated everything". Here Greg is trying to explain to Rebecca that he doesn't like the place but that doesn't matter because what's matter is that he's spending time with her, and Rebecca only sees him as a bummer who doesn't like anything. What's particularly striking to me is that most of the examples are actually very superficial things. I wouldn't categorize being annoyed by people using dumb expressions as "hating everything". Especially when he explains that he actually likes his relationship with her, which matters way more. Greg has a negative attitude towards life because he's recovering from alcool addiction and still working and putting his life together, and also probably because it's his general temperament. But he can still enjoy things, especially what's important in life, such as relationships.

[@Mia199603]

[@sunnysoleil-o5j]

No, Greg didn't actually say that he hates everything. But he didn't NOT say that either. The meaning of his message and the true message of the song are the same, I think. So, to paraphrase, it was something like "Yeah, I can be negative sometimes, but I'm working on it. Your positivity and enthusiasm made me see my negativity for what it is, so thank you." To which Rebecca's mind fixated on the "I'm negative" part and sort of blanked out the other bits, because when you're in a shame spiral compliments simply do. Not. Compute. I'm sure she HEARD those parts but her mind blocked them out because she wasn't in the headspace to absorb them. BPD is, more than a personality disorder even, a reaction to trauma and a dissociative disorder. In her past, accepting and absorbing compliments was probably dangerous to her, because the people in her life who made her feel good about herself either rescinded it or left her. It's easier to just not open yourself up to that, and there are subconscious mechanisms in place to make sure you CAN'T, even if you want to. Not to say that it's not a behavior that can be worked on or that it's IMPOSSIBLE to accept compliments. But it takes practice, and it's scary.

And the fact that he went with Rebecca to a place he hated because he loves her so much? Fantasitc! Because he also learned to find joy in just seeing her happy! And he admits that hating everything isn't cool and there's way for improvement? I really love how this character evolved!!!

[@urmom-qx6sy]

anyone felt uncomfortable with the new greg but grew to find him attractive later cause I did

[@NickIsMe171]

"You hate everything, and you hate this place, and it's making you miserable, so I'm making you miserable." That hits home too hard.

[@ceruleanhearts7604]

very off-topic but in my mom, greg's moves, and josh's sweet dance moves i related to greg on such an uncomfortable level, i physically find it hard to watch the episode

[@SebiTheHunter]

He NAILED that singing

[@Unfiltered494]

This song is awesome, but it's also exactly why Greg wasn't the one for Rebecca. She's the kind of a person who loves cutesy couple names and smelling flowers and a lot of the other silly things he said he hated. He's a sarcastic cynic and she's a hopeless romantic. It was never going to work, even though I did root for Greg until Nathaniel showed up.

[@shtl394]

This whole song and episode encapsulates exactly why I never thought Greg and Rebecca were a good match despite their chemistry (well, Fontana and Bloom's chemistry).

[@sassypants7536]

I'm honestly shocked that Greg forgave Rebecca for sleeping with his dad. I know she wasn't in the best headspace, but some things you can't come back from.

[@chadluetje989]

One thing I really like about this song is how it connects to Greg in season one. At a few parts in the background like near 0:52, you can hear the first few notes played in OMG I Think I Like You which symbolizes Rebecca and Greg’s love
