I gotta admit that Claire is a very good actress. I could believe the "I love you" from the dream, but the one in real life felt really fake and manipulative. It's commendable how the actress can convey that nuance just by the way she says it.

yeah I thought I was the only one, that "I love you" and everything else she said about the breakup sounded very superficial and not genuine

[@brandonpinto5290]

That dream, in fact, is a very possible, figment of the hurt brain's doing. The push and pull with Claire has Mikey trauma bonded to her and these dreams are manifestations of that trauma. While I have been in a long distance toxic relationshit with someone similar I've rarely had such dreams. The nearest parallel I can draw is when I tried to quit watching 90rn. I would have these dreams where my brain would try to rope me back into watching. The cravings would be intense the next morning, causing me to act on em!😅 In that vein it's understandable why Mikey was motivated to act after that dream. Everytime Claire remotely expresses her interest ,she leaves 'breadcrumbs' , which Poor Mikey devours voraciously. Claire's antics are the 'hit' and she is the object of Mike's addiction aka His drug. Once you get into a toxic relationship and get awakened to the fact that you're neck deep in one, that is the greatest reinforcement you'll receive that love isn't this magical thing but is all about chemicals in your brain. Also how does that actress know how to play a pathologically disordered individual so well? Right down to the subtle nuances!😮

The problem is Mikey already disregards Emily completely. Bro didn't come to Claire's house just to stay friends. He welcomed that outcome we got.

[@alex86fire]

That would be easy for her to do if she knows the end goal is getting Mikey away from her. I don't know if they already decided how it's going to go next episode, it's 50/50 in my mind but if Claire is still manipulating and she is at that level, there would be nothing she wouldn't do to get what she wants. But in my mind, since it's clear he doesn't really care about Emily that much, he should just go through with it. What Claire does afterwards is the ultimate test. One way or another, this way he can finally move on either with Claire or from her, since at the moment he is still hung up. Better regret having done something (trying with Claire one last time) than always wondering what if.

[@ertwro]

@@alex86fire Pff, She can’t even stand the name of Emily. She envies her. Envy is not about wanting something from someone else is about not wanting others to have it. Is not about wanting Mikey, not about winning, is about hurting Emily because she dared take away her toy.

During my bachelors years at uni I was attracted to a girl there. We knew each other, but never actually befriended each other.

Well, for that one night at least. Next two months turned into a freakshow of getting closer and driving apart, until I got my shit together, came to terms with the fact that she just did whatever was needed to keep me in the friendzone, *I’was not even the only one guy she’s been doing it to* - and severed that connection completely. Around that time I met another girl online, a month later we got together and spent the next 2,5 years together.

[@SkyDawg91]

@@Johnirsss Nah. Emily will end up heartbroken for a time, but she will be 100% fine. In real life, "Emily" ALWAYS ends up for the better in these situations. She'll meet someone else, move on, and live a happy life without regret, other than spending so much time on someone who literally can't make up their mind. "Claire" never changes, and "Mikey" will continue to NEVER learn. That's why this skit is so real.

@@SkyDawg91 unless mikey backpedals in the last LAST second, before things REALLY go south, then yeah, not a single parallel universe where mikey comes out on top in this whole saga, but because he's the main character(let's face it) they will probably try to spin this in a way that makes him look good and have a happy ending

[@SkyDawg91]

@@XD-bx6ee I would be pretty disappointed if somehow they let Mikey save face with Emily here. Truthfully, he doesn't really deserve a relationship with Emily. Even if he has some moment of clarity(pun not intended! lol!) and tells Claire to get lost on their way over to his house.

This really isn't a comedy anymore but I'm more invested than ever before

[@TheMike0088]

Dude I'm not even 3 minutes in and I had to pause. Leaving out the fact that claire is manipulative for a sec, being in love with someone - like so in love that it physically hurts - but you know that you'll never be with them, so you end up with this genuinely cool person who has been nothing but awesome and supportive towards you, and for a time there you've actually convinced yourself that you're happy. But then that one thing happens. Maybe you run into an old shared friend on the train, maybe you're scrolling through your photo reel and you come across memories you prefer to have remained forgotten, or like in this video, you have this perfect dream of that person and it just feels so real, and so much more right than whats going on with your current partner, till the bubble bursts and you wake up to the somber conclusion that you will never get to feel this way in your waking life... I don't know that everyone has had an experience like this, but if you had, the beginning of this video feels like a gut punch.

[@keithallen8693]

I may not have had the exact experience that you've described, but I know that feeling, and I just wanted to acknowledge you for sharing it.

[@moritz584]

I have had this exact experience. This video hits so well in a not very pleasant way.

[@baze3541]

I had that feeling in a dream comparing it to real life seems like real life is a nightmare😭

[@greigns7781]

I've had a similar experience, and I still feel the same way. I've just recently developed the self-awareness that things didn't work out because I was the problem. Me and her didn't date, but it really could've gotten to that point if I just picked up my sh*t and just waited it out. I mean, she didn't date anybody throughout all of HS while we were friends. It's far too late now, though. Me and her recently reconnected somewhat and were texting a lot, catching up on each other's lives, etc., but she stated that she's in a relationship that she's genuinely happy in.... so I just unadded her right there. If she's happy without me in her life, I should keep myself out of it. It still hurts making that decision, but it was the best thing for her

[@catdad626]

Between the lines, Claire is honestly a really tragic character. She's so insecure with both herself and her connection to her "friend" Mikey. It seems she only thinks she can feel safe with him while manipulating him as if she doesnt trust him fully to go all in if she does love him, or alternatively, she needs his approval as a man with ideals and commitment to someone else to feel desireable. When Mikey wasnt full on supportive, i think this "i love you" play is full-on desperation in maintaining her ego. We never see her express any self-love, nor confidence in her relationship with Blake. She gussies herself up, but her friend points out she doesn't normally; could she really be putting up a facade for everyone and be truly a sadist getting off of Mikey's misery? I doubt it, but hey we never know what these writers are gonna throw at us. Dont be Claire not just because it's wrong and hurtful; dont be Claire because you deserve better than 1) hinging your worth on others, and 2) if Mikey was actually worth being with, he would have stayed firm (ha) and said no. He's a perfect foil to Claire's "i need what i cant give myself," a slave to "what if" and ungrateful for what he has.

Ive been in a very similar situation. Trust me. It doesn't work. Women like this crave attention and when someone who's been seeking over them for a long time and then suddenly stop paying attention to them, they freak tf out. And as soon as you say something like "if I break up with my current gf, we can be together." And as soon as you do, she stops showing you attention. Because that's exactly what she wanted. Not you, just your attention. 😂 some women are so twisted.
