I'm sorry, but I really can't see anywhere that Marten is having difficulty functioning. Feeling sad from time to time is not the same thing.

Someone just linked to 1006, if you needed an example.
pwhodges:
I sorry, you call that: "having difficulty functioning"? Are we writing the same language?
akronnick:
Marten was having some anxiety but he got over it.
New relationships are stressful, a few jitters at significant moments (like the first "I love you") is to be expected. It's how we deal with those jitters that determines whether we can function. Do you tell your SO about your feelings, as Marten is doing here, or do you run screaming, unable to quiet the voices that tell you that doom is around every corner.

See, apparently 1006 is an example of a difference in perception. To me (and apparently others) it is evidence of a well-adjusted Marten (i.e. he doesn't just say "I love you" after it's said to him, and it doesn't scare him off either. Instead he expresses his doubts and discusses them with his SO like an adult). To you it's an example of "crippling self-doubt" for X (possibly just as valid) reason.

It has as much to do with what he's saying as the body language in the strip (jittering around, looking everywhere but at Dora/not making eye contact while he's explaining himself, etc.).
