I don't think denial is the right word.
Trying to just live with the things that bothered her didn't work, she kept losing her cool with Marten. Setting boundaries for Sven regarding the people around her didn't work, he's a grown man, he doesn't have to listen to her. So now she tries withdrawing from/pushing away the people who are upsetting her. From Dora's perspective that's a rational enough progression and it isn't as if she pushed Faye away forever. The door is still open.
Oh and by the way, thanks for the breadsticks photo, breadstick hentai is going to replace tentacle hentai as the stuff of my nightmares.

Well analyzed. "Denial" isn't the right word.
Where things went wrong from my perspective was when Tai said she was worried. Tai doesn't need to be pushed away as far as we know. Someone less rigid would have hugged Tai or talked things out. Rigidity isn't denial, it's often a necessary survival tactic, but it does compromise one's connection with reality in some of the same ways that denial does.

Depends if Marigold's baby Hanners dream was prophetic!

And the breakup with Marten was because.......he didn't want to be the bitch of the relationship?
--- Quote from: Neko_Ali on 03 Mar 2015, 19:11 ---Well, everyone who's been complaining about to much Clairten squee and not enough drama... there is your bomb.

Without drawing up too far into that mess, the biggest complaint i've seen about the last several Clariten strips was it was too ridiculously perfect. A little friction would've been okay in the discussion, to show that even thought the two of them are liking each other, there are gonna be some speed bumps here and there. That, or just shave off some of the dialogue and combine two strips into one strip and throw out another one of them.....I dunno, hurling puns while watching RWBY.
TRVA123:
I really don't know what Dora means by Sven "forcing her hand". It makes a little more sense in regards to Faye, but there are so many other ways to phrase that.
She could have said "I can't get pulled into their drama right now" or "I've decided that Sven is toxic, and the thing with Faye is still too raw to talk to her now" Either of those things would have made more sense than "they forced my hand".
I am glad that Tai left when Dora snapped at her, but I also expect Tai to initiate the make-up talk. I don't see Tai as letting Dora stew in her own juices for too long. A heartfelt talk about boundaries (and maybe about Dora's motivation for the Sven thing) would be nice and refreshing.
Tova:
If Dora continues to push away people who upset her, she will live a very lonely life.
