I suspect that, if May is still going to the therapy sessions, at the next one, she's going to say something like: "This week, I learned that I have good friends who will sacrifice to help me. That frightens me because I don't know why they'd do that and I'm scared that I'll let them down!" Then, after some evasion, she'll list all the ways her friends annoy her, how much she treasures this and how much she loves them. Basically why, in the end, she'd prefer to fight to keep them, no matter how hard it is.

That's where her arc needs to go: To realise that she's loved and is allowed to love in return. Also to realise one or both parties will be annoying or will screw up on occasion. The determination of whether the friendship is strong will be if both parties are determined to rebuild afterwards.

I also wonder what a word association exercise might reveal!

I think May absolutely feels that way, but her actual response would be more like:

"Ugh, my turn? Fine. So it basically looks like things might not be as horrible as they should be, because my friends are okay, I guess, but it's fuckin' weird. Like, everything has been totally shitty for the last year, but for some reason, these people think I should have all this money? I guess that's a good thing, but I don't fuckin' need this more than some starving kid. And what if I fuck it up again? I'm already a shitty person; I don't need to screw everything up again."

Poor May. I hope she can realize she's allowed to open up and have good things in life.

I joined right after. That was almost a decade ago.

The only real reason to commemorate that inane thread is because it led to Paul becoming mod.

Case:
"Bzzzzt! YES YOU DO! Bzzzzt!"

Aversion therapy as it was meant to be ...

New strip up!

*POP*

Yes, you were right, Cornelius, if not for the reason you thought. *lol*

Gnabberwocky:
That might be the most outwardly kind and honest reaction we've seen from May. Is that a permanent change to her personality, do you think, or will she go back to being prickly after she gets the new body?

(I know lots of people were frustrated with the hate May was getting, so I just want to clarify there's no shame in that. She can act however she wants to/is compelled to.)
