“Pick your poison,” you said.
What does that mean?
*
Just that you face a choice of symptoms.
*
What choice?
*
Between the anxiety of having relationships
and the loneliness of avoiding them.
*
It’s a choice everyone has to face.
Oh. Great.
*
Is there a third choice?
*
Some people think so.
*
They think it’s possible to avoid
both anxiety and loneliness.
*
What people?
*
They’re called addicts.
*
Oh. And what what happens to them?
*
They end up both anxious and lonely.
*
Shit.
*
*
And there’s no fourth choice?
*
There is, actually.
*
Really? What is it?
*
This.
