OKAY EVERYONE IS ASKING ME TO DO THEIR FAVE SONGS SO LET’S DO THIS SWIFTIES *NOTE: I’M NOT TRYING TO OFFEND ANYONE OR TRIVIALIZE TRAUMA THIS IS JUST A PATTERN I’VE NOTICED AMONG ME AND FRIENDS*:

-the 1: you dwell too much on possibilities and the past, probably now too afraid to commit to a relationship because of the past

-cardigan: you really just want the approval and love of others so you probably live to help others to the point where it’s self destructive

the last great american dynasty: you have a tendency to daydream and raise expectations way too much, it gets to a point where everyday life becomes disappointing

exile ft. bon iver: either you personally experienced or your parents had a very bad/toxic relationship

my tears ricochet: you have a hard time letting people in/trusting them, probs bc you were betrayed by someone you trusted and still haven’t recovered

mirrorball: you just want to be liked bc you have intense anxiety (probs social), you will do anything to be praised/liked

seven: you have childhood trauma that still affects you, this song is your attempt at getting a normal childhood by living vicariously

august: you have self destructive tendencies when it comes to relationships (typically romantic) bc you don’t know if you can be truly loved

this is me trying: you’re obviously going through it and i hope you get to where you want to be... i believe in you

illicit affairs: you’ve made mistakes in your romantic life and it still haunts you til today, probs thought you had the upper hand but it all bit you in the end

invisible string: you get way into your own head a lot of the time and don’t know how to escape it

mad woman: you’ve been hurt or betrayed by the men in your life

ephipany: you’ve most likely lost someone very important in your life, probs healed by now but you still miss them intensely every now and then

betty: you’re gay... is there more to say i don’t think so

peace: you have abandonment issues that have lead to your own insecurities in love and/or life

hoax: hopelessly loyal to the point of self destruction, probs been betrayed by either someone you love or possibly your own mind

omg ok imma just say that this thread is NOT THAT DEEP everything i tweeted is just coincidental patterns i noticed among me and my friends if it resonates with you - awesome. if it doesn’t - that’s fine too! i only tweeted this thread bc a lot of people asked for it
