You're thoughtful. You write poetry for your partner, and buy them gifts when the heat gets to be too much. But your self-consciousness can get in the way sometimes; you're too embarrassed to share your poetry, and you go a long time without saying "I love you" out of fear that they won't say it back. Learn to open up. Learn to be vulnerable with another person. Otherwise, how will you ever really love them?
Otherwise, you might end up standing side by side beneath the fireworks on the fourth of July, and they'll look at your face, beautiful in the red and blue light, and they'll wonder if you really love them. And they'll think back to that night, over and over again, the way your face looked, and they'll think maybe you never did. And they'll cling to every gift you ever gave them, desperate for proof that you cared. And they may realize that these problems are just as much theirs, that it takes two to play this game, but god couldn't you just have loved them better? What if you each could have been enough for the other? It would've been so nice to be happy together.
This was amazing, I've seen a couple of these personality quizzes that take an unexpected turn into narrative writing, but this is the best one of those that I've read. The result I got also felt really on point
This is genius. The direction the game took is so riveting. Never expected the form of a Buzzfeed quiz to just go there and reflect the worst parts of all of us.
i dunno, it resembles me in a way I don't like, I got sweet but aloof. I don't like showing affection, but I do. I just don't want to be stupid, I have this guy named Y that i'll call him since that's his initial. I don't want to be an avoidant lover I want to be able to express everything I feel, nothing is ever his fault, not his problems, not his life, not even his friends who haven't done anything to me but I don't like for some reason, those things aren't his fault. I never feel like he's done anything to deserve those problems and I try to carry them all , each time we find our way back to each other again. I was never proud of myself as a kid and I never experienced the love and praise I probably should've gotten from my mother but my Y gives me all of that and more and it's unfamiliar and uncharted territory, I would think I would have gotten used to it after dating him for a year, but I haven't. There are days where I feel like I can do anything and those are usually with him, but sometimes I don't feel those days because of something that happened that didn't have to do with him, which meant I can't hold a simple conversation. I'm a man, a man who yearns but half the time I feel like the yearning isn't enough to hold myself and him up. I'd watch him if we ever watched the fireworks together. I've replayed this game to try to see if there's a better ending almost as many times as i've gone back to him. Each time I still get the aloof one. I try to mix things up in both the game and me and him and it still follows the same way.
I played this game because I've recently discovered my place in the aromantic community, and I think it's kind of just closure for myself, I can't explain it.
I hope you know you're an amazing author. Look at the way you've shown affection and complication. Look at how the player sounds so impatient agreeing to the fireworks. That's something most people work towards for their entire lives. Please know how incredibly talented you are.
daaaaaaaaaaamn. I thought it was going to be something silly. something with dumb questions like pretty much any quiz of this kind. I didn't expect it to not only to be so touching but to also figure me out correctly... 10/10, imma throw this to some friends.
god damn i came here to take a funny quiz and not get my heart broken all over again.
stupid thing is this was exactly my ex and i, down to the fireworks and how we've been getting distant, breaking up right after watching the new year's fireworks. he was anxious, i was avoidant. it made me feel like i was talking to his mind again.
NOOOOOO WHY DID YOU REMIND ME im crying bro thank you i was just curious and now well i get my answer very well thank you so much and i hope it hurts when u pee.
the "questionnaire" seems to have the anxious attachment style, while the speaker is avoidant... hmm.. kinda wished for the opposite, but then it wouldn't really make sense for the avoidant to reach out?
did this as a joke but now questioning myself...whomever reads this I hope your life is full of great things and you have your love by your side always, if we don't meet again good morning, good afternoon, and goodnight
I don’t know, I think this definitely took a turn, but I just found myself conflicted on how to answer since most of it was either a decision on truth or curiosity. For example, should I answer based on what I would do in this specific situation and based on my past relationships or look for more of the story? filling in the pieces. But that’s from my standpoint; it might have just been because I was expecting more of a quiz than a personal bickering with a game. Still very entertaining, though, wanting to know how this bantering started and how it was going to end was the only thing keeping me playing though.
I cried. Maybe because my partner and I fought last night about how I should be more kind, how I should be more clear that I love them. How I'm too critical, and too untender. We talked about breaking up, and we said we should fight harder, because we're not ready to break up yet. Wow. Thank you for the game.

i loved it, it was beautifully gut wrenching, the end answer kind of makes you think, reflect, you know? thank you for sharing this game.
this was so gutwrenchingly beautiful. crying real tears. 10/10 best quiz i've ever taken
bawling
beautiful game & beautiful writing. brb while I cry. thanks, stranger.
your work is absolutely incredible and completely heartbreaking. 10/10
thx for the free psychological damages
(but for real had a good time, well written)
Lo que me sorprende es que tuviera razón hasta cierto punto. Por algo sigo soltera.
YOU GOT: Sweet, But Aloof.

oh wow
This was actually beautiful. Confusing at first but it's perfect
Unexpectedly very good, I thought it'd be just a silly thing to pass the time but it was time well passed

this is so beautful... felt this in my soul

daaaaaaaaaaamn. I thought it was going to be something silly. something with dumb questions like pretty much any quiz of this kind. I didn't expect it to not only to be so touching but to also figure me out correctly... 10/10, imma throw this to some friends.
"Do you want to watch the fireworks?
Fine."
Wow. Simple, yet harrowing. I felt 18 again going through a break up like no other. 10/10.
god damn i came here to take a funny quiz and not get my heart broken all over again.
stupid thing is this was exactly my ex and i, down to the fireworks and how we've been getting distant, breaking up right after watching the new year's fireworks. he was anxious, i was avoidant. it made me feel like i was talking to his mind again.
