[clap]

2
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
- That was a really good clap, that didn't
even look like it would be a good clap

3
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
- I know!
- Did you do that here?

4
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
- Yes I did like this-
[Clap]

5
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
[Gasp] Why does that sound better than
this? [clap]

6
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
[clap] This is why they show it in movies
when people clap like this

7
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I thought it was just fancy clapping but
that's how you should clap!

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
- We don't need Gabbie!
- They do it in post!

10
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
- Thank you so much for coming back Renee
- I'm so excited to be back

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
-This is Renee Arielle, a friend and also
an internet person

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
[laughs] Yup, you know last time I started
off being like

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
'oh, my life is a mess' but I didn't talk
about how I lost my job?

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
-Yeah
or what I did and I watched it back

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and I'm like, they probably have no idea
what I was talking about

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
- Why would they know anything about you?

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Today I wanna talk about how do you get
out of a toxic relationship?

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
- That's a good question
- Move. Change your name. [Phone ding]

19
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Allison! Your phone!
- It's because the food is gonna come!

20
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Ok fine
- And I have to answer the phone call!

21
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
- What's a mukbang?
- It's a [sigh]

22
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
- You sound like my aunt
- It's a type of youtube video

23
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
where people eat while they talk
- It's very popular

24
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It's very popular so you could do it
- Ok cool

25
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Do you mean your aunt that lives alone on
the farm that you're not aloud to talk

26
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
about in front of me?

27
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
- So anyway how do you get out of a
toxic relationship?

28
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I wanna to bring this up because I think
that recently

29
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
- What?
maybe Renee's been struggling with this

30
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
- [stuttering] I don't know why, that's
weird that you... yeah a little bit

31
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It's one of thsoe things that when you
haven't gone through it or haven't had

32
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
a friend go through it, you don't under-
you're like 'Just leave! Walk away!'

33
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
but it's harder than that!

34
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
- Because you start to equate the past
with the present or the future

35
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
so if it was good for one month two years
ago, you're like 'but that month!'

36
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
What if we get that month back!
- That's all you keep doing

37
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You strive for a moment in time that
just doesn't exist anymore

38
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The person your partner was in that time
doesn't exist anymore

39
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
There's issues that aren't gonna be solved
but in your mind you're like

40
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
'But what if?'

41
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Allison always says 'You gotta think about
what's going on right now

42
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and not romanticize the past or hope for
the future' right?

43
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
- I don't remember saying that, but it's
very smart!

44
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
One thing that my therapist taught me
that is really helpful is that

45
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
with people who give you attention and
then take it away, that's addicting

46
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
- yeah
It has the exact same effect on your body

47
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
as like drugs, or like anything else
people get addicted to

48
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and so you feel so helpless, and you're
like 'I don't understand why I can't just

49
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
cut this person out', but it's because
they have created it so that you are

50
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
addicted to them

51
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
- For me, it would be like, all in,
acting like nothing's wrong,

52
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and then out of nowhere:
stone cold

53
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
- Wow!
and like, leaves

54
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
[stammering] And I'd be so confused,
my brain wouldn't catch up with what was

55
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
happening, and I was just so confused, and
I wanted answers

56
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and at first you're able to distance
yourself, but after time it's cray what

57
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
you will forget
- Yes! and forgive
