your tags made me laugh "unfortunately he cannot stop talking". this is so true. he wants so badly for his relationship with Phil to be ambiguous but he makes it so obvious what's going on bc he just never shuts up about it. I think it's funny that Phil said Dan crushes on mysterious bad boys bc that's so clearly what he wants to be. Unfortunately Dan is an open book and Phil is the actual mysterious one

^ tags in question for reference, on this post

omg yeah the fact that he yearns for the mysterious men is so funny like he wants what they have. unfortunately some facts about dan:

he over-explains because he doesn't like what he says to be misconstrued (me too bestie)

he was deeply anxious about his straight facade breaking but--

he doesn't like lying about himself to people because it feels inauthentic, something he values greatly

he doesn't want to have to explain everything but his need to control the narrative overwrote that want, up until recently

he just has a lot to say tbh. bit of a chatterbox. we love it

it's not even just about dnp's relationship either. that's why his videos like BIG and Why I Quit Youtube are so long. if he's diving into something, he has to break down every explanation he gives such that it can't possibly be construed in a way different than how he intends it. communication doesn't work that way tho and that's something he (and I) have both had to learn to accept.

unfortunately you can't be aloof and mysterious and also be authentic and up-front about yourself at the same time

#if only.#i could literally go on about this for hours btw.#this is why i fall more on the dan side of the 'are you more like dan or phil' scale #need to control how people interpret what i say so i overexplain everything #total chatterbox. revealed itself after i started antidepressants #val comes out of hiding #anon #ask
