1. It's been four months
since you left inpatient.
Copy !req
2. Yeah,
I should bake a cake or something.
Copy !req
3. I know you're being sarcastic,
but that's actually a lovely idea.
Copy !req
4. Too bad I was being sarcastic, then.
Copy !req
5. But it'd be nice to mark the occasion.
You've come a long way.
Copy !req
6. What, you don't agree?
Copy !req
7. - I don't know.
- Ah, let's try something.
Copy !req
8. I want you to name three bits of progress
you've made over the past four months.
Copy !req
9. Come on, humor me.
Copy !req
10. You know I like my thought exercises.
Copy !req
11. Progress how?
Copy !req
12. Well, how about I start?
Copy !req
13. So you settled back in at school
in January.
Copy !req
14. I'm here if you want any extra support,
okay? Whatever you need.
Copy !req
15. Thanks.
Copy !req
16. - Go get 'em.
Copy !req
17. Obviously—
Copy !req
18. - Hey, Charlie!
Charlie!
Copy !req
19. - Hey!
- How you doing?
Copy !req
20. - Charlie!
- Welcome back.
Copy !req
21. Take a five-minute break,
all right, Charlie?
Copy !req
22. Don't push yourself too hard.
Copy !req
23. You okay?
Copy !req
24. Yeah.
Copy !req
25. Yeah, I mean, I had a lot of help.
Copy !req
26. I still relapsed two weeks after.
Copy !req
27. I know. It happens.
It's normal. We've talked about it.
Copy !req
28. But you continue
to criticize yourself about it.
Copy !req
29. - Does it weigh on you?
Copy !req
30. - Can you just eat half?
- I said I can't!
Copy !req
31. - You're not even trying.
- You're making me feel like shit.
Copy !req
32. If you're gonna make me feel insane,
just fuck off!
Copy !req
33. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
34. Sorry. I didn't mean to.
Copy !req
35. Self-harm relapses are normal.
They don't negate any progress you—
Copy !req
36. - I know.
- You are three months clean.
Copy !req
37. That's our second bit of progress,
isn't it?
Copy !req
38. Okay. Fine.
Copy !req
39. Happy?
Copy !req
40. Yeah, I'm delighted.
So progress number three. Let's hear it.
Copy !req
41. I've done the first two for you.
Copy !req
42. Me and Nick.
Copy !req
43. I don't know.
Copy !req
44. No, no, that's great.
Copy !req
45. So you feel you and Nick
have progressed in your relationship?
Copy !req
46. Yeah. I...
Probably since that night of the argument.
Copy !req
47. I guess we feel a lot closer.
Copy !req
48. I mean, he's seen me
at my absolute rock bottom
Copy !req
49. and hasn't run away screaming.
Copy !req
50. Now I feel like
I'm in relationship therapy or something.
Copy !req
51. Save that until you're ten years in
and having marital problems.
Copy !req
52. But I expect your progress has allowed you
to deepen your connection with him.
Copy !req
53. If your intrusive thoughts have lessened,
Copy !req
54. you've more energy
to give to your relationship.
Copy !req
55. More energy? Yeah.
Copy !req
56. I still feel like
I've got a long way to go.
Copy !req
57. Still have a lot of bad days.
Copy !req
58. Well, you've experienced trauma, Charlie.
Copy !req
59. Yeah, but I really don't want
to be defined by the fact
Copy !req
60. that I was bullied at 14
and had one toxic ex-boyfriend.
Copy !req
61. Trauma doesn't define you.
Copy !req
62. But it also doesn't vanish
in five minutes, so...
Copy !req
63. so give yourself some grace.
Copy !req
64. And you've got people around you
who love and care for you, so enjoy them.
Copy !req
65. Do you practice motivational pep talks,
or do they just come to you in the moment?
Copy !req
66. Oh...
Copy !req
67. You know, they just come to me.
I'm just a talented person.
Copy !req
68. Yeah, I think we're out of time here,
so I'll see you next week.
Copy !req
69. Oh, and enjoy your birthday,
and party hard.
Copy !req
70. Sixteen's one of the big ones.
Copy !req
71. How long
have you been working on that?
Copy !req
72. None of your...
Copy !req
73. Elle, wow, this captures
your spirit as well as your likeness.
Copy !req
74. Miss, how come
you never compliment my work like that?
Copy !req
75. Felix, I'd compliment your work
Copy !req
76. if you could actually show me
a completed piece.
Copy !req
77. She has a point.
Copy !req
78. Elle, I wanted
to talk to you about something.
Copy !req
79. We've had contact
from a local radio station about you.
Copy !req
80. - What?
Yeah.
Copy !req
81. They heard about your social media
and want to interview you.
Copy !req
82. "Local young artist
achieves Internet fame."
Copy !req
83. Okay.
Copy !req
84. Now, it's completely up to you,
Copy !req
85. but I want you to think about whether
it's something you feel comfortable with.
Copy !req
86. - I'll email you the details.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
87. Elle, that's so exciting.
You're literally famous.
Copy !req
88. - I'm not famous.
- You are.
Copy !req
89. - I am not.
Copy !req
90. Finish your painting.
Copy !req
91. Welcome back
from the Easter holidays, everyone.
Copy !req
92. Spring is in full bloom
Copy !req
93. while summer peeps out from the horizon
Copy !req
94. with all its endless possibilities.
Copy !req
95. So knuckle down, work hard,
and... and don't forget to have some fun.
Copy !req
96. - Happy birthday.
Copy !req
97. - Happy birthday!
- Oh! Nick!
Copy !req
98. Are you ever gonna get tired
of doing that?
Copy !req
99. Absolutely not, no,
but I did get you a present.
Copy !req
100. Okay.
Copy !req
101. It's that Instagram-famous
historian you like, Jack Maddox.
Copy !req
102. He's doing a book signing on Sunday.
Maybe we could go after the sleepover?
Copy !req
103. - Wait. We get to meet him?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
104. I love you so much!
Copy !req
105. Well, clearly not as much as Jack Maddox,
but I'll take it.
Copy !req
106. Do I also get a birthday kiss?
Copy !req
107. Yeah.
Copy !req
108. We should... we should probably...
Copy !req
109. Uh, yeah, yeah. Not at school.
Copy !req
110. It's almost form time anyway, so...
Copy !req
111. Sleepover on Saturday though.
Copy !req
112. Yeah.
Copy !req
113. Mm.
Copy !req
114. It happened again.
- When?
Copy !req
115. - Yesterday before form.
- What happened?
Copy !req
116. Me and Nick were making out,
and it got really intense really quickly.
Copy !req
117. Then it stopped, and it was
kind of awkward and overwhelming.
Copy !req
118. - Do you wanna say it? Or shall I?
- No, I think he's nearly worked it out.
Copy !req
119. Charlie, have you considered the idea
Copy !req
120. that you and Nick
are ready to take things further?
Copy !req
121. He's talking about sex.
Copy !req
122. Yeah, I know. I know.
Copy !req
123. And I know it's obvious we both want to.
It's not like we've done nothing.
Copy !req
124. I mean, it's all been over the clothes,
but sometimes when we're making out, we—
Copy !req
125. Ugh!
Copy !req
126. - Spare us the details.
- What? I want all the details.
Copy !req
127. I'm just scared
that he's not ready to... do anything more.
Copy !req
128. I'm scared
I'm not gonna know what I'm doing.
Copy !req
129. And I'm scared
he's gonna take one look at me and...
Copy !req
130. Well, when me and Elle started having sex,
it was in the spur of the moment.
Copy !req
131. An outburst of fiery passion
in the light of the New Year's fireworks.
Copy !req
132. Yes, we've all heard this story before.
Copy !req
133. Why you interested
in Charlie's sex life, not mine?
Copy !req
134. Get out. I need to change.
Copy !req
135. - What? We're talking about sexy time.
- I wanna talk about it! Charlie, why—
Copy !req
136. We know you like sexy time.
Copy !req
137. Everyone, uh, my parents are out,
Copy !req
138. but please don't break anything
or be sick anywhere, please.
Copy !req
139. Fine.
Yes, sir!
Copy !req
140. Sounds like a note for Imogen.
How have I got this reputation?
Copy !req
141. Drink that, you'll be sick.
- Careful.
Copy !req
142. - We'll have another vomit situation.
- Shh.
Copy !req
143. Just need a night off from everything.
Copy !req
144. Ew!
What are you guys doing?
Copy !req
145. We're making a potion
that the loser has to drink.
Copy !req
146. - Oh, Darcy, not crisps. That's so gross.
Ugh!
Copy !req
147. Darcy!
You guys are gross.
Copy !req
148. Things have been awkward
between me and Sahar since New Year's.
Copy !req
149. Like, we're still friends.
Copy !req
150. - I... I think.
Ooh!
Copy !req
151. I... I dunno.
Copy !req
152. Um...
Copy !req
153. Sounds like you should
probably talk to her.
Copy !req
154. Oh!
Copy !req
155. - Right.
I am not drinking that. No way!
Copy !req
156. That looks so gross!
Copy !req
157. Try it!
Copy !req
158. Charlie, we need a drummer
for our summer-fête slot.
Copy !req
159. You're literally the only person we know!
Copy !req
160. I... I don't know. I don't really like
performing in front of people.
Copy !req
161. Well, think about it.
Copy !req
162. That smells disgusting.
Copy !req
163. - Cheers?
- Cheers.
Copy !req
164. - Ugh!
- Oh, I'm so sorry.
Copy !req
165. - What is in that?
Everything!
Copy !req
166. Happy birthday, Charlie! Yes!
Happy birthday.
Copy !req
167. We love you.
Copy !req
168. Who made this cake?
I did.
Copy !req
169. - Guys, do you like it? I made it.
Best day ever!
Copy !req
170. I can do it. I wanna try.
Copy !req
171. We need a game.
Oh, yeah, games!
Copy !req
172. I have a really good idea!
Copy !req
173. - Would you like to play Never Have I Ever?
- Hello.
Copy !req
174. Charlie!
Copy !req
175. Do you have a friend we don't know about?
Copy !req
176. Hi, Michael.
Copy !req
177. Happy birthday.
Copy !req
178. Um...
Copy !req
179. Sixteen is when everything
starts to make sense.
Copy !req
180. Or when nothing makes any sense anymore.
Copy !req
181. Kind of the same feeling either way.
Beautiful chaos.
Copy !req
182. Yeah. Thanks.
Copy !req
183. Uh, this is for you.
I found him at a charity shop,
Copy !req
184. and he just had your energy,
so I figured he belonged with you.
Copy !req
185. Also, it made me sad seeing him
sitting on a shelf on his own, so—
Copy !req
186. Uh, okay. Well, um, bye, everyone.
Copy !req
187. Have a fun time!
Copy !req
188. Whoo! Bee-boo-bee-boo.
Copy !req
189. - So who's that?
- It's Michael.
Copy !req
190. It's... Met Tori a few months ago.
Copy !req
191. Is he Tori's boyfriend?
Copy !req
192. She won't confirm whether they're dating.
Copy !req
193. - Meow.
- Meow.
Copy !req
194. Meow!
Copy !req
195. Here goes. You're so tiny.
You'll fit right in.
Copy !req
196. - This is big.
I know.
Copy !req
197. It's nice.
Copy !req
198. - Very nice.
- You'd better put that down.
Copy !req
199. 'Cause this needs to be Tao and Elle time.
Copy !req
200. Have you decided
about the radio interview tomorrow?
Copy !req
201. I think I should do it.
Copy !req
202. It's a really cool opportunity.
Copy !req
203. I think so too. You're so talented.
Copy !req
204. - The world needs to know.
- Stop.
Copy !req
205. It's gonna be a whole chapter
of my Elle documentary.
Copy !req
206. Elle Argent, how are you feeling
about your radio interview?
Copy !req
207. - I will pour my drink on you. I will.
- No, no, no!
Copy !req
208. Things have been really awkward with us.
Copy !req
209. Yeah.
Copy !req
210. I've been doing a lot of thinking
and reflecting recently.
Copy !req
211. I have no idea who I am.
Copy !req
212. I don't know much about anything
at the moment, actually.
Copy !req
213. But what I do know...
Copy !req
214. is I don't wanna keep hurting you.
Copy !req
215. Do you hate me?
Copy !req
216. No.
Copy !req
217. I don't think I could ever hate you.
Copy !req
218. You helped me realize
something pretty big about myself.
Copy !req
219. I mean...
Copy !req
220. I guess I could say the same about you.
Copy !req
221. But you know
we'd be awful together, right?
Copy !req
222. Yeah. I know.
Copy !req
223. - I like us better as friends.
- Mm.
Copy !req
224. - Can we go get crazy drunk now?
Yeah, let's go.
Copy !req
225. - Yes!
- But let's start right here.
Copy !req
226. - Wine?
- Yeah. That's your drink of choice.
Copy !req
227. Is it sustainable?
I'm trying to do my bit.
Copy !req
228. Just drink it, Imogen.
Copy !req
229. - Happy birthday!
Copy !req
230. La-la-la!
Copy !req
231. Whoo!
Copy !req
232. Amazing!
That's the ticket!
Copy !req
233. It's Charlie's birthday!
Copy !req
234. Charlie Spring! Yay!
Copy !req
235. I'm sure you're lovely in other ways.
How is it?
Copy !req
236. Aww!
Copy !req
237. - Hello.
- Hello.
Copy !req
238. Have you started thinking
about uni options?
Copy !req
239. Mm. Gap year for sure.
I love staying at my gran's.
Copy !req
240. I think I wanna go to
a super old university and study history.
Copy !req
241. Like, dark-academia vibes.
Copy !req
242. - Yeah, totally.
Mm.
Copy !req
243. I'm thinking of doing,
like, business or politics.
Copy !req
244. Tara, what about you?
Copy !req
245. - Uh-huh.
Copy !req
246. I dunno.
Copy !req
247. - Nick?
Uh...
Copy !req
248. I'll probably just try and get in
somewhere local so I can stay here.
Copy !req
249. You want to stay close to Charlie!
Copy !req
250. Can we not talk about uni stuff right now?
Copy !req
251. Think you could do long distance?
I hadn't really thought about it.
Copy !req
252. You're going to Oxford, aren't you?
Copy !req
253. You're doing
all that Oxbridge prep stuff.
Copy !req
254. You're so smart. You'll get in.
Copy !req
255. - Tara?
Copy !req
256. That was a good shot.
Copy !req
257. - Tara?
Copy !req
258. Hey.
Copy !req
259. Oh, okay. I think...
I think you're having a panic attack.
Copy !req
260. It's okay. My... my therapist gave me
some exercises to help clear my brain
Copy !req
261. whenever I'm having thoughts
that I can't control.
Copy !req
262. Let's do deep breaths together.
Copy !req
263. Breathe in for three.
Copy !req
264. And breathe out.
Copy !req
265. And breathe in.
Copy !req
266. - And breathe out.
Copy !req
267. Let's do it one more time.
Copy !req
268. Okay?
Copy !req
269. We're in my house.
We're chilling. We've had a few drinks.
Copy !req
270. But everything's fine. Everything's good.
Copy !req
271. - Hey, Tara.
Copy !req
272. - Hey.
Copy !req
273. Are you okay?
Copy !req
274. Sorry. I was just...
Copy !req
275. Just stressed about everything right now.
Copy !req
276. Charlie was helping.
Copy !req
277. I'm fine. I'll be fine.
Copy !req
278. That was amazing.
Copy !req
279. - I'm so drunk right now.
Copy !req
280. Maybe you've had enough now?
Copy !req
281. I really like you.
Copy !req
282. I like you too.
Copy !req
283. Don't ever leave me.
Copy !req
284. I wasn't planning on it.
Copy !req
285. Let's, um...
Copy !req
286. let's get you some water. Okay?
Copy !req
287. - Come here.
Copy !req
288. - I've been thinking about something.
- Mm-hmm?
Copy !req
289. What's that?
Copy !req
290. You and me.
Copy !req
291. - We could... do things.
Copy !req
292. What kind of things?
Copy !req
293. We could...
Copy !req
294. have sex.
Copy !req
295. I, uh...
Copy !req
296. I think about it all the time.
Copy !req
297. Yeah.
Copy !req
298. Yeah. So do I.
Copy !req
299. Do you?
Copy !req
300. Yeah.
Copy !req
301. I know I wasn't ready in Paris, but...
Copy !req
302. that was a long time ago.
Copy !req
303. - We can go upstairs.
Copy !req
304. Char...
Copy !req
305. you... you're incredibly drunk.
Copy !req
306. When I'm sober, I'm scared that...
Copy !req
307. that you might just...
Copy !req
308. that you'll look at me and...
Copy !req
309. I... I think...
I think I'm gonna be sick.
Copy !req
310. Oh. Oh shit. Um...
Let's go to the toilet. Come on!
Copy !req
311. Wait! I'll hold your hair back!
Copy !req
312. Oh, I feel so ill.
Copy !req
313. Do you remember last night?
Copy !req
314. I remember running around in the garden,
Copy !req
315. and then we were in the kitchen.
Copy !req
316. And then...
Copy !req
317. Oh my God, I'm so embarrassing!
Copy !req
318. No. No, I'm... I'm glad you brought it up.
Copy !req
319. Yeah?
Copy !req
320. Morning, campers.
Copy !req
321. Mum and Dad will be back in half an hour.
Just so you know.
Copy !req
322. Oh God.
Copy !req
323. Clear up before going to see
that historian you're obsessed with.
Copy !req
324. I could make egg on toast.
Copy !req
325. I feel like you guys need
the egg on toast.
Copy !req
326. Did he stay over?
Copy !req
327. Yeah.
Copy !req
328. So? I can have friends over too.
Copy !req
329. Mm. Friends.
Copy !req
330. I'm nervous.
It's all right.
Copy !req
331. Where are we going?
Copy !req
332. How do you feel?
Copy !req
333. I'd feel less nervous
if you got that camera out of my face.
Copy !req
334. But this is history in the making.
Copy !req
335. Famous artist Elle Argent
for her big first interview.
Copy !req
336. And if you're lost for words, you can just
talk about what great parents we are
Copy !req
337. and how everything you've achieved
is thanks to us.
Copy !req
338. - Stop! Thanks, Dad.
Copy !req
339. All right. Come on.
Copy !req
340. Your parents and your boyfriend will have
to wait out here, if that's all right.
Copy !req
341. Um, you'll be great. Katy knows exactly
how to keep the conversation going.
Copy !req
342. And, uh, we're just through here.
Copy !req
343. It'll be great. You're amazing.
Copy !req
344. - Yeah.
- Okay.
Copy !req
345. Here we go.
Copy !req
346. Through here.
Copy !req
347. Sorry. We're just here.
Copy !req
348. - Ready to meet the love of your life?
- You're so jealous right now.
Copy !req
349. - I'm allowed a crush on a celebrity.
- I can't believe I'm about to be replaced.
Copy !req
350. Oh!
Copy !req
351. Hello.
Copy !req
352. - Hi. Hi.
Copy !req
353. Oh my God, he's so hot.
Copy !req
354. So good to see so many of us
united in our love of classical art.
Copy !req
355. Of history, philosophy, and of literature.
Copy !req
356. Just make sure you speak nice and clearly,
Elle. Shall we get started?
Copy !req
357. Okay.
Copy !req
358. Hello and welcome to Local Voices
with me, Katy Newnham.
Copy !req
359. I'm here this afternoon with Elle Argent,
Copy !req
360. a sixth-form student
of the Lambert School of Art
Copy !req
361. whose art has skyrocketed to popularity
on social media.
Copy !req
362. Tell us about that, Elle.
Copy !req
363. Um, well, I just started to post my art
to my social media,
Copy !req
364. um, just wanting to share it
with my friends and family.
Copy !req
365. But it just started to get
more and more likes,
Copy !req
366. and now I have over 50,000 followers.
Copy !req
367. That's amazing.
Is the attention at all overwhelming?
Copy !req
368. Maybe a bit. I mean,
that... that's a lot of people.
Copy !req
369. Now, much of your art explores
your identity as a young trans woman.
Copy !req
370. Why is that your focus?
Copy !req
371. Um, I'm very, very proud to be trans.
It's a big part of who I am,
Copy !req
372. so I like to explore and express that
in the art that I create.
Copy !req
373. And that's so important
right now, isn't it?
Copy !req
374. Yeah.
Copy !req
375. Trans identities are the hot topic
of the moment.
Copy !req
376. Some call it a culture war.
Copy !req
377. Feminists versus trans activists
and so on.
Copy !req
378. Last week, we had a feminist speaker
on the show
Copy !req
379. who talked to us
about the importance of same-sex spaces.
Copy !req
380. I think it's so important
we hear all voices and opinions,
Copy !req
381. so I'd love to hear your thoughts
on the debate.
Copy !req
382. Trans people aren't a debate.
Copy !req
383. We're human beings.
Copy !req
384. - Well, I mean, our speaker last week...
Copy !req
385. believed that the presence
of gender-neutral bathrooms
Copy !req
386. will increase cases of sexual assault
against women.
Copy !req
387. I'm very interested
to get your thoughts about that.
Copy !req
388. Well, your speaker last week
was transphobic, then.
Copy !req
389. It's a bit of a heavy topic,
isn't it? Let's move on to something else.
Copy !req
390. Okay.
Copy !req
391. Now, there've been rumors...
Copy !req
392. - We were told she was here to discuss art.
- Should we go in? Stop it?
Copy !req
393. which states that teachers
must inform parents
Copy !req
394. about students changing their pronouns.
Copy !req
395. Now, as someone
who transitioned very young,
Copy !req
396. I'd love to know how you feel
about the potential new law,
Copy !req
397. which could come in as soon as—
Copy !req
398. - Um, I... I think I need to go.
I'm sorry if I offended you.
Copy !req
399. She's a teenager.
This is not what we agreed.
Copy !req
400. It is inappropriate,
and it is manipulative, and...
Copy !req
401. You should be—
- It's okay, baby. Come on.
Copy !req
402. - Come on, let's go.
- Let's go. Let's go home.
Copy !req
403. - You'll be hearing from me.
Copy !req
404. You know you can't trust a Mesopotamian
to source your copper ingot.
Copy !req
405. Okay, who's got another question?
Copy !req
406. Uh...
Copy !req
407. Yes. Young man in the denim jacket.
Copy !req
408. I was just wondering
Copy !req
409. if you had any book recommendations
about queerness in Ancient Greece?
Copy !req
410. Now, that is a wonderful question.
Copy !req
411. That's a wonderful question
because I have just finished reading
Copy !req
412. the most enthralling book
last week while I was in Milan.
Copy !req
413. - There. Thanks for coming.
Thank you so much.
Copy !req
414. Um...
Copy !req
415. Hi. Uh, I'm a really big fan.
Copy !req
416. I probably wanna do classics at uni,
so you're a big inspiration to me.
Copy !req
417. Ah! That is so lovely to hear.
Classics was my favorite at school.
Copy !req
418. - What's your name?
- Charlie.
Copy !req
419. Well, Charlie,
Copy !req
420. study hard, and...
Copy !req
421. don't ignore your Latin vocab.
Copy !req
422. - Thanks.
Uh, what can I do for you?
Copy !req
423. Uh... m... Uh, me?
Copy !req
424. No. Um, nothing. It's...
Copy !req
425. Um, really... really interesting talk.
Copy !req
426. Really fun. The "Mesopotome" joke was...
Copy !req
427. - Yeah. Thanks.
- You're very welcome.
Copy !req
428. - Nice to meet you.
Copy !req
429. Uh, shall we... Yeah. Nice to meet you.
Copy !req
430. Oh! Um...
Copy !req
431. - Sorry. Um...
Hello.
Copy !req
432. - What would you like?
Copy !req
433. - Yeah, he's... he's really hot
- Oh my God!
Copy !req
434. - Oh.
Copy !req
435. - Should we stop?
Copy !req
436. No. I... Do you... do you want to?
Copy !req
437. No. No.
Copy !req
438. - Can I take this off?
Copy !req
439. Oh...
Copy !req
440. - All right, we should stop.
- No, no. Wait.
Copy !req
441. - I... I—
Copy !req
442. Door open, please, Charlie.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
443. Ah.
Copy !req
444. Had a nice time today?
Copy !req
445. Yeah.
Copy !req
446. Okay.
Copy !req
447. I'm nervous about taking my shirt off.
Copy !req
448. I... I don't look like...
Jack Maddox or anything.
Copy !req
449. - Charlie...
And...
Copy !req
450. And you know that I've got scars.
Copy !req
451. I know.
Copy !req
452. You know I really fancy you.
Copy !req
453. - Like, infinitely more than Jack Maddox.
Copy !req
454. Even though he's got a six-pack?
Copy !req
455. I don't care about that.
Copy !req
456. I like you
Copy !req
457. so much. I... I love you.
Copy !req
458. I want you.
Copy !req
459. I... I really did wanna carry on.
I really want—
Copy !req
460. Mum, have you seen my laptop charger?
Copy !req
461. Looked under the sofa cushions?
Don't worry. It was...
Copy !req
462. Maybe just not at your house, eh?
Copy !req
463. - Yeah.
Copy !req
464. I get into this headspace
Copy !req
465. where all I can think about
is how disgusting he'll think I look
Copy !req
466. 'cause I'm skinny and I've got scars.
Copy !req
467. Being skinny and having scars
isn't disgusting.
Copy !req
468. I know, and I don't actually think
I do look disgusting,
Copy !req
469. and I know
that Nick won't think that either.
Copy !req
470. I love him, and he loves me.
Copy !req
471. I don't understand why I get so anxious.
Copy !req
472. We've talked about how you get anxious
when you feel like you don't have control.
Copy !req
473. Part of intimacy
is trusting someone enough
Copy !req
474. to let go of some control,
Copy !req
475. and that's scary.
Copy !req
476. But as long as you and Nick respect
and trust each other
Copy !req
477. and you communicate and listen
to each other, then you're safe.
Copy !req
478. And as long as you practice safe sex.
Copy !req
479. You can get some free condoms
from the reception.
Copy !req
480. Oh, I— Obviously we will.
Copy !req
481. Just wish I was more confident.
Copy !req
482. Charlie, I think
you have a lot of confidence.
Copy !req
483. Aren't you the one
who confessed your feelings to Nick first
Copy !req
484. when you didn't even know
whether he liked you back?
Copy !req
485. I don't feel confident.
Copy !req
486. That's just a challenge
you're gonna have to face.
Copy !req
487. And not just with Nick,
but with every aspect of your life.
Copy !req
488. But I know you have it in you, Charlie.
Copy !req
489. I really do.
Copy !req
