lmao i love her

As someone who likes very much to be alone and never feels lonely, I really struggle with the idea that people can’t be by themselves without falling to pieces. It just doesn’t compute with me at all. I mean, I know humans are social animals blah blah blah, but I also feel like there’s a distinct lack of resilience in society generally, and not limited to any particular generation.

I feel this so much! And I guess its my own issues but I am always surprised how much personal information people are willing to share within 2 minutes of meeting me. Like first of all be careful who you tell your life story to, and second I dont know you what makes you think I care.

I feel like this is a very American thing, I just spent two months in Europe where I had British, Irish, and Dutch people tell me this very specific thing about how they visited and were amazed by how open Americans are about just talking about their life. Like each person could remember a very specific example of this happening to them and I'm just like....this is normal

This comment is kind of funny when you look at FFAF posts

She's a close-talker.

That's a good Seinfeld reference that I appreciate. Does that show hold up? Ehhh. But some things do. And that is one of them.

I'm not at all surprised her show has lasted as long as it has, though I can't say it's a thing I watch regularly. Clips here and there, sure, but all things considered I understand her appeal to the daytime audience crowd and to celebrities. I'm not commenting on the SCABing thing during the writer's strike here, as that's a different conversation and it is what it is now.

Buuut, maybe don't be all up in the faces of others. As it has made me recoil as a viewer of those clips. There's a way to listen to others, care about what they are saying and engage, and have people be comfortable to chat on a couch without the internal desire I have to scoot away when I see her speak with others on her show like that.

Just basic boundaries and that has nothing to do with the pandemic.

She strikes me as someone who just gets super excited and engaged when talking with people that I think she does it more subconsciously without meaning to. I am also someone who likes my personal space - but something about her is very charming, where even I wouldn't mind her closeness. But I know thats just me....

[syzygy09]

I understand that completely and I don't disagree with you

The pandemic is precisely why her style of interviewing grosses me out. Even pre-pandemic, getting THAT up-close and personal is too much even for friends. The producers clearly set up the couches to respect pandemic distancing and she'd literally crawl over on the floor just to drape herself on her guests' lap. I think the showrunners eventually gave up and just had her and her guest sit on a long couch so it's not that blatant. But the interview she did with Pamela Anderson was so uncomfortable to watch, especially when it was around the time when Seth Rogan's "biopic" of her (made without her consent) came out. Idc that they're both women, Pamela Anderson has had her autonomy and consent stolen from her for most of her life and here is Drew doing that once again in front of a live studio audience. And you can tell Pamela was not at all okay with it given how straight and tense she was sitting.
