c’mon, that can’t be it - >!isaac being rude and unfair to colin for days (weeks?) “just” because he was hurt colin hadn’t told him he was gay!<.

throughout the episodes i kept thinking: there must be something more, something deeper. >!when isaac showed up at colin’s place i was sure we’d get some emotional story or insight into isaac’s life. but no:!<

!“you lied to me. for years.” !<

!and:!<

!“What is it about me that made you think you couldn’t tell me?”!<

!i GET that isaac would ask himself that. but colin didn’t keep just this from him, he kept it from anyone; why would isaac feel that he should take it so personally? yes, the two of them have been shown to have some bond over bullying nate in S1, but other than that i don’t remember them being shown to be sooo close that it would justify isaac making the whole thing about himself.!<

what am i missing here?

    Issac could easily have RSD (Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria.) If so, his reaction is pretty spot on. If you’re affected by it, even small things can feel like a depressing blow. If your BFF was keeping a secret from you, you’d be like WTF did I do to deserve this!? I guess we’re not actually friends at all.

    It’s really annoying to have.

    Side question: in the last episode, >! at the wedding, is Issac’s girl possibly Colin’s boyfriend’s sister? The two dates seem to give each other a knowing look when the camera pans the gathering. !

      Thats interesting. I have never heard about that, but it does seem to fit pretty Well with how i would describe Isaac. (And Roy). I saw somewhere that said the Girl was Anastacia, the one Nate went out with. But i don’t think it is. I feel like they focus on her long enough that it would be some kind of Callback to something. But i don’t know what.

      Why does everything have to have a clinical diagnosis on Reddit? People make medical and psychological diagnoses for every situation. It wasn’t like Colin didn’t tell Isaac he had a third nipple or didn’t finish school. His was a major deal. He knew he was gay since he was a child.
