Does Ian consider himself a sympathetic person?
- "Empathy only makes a difference when you start applying it to people that are outside your group."
Ian answers that he doesn't know how to act in social situations. Anisa interrupts and names his appearance on Hasan's stream as an example of it. He says his default is just staying silent because he "doesn't want to fuck other people's shit up."
Ian says he procrastinates a lot and so he doesn't finish tasks a lot. Says he is hyper-focused on the details.
Ian answers on the test that he never misses his best friends or family when they are apart for a long time. Then walks that back by saying "Yeah, I'll miss them, whatever."
Anisa interruption. Tells him to change an answer:
Anisa interrupts again: Anisa says Ian actually doesn't miss his friends and family OR HER OR HER MOM. Ian then changes the walk-back he did earlier back to "never true." (meaning he doesn't miss them). Ian says he just "needs distractions."
Ian reads the question, then looks down at his phone, then Anisa comes in with the food for the dogs.
Anisa says the dog just ate from the bowl on the counter, has to make a big deal out of it.
Ian answers that he only now understands when friends need to be comforted.
Ian answers that he likes to copy the way certain people speak and act.
Ian says he has anxiety when having to speak to multiple people at once.
A clip about the social family dynamics of the Jomhas and the Washburns.
Ian answers that he has difficult time understanding how other people feel when they are talking. Ian says people
NEED to tell him how they feel for him to understand.
Ian talks about his old fans:
- Ian says people "project" their "weird shit" on him, so he is not able to say anything weird. Says he's "too much of an adult" to care about it.
- Ian Quote: "People have made highlights of my streams mocking and talking shit. The things they highlight make me look good."
- Ian Quote: "I talked about how my biggest haters were my biggest lovers, and how hate and love are close together (example of something clipped from his stream). They thought I was psychotic. I am light years ahead of you." Talks about how when you go to a therapist you "hear this shit" all the time.
Ian Quote: "A lot of people said they took personal problems with me going on Anthony Padilla or making the apology. If you feel guilt about that and project it onto me, that's kind of your problem... I've dealt with enough of my fans to say I am being way too welcoming to a certain category of people that I don't want to be welcoming to."
Anisa interrupts with more cooking. Ian shows it off. It's chicken wings or something.
Anisa interrupts again with something. Ian answered earlier that he didn't have issues with the way words sound or with high-pitched noises. Anisa says Ian has issues with noises an ambulance makes. Ian says Anisa brought up just now that the sound of a word or a high-pitched noise can be painful to his ears. Ian brings up a story about how he saw a movie where a baby becomes deaf because of an ambulance siren and that's the reason he "plugs his ears" whenever an ambulance comes by.
Anisa: "(?) Ambulance!? You cover your ears!"
Question: "I cannot tell when someone is flirting with me." Ian says this is true now and when he was younger. Anisa needed to tell him when someone was flirting with him. Ian says he thought she was friendly or were only talking with him because he was famous (Looking at this clip again, I am still unsure if he meant to say that was the case with Anisa or with some random girl, but from the answer he gives and what we know about them both I am going to assume it applies to both).
Question: "When I feel overwhelmed by my senses, I have to isolate myself to shut them down." Ian first says it's not true, then answers this is true, and that "isolation helps."
Question: "I feel very comfortable with dating or being in social situations with others." Ian answers never true.
Question: "Sometimes a thought or a subject gets stuck in my mind and I have to talk about it." Ian answers not true, then says it is true and that Anisa would say that. Anisa then shouts from the kitchen that its true, and he changes it. He also admits he chews his nails.
"I am considered a compassionate type of person." Ian answers that is true only now.
Question: "I'm considered a loner by those that know me best." Ian says they'd call him a "lone wolf" or a "sigma." Ian calls himself the "lone sigma" and answers true.
Question: "How to make friends and socialize is a mystery to me." Ian says he knows how to do it, but that it's hard work "like taking a test you didn't study for", but he answers "true" anyway.
- Anisa interrupts him again, most likely from the kitchen as she's very shouty here. Ian answered earlier that it is "never true" that he feels anxiety with many smells, textures and bright lights happening and such. Anisa says this is wrong and that he does feel anxious when this happens. Anisa mentions when he boxes (?, she's a bit inaudible at this moment) and when they "went to the farmers market" as examples, telling him in a scolding tone that he "hates it."
- Ian says people are going to clip this as Anisa telling him how to feel
(Yes. I will be clipping this as Anisa telling you how to feel, Ian. Because that's exactly what this is).
Question: "I don't like to be hugged or held." Ian says there is a little truth to it, but not that much, and that he likes to be hugged, but that he's "not too crazy about it."
"I tend to point out other people's mistakes." Ian says no (never true), then says "let's think about the content I've made" then changes it to true. Ian says he does it "performatively" and that other people may answer it differently because of that.
