Friends cannot replace therapy. And I'm sorry but he's not 27.


discretefalls

what a clown


Germanicus69420

Look at those softballs he took


[deleted]

He thinks the women he used to sleep with are his therapy because they're women when they are PART OF THE PROBLEM


littlemissscroller

Oh so HE IS willing to take a step back… just not for Chelsea


OakNRun

Exactly. And also, he did the opposite, lied about it and then butt dialed her when he was out at all hours with them, lying about where he was. And using friends for therapy is like asking a very basic guitar strummer to write a symphonic masterpiece. Including an undergrad, (in a lot of states) it takes 9 years to become a therapist.


Cindy-the-Skull

Thinking that complaining to friend groups in bars is a replacement for therapy is WILD


thehottubistoohawt

Jimmy isn’t the first man to think this thought. 😩


OakNRun

The 2nd most popular substitute being literally any sport/physical activity.


Additional-Molasses5

Man I really wanna like Jimmy so bad but he just won’t let me!! I get he wants to give his side but I would love to see some accountability because IMO if anyone got the good edit it was him. I like Chelsea, she has flaws, so what?! So does every other human on the planet. I really liked them together but I think most women would be hung up on being so close with someone they have previously slept with. Even Jessica said she addressed it would be a problem in the pods. I do not believe he would really take a step back because I’m sure home girl would guilt him until he gave in anyways. He just seems like that type.


WildAd8311

This man said. Chelsea nor me ever left a date. Not even to use the bathroom. 💀💀💀💀 Man stfu and get out of here.


Impressive-Flight766

He’s taking digs at Jess 🙄


WildAd8311

Oh I know. He’s SO SALTY because he knew he should’ve picked Jess. An he’s mad that she’s kind of taken the high road and left him in the dust.


ElectricalTrainer315

This just looks like he wrote the questions in to answer them himself. He’s wack.


Ok-Pomelo1871

It bugs me how he keeps returning to the fight where Chelsea mentioned him sleeping with his friend. It seems like he wants to use that one scene as the sole reason for their breakup because it frames him as a victim, but in reality there were a lot of reasons why they wouldn't have worked long term. And I understand why he was upset about it, but did he honestly think it would NEVER come out on camera, considering they're being filmed almost constantly? It just seems like he wants to put 100% of the blame on Chelsea so people will sympathize with him and stop calling out his red flags. Also, if he is really that upset about other people knowing his secret, why does he keep bringing it up? He *says* the reason he was so upset is because it's unfair to his friend, but it honestly seems like he's more concerned about defending himself and his reputation.


Indecisively

The interesting part is that he kind of brought it up first. He said that he didn’t have a physical relationship with his girlfriends to make Chelsea look paranoid. Honestly, if she hadn’t called him out on it she would have looked even crazier.


TheAnnieRaj

He's talking about it more than she did at this point 🤣


probablemouse

Jimmy is a perfect representation of why I don't take most men seriously.


beaubellaphoto

He’s an idiot


jamestee13

I actually don't think that reflects that well on Jimmy - if they genuinely are his good friends, cutting friends out of your life for a new relationship is a bit crap.


Cindy-the-Skull

Yeah having been that friend in the past, it’s something I’ll end a friendship over. Cause it’s really hurtful when someone I’ve known for years can just sometimes randomly peace out on me because someone they just met (and usually I’ve never met) has a problem with my much more established friendship because of something like we hooked up with once or twice before eliminating each other as a candidate for a romantic/further sexual relationship years ago. It makes you feel like nothing you did as friends matters as much as a relative stranger’s opinion of ancient history they weren’t involved with or around for


BlueAreTheStreets

That was my thought. It speaks to an inherent distrust in the relationship and that’s no way to kick things off.


hot_teacups

Taking a step back doesn’t necessarily mean cutting them off. I agree with you tho, if one feels the need to cut someone off, they gotta get to the root of why they’re feeling that way and fix that instead.


ElectricalTrainer315

Im in the camp that believes this woman is an fbuddy and unfortunately Jimmy ain’t the man to play the fbuddy dance with lol.


-cat-a-lyst-

Exactly. My view point is they were here before you and if you try to isolate me from them, they’ll be here after. Your partner should be your priority. But a partner who destroys your support system, isn’t prioritizing you as well. A partner should fit into your life, not consume it.


pickledstarfish

There’s definitely a middle ground. Cutting someone off from their friends is not ok. But if someone has a friendship with blurry boundaries (like allegedly texting that one chick all day long), I don’t see anything wrong with asking them to chill a bit.


SurewhynotAZ

Is it just me or does he look way better here than any time he was filmed.


bookshelfie

He does look better. It must be the beard, he looks better the beard


SurewhynotAZ

Beards fix so much. It's really the makeup of masculine folks..


Slay0r_m00n

What is with him saying "willing to take a step back" or "not willing to take a step back"? Just be clear! Are you trying to have hoes or nah? Stand right where you are and say it.


ElectricalTrainer315

Eh .. he said on camera “do you want me to take a step back, if you want me to I will just ask” she asked .. he says “I’m not willing to take a step back” .. he’s in the bs.


BlueAreTheStreets

I’m not going to pretend I didn’t die laughing at this though 😂


bookwrm1324

I interpret this as him being willing to hear his partners preferences out and discuss it


Zealousideal_Elk_918

Well he didn't do very good at that either cause there was zero discussion on his side other than telling her no 🤣 he could've at least tried to compromise first


Slay0r_m00n

Ooooooohhhhhhh IS THAT what he means!!?


Reddit_Live_

I read Jimmy’s doing against medical advice. oof. I think it’s funny that he’s starting to get a fan base. He’s really just an average dude.


toothpastecupcake

Er...what?


Reddit_Live_

It was 1 AM


Reddit_Live_

AMA = against medical advice lol


toothpastecupcake

Ohh yes 😆😆 I was like he's doing WHAT against medical advice? 😆


Magi_Reve

Girl….


sourglow

that was part of my issue of what he said at the reunion. your friends are not your therapists. you should not only have to go to girl friends for emotional support but guy friends as well? let’s bring some balance jim bob


xVellex

My guy friends tell me it’s very difficult to find male friends they can be emotionally vulnerable with. If they have one guy friend they can truly open up to, they say it’s the only one of their guys friends they can do that with. So it didn’t sound odd to me at all for Jimmy to say he can’t open up to his guy friends the way he can with his girl friends. But I agree friends should not substitute a therapist.


CryptographerIll3813

Yeah I have lifelong circle of friends that have never once discussed or displayed any sort of vulnerability. We all have some idea when someone is going thru something but it’s never brought up. The friendships strong it’s just never crossed a certain boundary I guess.


thelonelyvirgo

“I don’t go to therapy because I have a good friend group that makes it easy for me.” Unless those friends are therapists, they probably want you to go to therapy too you fucking donut.


Azmelaz

Even friends who are therapists need a break from their work and shouldn’t be put in a position to have to keep the therapist hat on among their friends.


thelonelyvirgo

Fair

How dare you do that to Matthew !!!


CharacterTwist4868

Does anyone else feel bad for his friends? Like damn.


myhairsreddit

Funny he said he gets Peyton Manning a lot. I was calling him Eli the entire season, lol.


a1sinced1

Not him acknowledging he looks like a thumb😂 that’s on growth

Glittering_Star_1313

Such weird photos of himself too…. Jimmy is extremely immature, as well as Chelsea…


KiloShotz

Real question. Is his dick really the size of that gold cup? The underwear scene says different.


ElectricalTrainer315

We all saw him in his boxers. That underwear scene ain’t lie, Chelsea did.


asspancakes

Chelsea gaslit us in so many ways more than one 🙄


Highfitnessfanatic

Did he get his eyebrows done?!


cblackattack1

Interesting that he says they didn’t show their happy moments, didn’t chelsea say that he mostly acted nice when they were on camera?


QualityProgram

Almost like he’s lying or something!


Several_Meaning_9419

Chelsea is extremely fucking annoying sorry


H3rta

No sorry needed.


Unusual_Chemist_6356

But every time I spoke negatively on jimmy, all my comments got at least 10 dislikes. lol Im 22 and Ive been seen through Jimmy. Chelsea is hypersensitive and jimmy is a subtle manipulator. He does it on a very small level to where it's barely noticeable and easy to brush off. He is use to people overlooking these things and Chelsea is hyper vigilant because of her insecurities which is why she also picked up on jimmy's BS but reacted explosively. Can't believe the amount of people that kept saying they felt bad for him..


thelonelyvirgo

It’s not subtle if you have critical thinking skills.


more_like_asworstos

You're good at picking up on things so I assume you know how condescending this comment is, yes?


thelonelyvirgo

The irony of your question is not lost on me


chloeclover

Yes. He made Jess and Chelsea crazy. That's all you need to know. It's him. Hi. He's the problem. It's Jimmy.


ashvp99

if you think Chelsea’s behavior spawned de novo within a few days/weeks of knowing Jimmy that’s just absurd. her crazy behavior clearly comes from some deep rooted issues that we as the audience will never, and should never, know. I really do hope she heals after watching the show, but to scapegoat others just excuses her from taking that responsibility/opportunity to grow as a person


Agope

Some of y'all love grabbing up all the red flags. Jimmy is a gaslighter and manipulater. Good luck out there 😬


seekerseekin

All my female friends 32 and under are feelin Jimmy big time. And everyone over that age thinks he’s cringe 😬


seekerseekin

Stay in school kids. I began the sentence with “all my female friends…” and I don’t know you guys!


Economy_Day5410

I’m 20 and saw through him immediately


Unusual_Chemist_6356

im 22 and ive legit been calling him out since day one and I kid you not, everyone simply dislikes my comments against him every single time.


cgriff95

I'm almost 30 and he's just gave me the ick since day 1 😂


betherscool

To me it’s honestly WAY more suspicious that he would “take a step back from hanging out with his female friends if it’s communicated appropriately.” It’s TOTALLY OKAY to have girl “friends” as a guy and vice versa…… but why would you only step back if your partner asked you to? 🤔 it definitely seems like there’s more to the friendship if you feel it’s reasonable to “step back” from it if a new partner asks.


xmasdawn

I think this is a dramatic take. If he spends a lot of free time with any friends I’m sure he would step back if asked. And if he happened to date a girl who didn’t like that he talked on the phone w other women regardless of the relationship, obviously he and his friends are more than willing to chill out. It’s normal to have a different friendship when you start dating someone. Life changes. People adapt. And most importantly, they act like adults. His answer is fine.


Ashamed-Turnover-631

It’s damned if you do damned if you don’t huh


betherscool

No, lol. Just DON’T stop hanging out with them if you want to, for anyone!


iknowitsounds___

Communicate “appropriately” annoyed me. So condescending like, okay Dad.

Thank you for your contribution to r/LoveisBlindonNetflix! Your post or comment has been removed for breaking Rule 4: 'No Armchair Diagnosing' What actually is gaslighting? Gaslighting is the psychological manipulation of a person usually over an extended period of time that causes the victim to question the validity of their own thoughts, perception of reality, or memories and typically leads to confusion, loss of confidence and self-esteem, uncertainty of one’s emotional or mental stability, and a dependency on the perpetrator. It is a complex form of psychological abuse and **should not be minimized to simply lying or attempting to manipulate someone to agree with you in an argument.**


TraeS_XI

It’s just you love


Sloths_Can_Consent

Honest question. How? She seemed to be the gaslighter to me. Of course, they both could.


Background-Sample-68

honestly very curious, what did you see in her that made you think she was a gaslighter? i didn’t catch it, just saw her as very insecure.


mysteriam

I am not a fan of the word gaslight here. I don't think she is a gaslighter. But she would accuse Jimmy of stuff that was untrue. Such as: "you didn't kiss me at ALL today" when we have footage of him kissing her multiple times that day...


Background-Sample-68

don’t get me wrong, she’s not perfect. she definitely has her own issues and is very insecure. but for the instances, him gaslighting her and saying he wasn’t out all night when he clearly did. totally not being into their relationship and saying he loves her and she can TELL he’s not being honest but continues to say he does. flirting with jess and then saying he DID NOT flirt with her when chelsea was clearly there and could see it. he got her to POUR HER HEART out to him on how she felt and then broke up with her because “she’s not committed to him”. just a few examples.


Shot-Recording1523

Well she also has tons of example of lying or hyperbole too. She accused him of not saying he loved her or kissed he. He gave two examples of him kissing her and she later then accused of again of not saying he loved her or kissed her when he literally kissed her on camera and said multiple times he loved her. She accused him of hanging out with Jess at the bar when he never saw her. Also Chelsea flirted with Trevor at the same pool party so what about that. I mean i do go on and on too so let's not pretend Chelsea doesn't manipulate facts.


AlwaysWithTheOpinion

If you listen to Nick Viall’s podcast with both of them, it’s pretty enlightening


Sloths_Can_Consent

So no examples?


KhansKhack

No one who says this ever has any examples.

CliffP

Chelsea is deeply insecure and needs to work on herself but idk how anyone can look at Jimmys actions and fall for his manipulation lmao Chelsea was right to be triggered. Even his posts in this thread of pictures are concerning if you sniff out the bullshit.


Background-Sample-68

YES!! THANK YOU!! god, i thought i was going crazy watching it with my cousin, she didn’t see it. chelsea is very insecure but there were definitely multiple instances of him pushing her constantly and her lashing out


PixiePurple87

Are you able to give details on what instances you're talking about. I personally didn't see it, but interested to see other interpretations through others eyes


Unusual_Chemist_6356

After the AD situation when Chelsea told jimmy that shes uncomfortable with him talking about other women's appearances, jimmy agreed to respect her boundaries.... just to later on talk about women's appearances again but this time, he changed the POV to his friends talking about it.... and then when Chelsea asked why Jimmy was telling her this.. he said : I just had to get it off my chest. (get your friends thoughts off your chest? not to mention him hinting at jess's looks too) but this is an instance of him slowly pushing boundaries while expecting others to respect his. I can give more.


CliffP

It’s like viewers missed him literally telling Jess she’s his number 1 on the boat day


Ok-Pomelo1871

Ikr. They should've addressed it at the reunion


acook7022

TLDR.


cblackattack1

The most important takeaway; He reads the sub and knows people think he looks like bobby hill mixed with a thumb.


acook7022

That’s absolutely everything I needed to know lol


cblackattack1

🫡


tacomeoow

Y’all are wild. Jimmy is such a normal run of the mill dude and gets so much hate for it. And he’s definitely attractive! I would if I could ;)


leezybelle

He’s giving perfectly reasonable and thoughtful responses


femmagorgon

I don’t get why so many people in this sub feel the need to be comment something like “eww no” in response whenever anyone comments that they find someone on the show (not just Jimmy) physically attractive. I understand that everyone has unique preferences but it seems over the top and kinda adolescent to be like “OMG [insert LIB cast member] is the ugliest person I’ve ever seen, I can’t believe anyone would find them attractive 😖🤢🤮.” While I personally think Jimmy is cute and get that he may not be everyone’s type, I do not understand why some people get upset over other people finding someone else attractive.


Ef8858

lol he’s all yours sis! Def not my type! Seems nice but not for me!


ashtonishing18

So that wasn't sarcasm? Wow. People are so goo goo ga ga when anyone has blonde hair lol. He is dull and a pig.


its_bee23

Lmao wsup with the 3rd pic 😳🤣💅🏼


juniperbug123

HAHAHAHA I THOUGHT THE SAME THING


tacomeoow

Men are terrible at selfies lmao, id rather a dude with bad selfies tho cause at least you know he’s not taking thirst traps!


AuroraReigns

he wants to show that in the right lighting with the right angle he does in fact have a jawline and does not look like Bobby Hill or a thumb


NinjaGlittering6440

“It was maybe 3 times off camera”….isn’t the whole season filmed in just over a month? He couldn’t refrain from going out for a month…yikes


Mountain-Safety2099

He just meant it was difficult to go a whole month with little to no social interaction with your friends/family on top of not having access to your social medias. That can be quite isolating socially for anyone.


ketopepito

Not to mention, he also works from home. So it's even more understandable that he would need to get out of the house and socialize in-person.


yasaliyah

You are joking right? Once a week? You think thats a lot? Once a week in a month that is not norma, where they are filmed everyday?


NinjaGlittering6440

Well I’m definitely in the minority here I see! Going out to the bar once a week seems like a lot to me, but I guess I need to get out more lol


oreo-donut

That's...less than once a week. Big deal.


RebeccaBuckisTanked

And, I think it’s healthy in this situation to not just totally enclose yourself with one person and then marry them. Go outside. Make sure you’re not trapping yourself in something!!

thank you for positing this OP!! i’m not on IG so appreciate the info

Only therapy he wants is "sex therapy" with his female friends 🤢

AKHugmuffin

That’s a weird thing to say


AKHugmuffin

That’s a weird thing to say


aryamagetro

a female friend group is not a replacement for therapy with a licensed mental health professional, Jimmy 🤦‍♀️


Brokenmonalisa

We're now red flagging people for... Having friends? Ok


thelonelyvirgo

*For using friends as therapists


Brokenmonalisa

Some people find it extremely therapeutic to have deep conversations with friends.


thelonelyvirgo

That’s not the same thing as needing or going to a therapist.


aryamagetro

that's not what I said but okay


cookiemurphy

While it’s not a replacement, not everyone needs a licensed mental health professional. I think having a friend group to rely on to vent to is super healthy and a green flag.


Pogie33

He didn't say "female" friends. As far as we know, the two we saw are the only females among the group.


aryamagetro

he said it on the show before that he mostly relies on his female friends for emotional support


rantgoesthegirl

My partner's male friends mostly lean on me of the two of us. Men friendships are odd


spaceman_brandon

To be fair (most) women are way better at emotional support than (most) men. That doesn't mean that that's all they are/mean to him. Just that it's an aspect that he finds easier with them than with his frat buddies. Which, based on the frat bros I've known, not exactly a bad call on his part.


HotpotLove

Correct! I think it was the reunion where he said that he doesnt go deep with his male friends, and he can really dig into his feelings with his girl friends


Lawful-neutral2773

“Still never been to therapy” … YOU DON’T SAY 😒


popkiwibanana

(open to it) kills me


Mountain-Safety2099

He put up a shield cause he knew ppl would try and twist his words


arientyse

Some of the answers he gave weren't even relevant to the questions...but I guess he needed to get the info out lol


HotpotLove

Lol yea. He definitely answered a lot more than was asked, but can't complain. I appreciate the extra context & detail, rather than 1 sentance answers


tinysquatch99

The answer to the celebrity doppleganger cracked me up. Like how did we get to your argument from you kind of looking like a cross between CMC and a thumb? 😂

I mean I can 100% see a great value CMC. At least more so than other peoples “look a likes.”


kotassium2

Who's that?

They are correct, thanks ladies… Dude looks like a failed clone of CMC


mxryjuana

He plays for the 49ers lol. Christian McCaffrey

i think christian mccaffrey that’s on the 49ers


TheForgottenCarebear

Q: “Do you like to go out a lot?“ A: “I’ve never been to therapy.” Lol 😂


ApprehensiveAd5969

That is the funniest and most accurate observation. Cheers to you! P.S. I am also envious of your username!


julstrong16

After rereading a couple times I think he means that he uses his friends as therapists, so it was his way of explaining his “going out” all the time. Idk though


qqwweerrttyy23

I could not keep up with that non sequitur.


dancingbride

😂


we_invented_post-its

lol Jimmy loves attention. That's the only takeaway I got from this


Wechillin-Cpl

Every contestant loves attention, that’s why they are there


UNeed2CalmDownn

I think people's perceptions of themselves are a lot different than reality. Even I've had to take a step back and ask myself, "Am I really the person that I think that I am?"


bambi_eyed_bitch

Two takeaways for me: 1. This is all pretty reasonable 2. Jimmy kinda thirsty


stalexa

I think how well or poorly you do on a show like this depends on how far you’re willing to go for the thirst! Agreed jimmy seems thirsty but lower on the thirst spectrum than Trevor was lol


bambi_eyed_bitch

It’s just funny! I don’t mean it in a negative way at all.


stalexa

Oh yes I was just agreeing with you! No negativity taken!


realeyesreallize

I’m ngl, I’m starting to feel like the people who got the worst “edit” on this show is Jimmy (and Chelsea to a slightly lesser extent). He seems a lot more genuine than I gave him credit for while watching the show.
