everyone goes on and on abt how Mike is bad for El but El is bad for Mike too babygirls,,,,,,
Mike literally can't tell El about any of his interests because he knows she just doesn't care (this isn't El slander), she makes him feel like he has to hide parts of himself to be loved/valued and even AFTER he completely changes himself to appeal to her it still isn't enough
Their relationship makes Mike feel like he isn't good enough and no one ever acknowledges how trapped and miserable that makes him feel </3
