32 and 33 for all of JNPR
[x] 32 - What words upset you the most, and 33 - What words make you feel the best about yourself?
Jaune: When people tell me I’m worthless or… hopeless, or… dumb. Especially when it’s people I want to believe– people that should care about me. That’s what makes me feel the worst. But when someone tells me they believe in me – someone who actually believes it – and they can convince me to believe in myself, too… that’s the best thing. Ever.
Pyrrha: “Pyrrha Nikos, the amazing, the incredible… the invincible girl.” When people call me perfect, or think things don’t hurt me just because I’m… better, somehow, than everyone else in their eyes. That’s the most upsetting thing to me. I’m not better than anyone.
Jaune: Uh, yes you are. You’re, like, the best person I’ve ever met. People just don’t bother getting to know the parts of you that really make you so incredible.
Pyrrha: … And that’s what makes me feel the best.
Nora: Sometimes I have nightmares about Ren telling me he’s gonna leave me forever.
Ren: I would never do that.
Nora: I know. But they’re still the scariest words I can possibly imagine. In real life, when people tell me to shut up and stop being so annoying, it kills my mood like that. But when someone tells me they love me and that I’m not annoying at all, or calls me one of their best friends, it’s like the most wonderful thing ever. Yang and Pyrrha are really good at making me feel better about myself – and, of course, Ren’s been doing it for years. He’s my bestest friend of them all.
Ren: Anything that reminds me of my past is upsetting. And, as for the other question… when people laugh at my jokes or tell me they appreciate my cooking. That’s what makes me feel best about myself. I’m… afraid to open up to people, it seems. Afraid to trust, afraid they won’t like me very much. I’m not as silly as Nora is, of course, but… I’m not as stoic as I appear to be, either. Not on the inside, not if I– I wish I had her boldness. When people tell me they appreciate me, it… helps me relax. Be myself, more.
