@@hurricaneharvey9053 all of your comments are so disgustingly perverted. no woman would want to be with you. you should maybe work on yourself and go outside and clear your mind off and rid of that porn addiction u got
The actress that plays Cassie is amazing! She's so good with showing all of these crazy emotions. Desperation, excitement, sadness, mania and trying to hold it all together all within a flip of a coin. She's dope as hell.
Happened in the gym NGL But good for me that Betch turned out to be a Gold digger right in front of my eyes... And from that day my perspective completely changed about her and the _crush_ thing completely disappeared 😂
I think its pretty interesting how cassie dresses like every person nate has been into (in the show) the first two outfits are in cassie's personal style, then the one with pigtails has a more Jules style and the last one is obvisously maddie.
@@sevengrapes-gi1io Exactly 🤣. Sam has taken 90s, 2000's HighSchool drama and flipped it on it's head. The main cast are the small percentage of the school's student population. People talk about the kids not having notes or bookbags, but that is just the characters at the forefront. The background actors are now the ones carrying copious school material. Back in the day, the production would just focus on the main cast showing up in backpacks and folders. This shows pin points the extreme disconnect that the other population of students experience with reality in school.
@@almendrafuentes4241 Are you in private school? Or a non-public school (i.e magnet or charter)? If so, are you in High School or Junior High? And If all that applies, what state?
the swell of music at 1:33 when nate "notices" her is so accurate though, that's exactly how I felt as a teen and even now...like when you have a mad crush and you get them to notice you or flirt with you for a moment and you have this extremely out-of-proportion, ballooning sense of ridiculous joy. the music conveys it perfectly
Seriously, I remember last year there was this guy I found cute, didn't even know what his name was. And during lunchtime, I would just STAAAARE at him and anytime I'd pretend not to look and caught him looking at me, I'd get so fucking overjoyed, anytime he stood next to me I would implode inside, almost died when he literally just asked me to pass him a yogurt he couldn't reach. We spoke to each other like, twice I think yet somehow I was so infatuated with this guy. We're still in the same school and sometimes I make eye contact with him, and I'm pretty sure he knew I used to do that.
you’re so right, i can feel it perfectly. then that screeching at the end is also so devastating and distorts the feeling. i can feel that too. great audio
The music is by the artist Labyrinth. He’s like an unspoken character on this show because his music is powerful without needing words (for half of them). Actually Zendaya did a song with him in season One I didn’t even know she could sing and WOW
I love how they managed to make a self-care routine that's SUPPOSED to be good for you look absolutely dehumanizing and clearly unhealthy, its a good way to convey to the audience that Cassie has low self-esteem and doesn't want to be beautiful, she wanted to be noticed and given the attention she rarely ever got from her family & friends. Self-care is not self-care if you're doing it for other people, and toxic positivity is just as bad as negativity and not taking care of yourself.
any "self-care" routine requiring you wake up at 4 am would be unhealthy. plucking nose hair??? shaving your entire face?? beauty culture is stupid af.
@@doclinny hey now don't make such a assuption of ppl, who takes care of their skin, just cz u seen a very negative scene from a unrealistic highschool tv series
She does all this for him and I know it I just KNOW it, he wakes up at 7AM, puts on the first shirt he can find that doesn't smell bad and sprays deodorant, puts his hair in the right direction and is set for the day
@@SaffariRose I can testify as a male teenager who does the bare minimum 💀 I'm depressed and sometimes it takes effort to even pull up a new outfit for me. If I ever get a gf I won't expect her to be like Cassie at all someone like Rue is more like me 😭
@@disco_depression I'm sorry you're going through a hard time. I hope you're finding the right methods that help make your daily life easier and enjoyable as much as you can. I suffer from depression too (though I'm much older than you) and I know sometimes it's difficult to even get out of bed, let alone wear clothes 😩 Also, I hope you eventually find the right girl for you, whether she wants to dress up or not is actually up to her. Some people do enjoy these things for themselves. Just doing it only for some guy's attention is the unnecessary part. Relationships are so much more than looks. Good Luck ❤️
@@SaffariRose thanks for everything! And yeah, taking care of yourself is definitly your personal choice and you should do it for yourself no matter the gender. But I would feel so guilty to have a girl doing all this at 4AM for me while I wake up at 7AM and still arrive late to my school that is literally nearby. I feel super clean today and like achieved supreme self care when all I did is shaving my beard. I do brush my teeth and shower regularly!
@@disco_depression Good for you! Self care is important, even it's just the basics. I think it's respectful to yourself and others in general. Though to be fair, men's grooming doesn't usually take that long. Women's grooming on the other hand has a lot of layers and steps so it could realistically take that long especially if she doesn't do it everyday and hasn't learn't short cuts. On the other hand, it's least likely you'd even know she did all that unless she (or her friends) tells you because when she eventually starts to date you, she'll gradually go back to her normal self. So no need to feel too guilty, not unless you only like her for her looks, lol. It's just the fact that we feel we even have to do all that just to get noticed that I think is pretty sad. We often emphasize or project the wrong things to get attention that doesn't usually last long and then feel like shit about it when it's gone!
She's also speaking from Cassies POV. The real Rue doesn't know all this, she says what the characters feel. It might mean that's how Cassie sees the situation. She's so infatuated that she made herself believe he notices her.
I just want to remind everyone that this is a high school themed show, so the characters are still in that teenage mentality where they’re literally looking for themselves and their worth. When you’re in high school more than half the girls will always bend over backwards for any guy because the attention is new, and it becomes like an addiction to keep it going. They will turn to whatever guys they can to get that attention, even if it’s their best friends ex. Why do you think there’s so much drama with girl best friends in HIGH SCHOOL.
@@theredarrowpro7669 I just said this was a high school themed show, in high school girls tend to be more vulnerable and willing to guys manipulative tendencies

@@user-qp6ts2dp5g not to interfere in your life , as a guy just wanna say almost almost every guy don't care about such stuff. That's very superficial stuff to look for in a girl.
I was similar to her when I was in secondary school, although not to that extent (I don’t think we knew what gua sha and jade roller are back in the day lmao). But I would wake up 2 hours earlier to get ready only to impress a guy that doesn’t even know the difference lmao
I love how the more " prepared" she gets the more it feels like she s feeling worse and worse. Her outside matches her inside no matter how much she tries, her spiraling out of control just shows despite how much she s trying to hide it
In my personal opinion this whole situationship Cassie has with Nate, just shows her traumatic experience with her father. Her mom was always jealous because he looked very handsome and women were easily drawn to him. This conveyed to Cassie that you have to fight for a man‘s attention. Secondly after her parents divorced she suffered due to her father‘s emotional and physical absence. She longed for her father‘s love and when he didn’t come to pick her and Lexi up for weekend, she must felt really abandoned and this definitely took a knock down on her confidence and self-worth. I think that her father‘s absence created this void in Cassie and know she tries to fill that void with alcohol and her toxic situationship with Nate. She projects her experience with her father onto Nate and now she tries everything to keep him (Nate) because she fears to be abandoned again. It’s so sad and I really hope that in the upcoming episodes Cassie gets the therapy and help she needs
totally agree and i would like to add that it’s also because she feels like where she is at with nate is much better than where she’s at with her dad because nate is actually THERE and compared to her never physically seeing her dad, and that’s more than enough to keep fighting for nate.
You’re literally the only person I’ve seen that’s been sympathetic to Cassie and actually wants her to get help people come up with reasons for why Maddie lied about rape and does other horrible shit but hate Cassie for being a flawed character as well like a lot of the characters on this show aren’t good people
@@zaribarbi if the guy didn’t rape her she falsely accused him of rape which is wrong disgusting actually considering it’s been several cases of people being falsely accused of such a disgusting action and they had years of their life taken away because of a horrible lie
I swear I hated Cassie for what she did to Maddy but looking at Cassie in this scene is like looking in the mirror… literally me & im rethinking life rn. This show is so good at striking a nerve.
It genuinely saddens and worries me how many of you felt like Cassie. This isn’t a universal high school experience and shouldn’t be. The fact that we r constantly told as teenage girls that make validation is the only validation that makes you worthy is horrible. I hope teenage girls know that now or are told that by people older than them
Here’s a spoiler for life….most human beings at that age…are complete F’ing morons. Regardless of gender. Our parents were dumb at that age and so were their parents. Just different issues that we all dealt with.
I just realised Cassie had to do all that depuffing because of all the crying she was doing....and as the days went on she cried more & more so the routine got more intense...
I had a friend in high school who was literally Cassie. She woke up at 5am every single day to shave (she was insecure about her arm hair) and to make sure her makeup was perfect. She had a crush on our History teacher and would come to school looking PERFECT every single day. I felt for her like I feel so Cassie. This obsession is so bad for your mental health. Edit: wow, thanks for the likes. also the history teacher was pretty hot, he was in his late 20s and had blue eyes and all the girls had a crush on him. My friend just took it too far. Like in her head they were married but his wife was literally the counselor…so like…girl
the fact that other people have so much power over us is insane. like another comment said: if we poured that much time and effort into things that would actually benefit us, we'd be unstoppable
I think this portrayed a lot of individuals perfectly tbh, I remember how much a little crush had made me put so much effort into myself. I remember waking up at 4am just like cassie, and taking care of my skin, my body, adorning myself for one boy, who could not care less about me. I saw him for 10 minutes that day, and it was so much later in the afternoon, it really shows how much we do for other people. It’s quite unhealthy really, don’t put all of your mental health in the hands of another person, do it for yourself, and be yourself.
@@incognitomode4438 Sometimes it’s hard for us to realise our worth, and maybe right now you don’t like yourself, but keep working to get there. You’re a beautiful person, and you may not see that now but you will eventually, don’t let anyone ever make you feel like you’re worthless, keep going, and hopefully you will realise that you are an amazing person 🥰
Yes it was excruciating. I remember sneaking my mom’s makeup in middle school because I thought he’d noticed me if I did it. This went in for years until we actually started dating then he emotionally abused me
The sublime acting when he finally notices her at the end. The way her lips purse as she’s trying to reel in her emotions but also like on a high of euphoria from seeing his reaction to her was just absolute perfection. It’s amazing how I saw this whole segment and say myself in Cassie like a perfect mirror. Just insanely good acting wow!!
i dont know if a lot of people noticed, but when nate *finally* looks at her, he looks at her with disgust. you can even see and slightly hear him sigh in frustration
Ikr! I can practically hear him thinking “shes so pathetic,” the disgust is so evident and yet Cassie is all smiles because she finally got him to look at her.
This is not all high school girls. I think that a lot of this goes to how parents raised their kids. I was told young by both my parents and my sisters of my worth. I valued myself as a person and valued the goodness of others due to how I was raised. Not one person that I know or myself would ever do anything like this. Let’s start uplifting our young people. That’s how we break cycles like this.
For real. Some people are quick to just blame it on "Society" when in reality it tends to stem from the neglect of their parents and them ultimately feeling the need to find validation in other things. If they were raised better and were constantly given proper guidance about life and good feedback about themselves by their parents, teens will often-times RARELY end up like this.
As realistic as Euphoria can get (minus all the overdramaticized moments and themes) I very much agree with this! I hate how people perceive real life highschoolers (at least before tiktok decided to ruin everyone under 17 during the pandemic) as the same characters from Euphoria when there are still genuinely good teens out there who would rather not do things like this because their parents raised them properly and taught them the right things. I and a whole lot of my other classmates and even other students (I’m in first year college now) from past to present aren’t even as messed up as people have perceived everyone to be nowadays 😭 it’s either we get drunk for no reason or get a proper ass whoopin at home tbh. Also, good apples and bad apples exist. Why generalize and mix the good apples with the bad ones too? Like,, is it bad that good and well-mannered teens exist?? 😭 Can’t we be wild when it’s legal in college instead?
@@mcchilde2903 he's also not straight. they mention it several times in s1, like when he choked maddie for suggesting he wants a man when they were trying to have sex but he wouldn't get hard
Take note that the first time he noticed her was when she was dressed like Maddy. Edit: This is the first comment i've ever made that has 10K+ likes! Thank you guys so much
it really broke my heart seeing her expressions when nate ignores her the first time....just imagine you literally giving your life's 3 hours to look good for someone and that someone doesn't even look at you....that is devastating....on the contrary, i liked it when she was happy that nate noticed her after much trying....
You can slowly see she starts to descend into actual madness. At first, she does it to achieve the goal of attention (and she technically goes on throughout looking for it as well), but as she trys & fails to get the attention, the "ritual" becomes comforting as a sense of control, but the more she fails, the more compulsive it gets. the more fervent she gets for the release of looking her best. Finally getting his attention wont be enough though, now that shes gotten that taste, she will do whatever needs to be done to achieve the feeling and result she wants. Extending the time, making the ritual more impactful and drastic, losing the focus she had on anything else before -especially maddy- outside of how to look like maddy
I wouldn’t say madness but I would say like sadness because she tries to put on a fake smile. Then again I’m not very educated on this show because I’m not paying for this shit 😭😃
@@SleepyxFish I think its madness imo- she goes as far as to say shes crazier than maddy, dress like her, become increasingly more dependent on doing her routine, her mother has to hide the knives because she thinks she will try to hurt her self (she does end up trying to do something with a corkscrew after a fight with her mother but her mother stops her), and she even starts defending nathan to people like lexi and her mom.
Her madness came from her sadness..every time she fails to get his attention, more she gets sad and Sad...so that sadness slowly became madness and obsession. Im sure that all this obsession hides a deeply black hole of sadness inside her
Sadness for being more and more feeling abandoned. The obsession that girl has is for attention, but the more she search for his attention, more she feels rejected. It's a cycle. This cycle only stops when we realizes that passion makes us idealize somebody. And This idealization makes us create expectations... But what that person really shows to us in real life is what matters, not a idealization we creates for what the person can be. Be > can be
@@lms6544 man glad u had the balls to say this cuz ppl are smh always justifying or feeling bad for shitty ppl xD Cassie sucks, i feel bad for Maddie whos actually a good friend
i hate how relatable this was. the obsession. the anxiety over every minor detail. the borderline panic attack when the person you're doing it for doesn't even look at you or acknowledge your presence. but still doing everything you can because maybe, just maybe, he'll notice you tomorrow. maybe you just didn't put your hair right or you put to much perfume on. how EVERYTHING matters. and even if he doesn't care, you'll keep doing it because maybe he'll see your dedication and pick you.
Hey Jesus Christ came to save the world from sin. Jesus died for all the the sin of the world so that we can be saved from hell and have eternal life. We have the Hope of eternal life if we turn away from our sins and are baptize in water and receive the Holy Spirit and follow Jesus with the Holy Spirit. GET TO KNOW JESUS AND LOVE JESUS, JESUS CAME TO SET US FREE FROM SIN. Don’t watch these any shows.
I honestly feel bad for everyone who found Cassie's routine “relatable". It shouldn't ever have to be this way for any of you, y'all deserve better than to just sit in hopes for a person to notice you. The burden is simply way too much.
I do believe that it's important to look well, it helps with getting the other person's attention. However, looks won't make them stay for too long. Personality is also incredibly important. Cassie was trying too hard, while Maddie was just being herself. Maddie knows how to flirt and seduce. Which is why in the end Cassie couldn't keep Nate for too long. Looks can only sustain a relationship if you sleep with the person a lot, if you say "no" then you end up becoming useless to them. Men also need mental stimulation. Thus, all this obsession with appearance is worthless if there is no more to it. If you're not interesting, funny, seductive, etc. Then, all that time invested goes to waste.
I like that when Maddy notices they're wearing the same thing, they both turn their backs to the camera so the audience can see it's nearly the exact same garment.
She wouldn't have needed all the depuffing if she just slept another two hours 😂 Edit: how did I get so many likes😯 anyways thanks everyone,I can now dies of covid peacefully.
I wish under my eyes would be puffy. Lmaooo I’m tired of them looking like they got scooped out cuz I didn’t sleep enough 🤣🤣🤣 Of course I’m only a little bit joking.
I cannot believe that some people claim that the way Cassie takes care of herself seems satisfying. The narration is literally in contrast with the way the scene is directed. Cassie looks tired, stressed and her moves become more obsessive with each repetition of the routine.
I know this is random but why is Nate not carrying anything like a bag or books? Look around at everyone else they have something, is he walking around aimlessly to see Cassie or Maddy?
I had a guy friend tell me that before he changed, he would always go for girls who behaves very similar to Cassie because most manipulative guys can easily pick out a vulnerable attention seeking girl when they see her. Nate knows exactly what he is doing.
All jokes aside. “Daddy issues” are a real thing for girls and women too. And can have long lasting effects throughout our lives if we aren’t aware or don’t tend to the internal issue. And Cassie’s character is a very good example of this. Edit: Rue also suffers from daddy issues in a sense. Should we all dislike her character for being a drug addict? Or should we empathize with the fact that girl is suffering from her father’s death and it turned her to do drugs? Y’all are really so terrible for never ever trying to understand the pain of other’s. People cry out for help in different ways. I promise you no one WANTS to be a drug addict, no one wants to be in a toxic abusive relationship. They want something else that they lost. And they’re seeking it in a different way or trying to disguise a certain pain. It’s so ridiculous to me how you guys pick & choose who deserves empathy and who doesn’t. Literally every euphoria character is battling something . The hypocrisy in humans kills me. And it shows everytime the topic is about Cassie. I generally feel this way, it’s not about euohoria’s characters. Just an example.
@@scubatuba1083 anyways. This has nothing to do about sexism or anyone being sexist. Obviously we can see that daddy issues exist in boys and men too because the character Nate had them. So going back to what I originally said. Because people seem to hate Cassie’s character but don’t realize where her behavior is really stemming from.
@@nonashay people dislike her character for a valid reason daddy issues is not a excuse it might be a reason but it’s not justifiable for what she’s done to not only maddy but her mom and sister. People know she got daddy issues they talk about it every time and some even bring it up to defend her actions
@@diamondlove1997 k. Anywho, I’m pointing this out for general reasons. I remember “daddy issues” was just something we joked about and used to insult a person, but I’m reminding girls that it’s real. Cassie’s character is actually suffering. If you don’t see something seriously wrong with a girl wanting to be loved so desperately that she’s willing to do anything for a guy who legit abused her bsf, you’re the problem too. Be empathetic , because these situations are real, not just on tv.
@@nonashay im not being empathic for someone who doesn’t want to hold themselves accountable and sees they did nothing wrong. Fucking your ex best friend abuser knowing that’s your Bestie and you bout to be abused next is something I will never understand idc what type of trauma they have people use their trauma to cover up their behavior I understand the affect it could make but it’s your choice to hold yourself accountable make a change reach for help go to therapy
I never quite reached this level but I followed similar patterns over a guy in high school. I had no sense of self-worth until I finally gave up on him and moved on.
@@anonomous8649 yeah i was never on this level since the guys never liked me back, but i did revolve my entire worth on them. and tbh idek if i’m better now or if the fact i’m with someone satisfies me so i don’t act out anymore
Ugh this show is so good They were able to make me feel second hand embarrassment and sadness when they did that scene where Cassie appears to be so happy and full filled that Nate stopped and stared for 3 seconds. Get up !
@@yumilixi8801 istg, there’s this older guy in my school who made eye contact with me once and I just melted into the floor. And now I’ve been crushing on him for three months😭
I love how this show has so much symbolism. It really makes you think and reflect all while having common themes in life that many can relate to. I think that’s why a lot of people enjoy Euphoria, it’s exaggerated with elements of realism and surrealism.
When he finally “saw” her I felt so bad cause as someone said this is a teenage/Highschool show and all the characters play a certain role which Cassie really wants his attention and she’s not realizing her own worth
I want to hate Cassie but I can't. I used to be like her, doing anything and everything for male validation. What she doing is shitty, without a doubt, but I understand what pushes her to be like this. Hope she goes to therapy eventually.
Cassie can be both a victim to her own mental health and Nate's abuse and be a bad person for what she did to Maddy. They aren't exclusive, you can hate her for what she did to Maddy and still feel bad for her.
I have never seen this show but this scene popped up and immediate flashbacks to high school. From waking up at 4 am to overanalyzing every stare or seeing everything in pure desperation to seek attention and validation. Low self esteem plus people pleasing can really make you loose yourself.
I did this exact shit in high school when I was obsessed with someone. It was so emotionally taxing, but I didn’t recognize it as a problem or how quickly I was declining because of it. Glad to see such an authentic and sympathetic depiction of it. Those are rare to come by.
Cassie needs therapy and help, the way she views and validates herself is linked to how boys view her. And this all happened because she is beautiful. Lexi is luckier in the sense that she got to be just herself without being tied to guys because she wasn't conventionally beautiful by society's standards. She doesn't care that Nate is an abuser/psycho and her being in love with him makes no sense. It's not her fault but she needs someone to talk her out of this behavior before it's too late.
@@captainwartburger2571 I don't think any of the characters are unattractive either tbh! I think they meant the fact she possesses a lot of traits that fall more in line with Western beauty standards is what makes Cassie the "more attractive" sister. Both characters are played by conventionally attractive actresses in my opinion, but the differences in how they dress and do hair/makeup for each actress probably play into why Lexi's made to seem "unattractive," relative to Cassie. I adore Sydney Sweeney, but I wish shows didn't always fall in line with this white and blonde beauty standard.
@@captainwartburger2571 Lexi is attractive, I never said she wasn't, I just focused more on the issue at hand. She's even as stunning as Cassie (or more in my opinion) but she isn't sexualized. That's the difference. Fez likes Lexi for who she is and her beauty, while Cassie has none of that from any guy. She was herself, and Cassie hasn't had the chance to do that or explore who she is without guys attached to her. First Mkay, then Nate. My point is she is lucky to not be tied to her looks, she's dynamic. Many girls/women can't run away from their beauty because society only sees them for one thing. While girls like Lexi who are beautiful but overlooked due to who they are get the chance to develop a personality that's true to them and not tied to men/being attractive. I am a black woman too but you got to remember black girls/women are on both spectrums, there are many girls who a black like Lexi. And many who are like Maddie and Cassie.
@@captainwartburger2571 As another black woman, I don't think the original statement is quite right either. Lexi has literally all the traits that would make her "conventionally" attractive both in and out of the show. I think it's just a matter of her being overshadowed by her sister, who isn't considered just attractive, but _gorgeous_ and sexy. The "sexy" part is important because Cassie's figure makes her a target for objectification much more than Lexi and has tied into how she views herself. I think that's what OP was getting at.
Wow, I am way grown now and know better but I see so much of my highschool self in Cassie, it's scary how realistic this scene is. Not just , for my former teenage self, but for most girls, this age, that would do anything for their crush! Euphoria is an absolutely brilliant and realistic show ❤❤❤
@@growing.flowers you do realize some highschool students really dress like that, right?? Especially in this generation, fashion tends to be a big thing; even in high schools.
OK, but like- did any of yall start dying when Nate appeared and was like a skyscraper compared to EVERYONE?! Like nobody even came CLOSE to his height 💀
Hey Jesus Christ came to save the world from sin. Jesus died for all the the sin of the world so that we can be saved from hell and have eternal life.

This entire scene is everything, from the music to rue narrating to the asmr of Cassie getting ready, then her reaction when Nate noticed her, then how reality struck when Matty came, just pure gold
Something I noticed is how when Cassie first dresses as her self the first two times, she then dresses as Jules hint the ponytails, Rue then narrates it by saying “He ‘pretends’ not to notice her” he actually is looking at her but is pretending he isn’t, then when she dresses exactly like Maddy he doesn’t pretend to look at her, he literally stares at her.
Everyone is forgetting that Cassie is supposed to have gone through that ab*rtion literally a few weeks ago. I think her attachment to Nate is more just her wanting to go back to who she was before all that… which is why she’s trying to become Maddie, because before all that, Maddie was her equal in the sense that they were two popular teen girls with popular boyfriends. And Nate went after her for a simple reason: pr*dators sense weak prey. She was heartbroken sitting on the curb drunk and who sniffs her out and gives her a reason to be “happy”? Nate. Now of course he’s getting his rocks off bc he is trying to make himself believe “look how great I am I can even come between best friends”, but I mean the inner, subconscious, reason. She was weak. He’s a pr*dator. It’s like a Lion sneaking up after a limping gazelle even though he can get a perfectly healthy one almost as easy. Why waste my energy when I can get what I want (in this case sex and self gratification) in a much easier way? Who cares if I’m going after a weakling? People think it’s shocking and are mad Cassie went with Nate but if you REALLY think about the timeline of events it’s honestly not that crazy. I could be wrong but I don’t think it’s a coincidence.
Cassie's getting ready routine really shows her character's defining weakness. She lacks self worth. Waking up early to do an extensive self care routine would be admirable, if she was doing it for herself. She's not doing it to keep herself in the best physical condition because she feels she's worth the effort. She's doing it to audition for the approval of others. Taking care of your appearance is great, but every now and then, ask yourself what your motivations are. Who are you doing it for? Are they worth it?
@@mindingmybusiness3915 Exactly. He doesn't like maddy. He just manipulates her. That scene... The thing that "he looked at cassie because she was dressed like maddy" is not true. He probably looked at her because she is hot. But that what they want us to see: the point of view that cassie has... That scene that she was dressed like maddy. She was the only one who thought that. Her mentality because she was obssesed. Nate doesn't love anyone he's a manupilator narcisisit... Sorry bout my bad english I'm from Spain 🥴
@@irenebeltranlopez215 maybe not in love but manipulators can just as easily become fixated as their victims. He definitely only looked at cassie because she was dressed like maddy or the argument of her being "hot" would've worked all the other days when she was just as hot dressing like Herself. She literally had nearly the exact same outfit. Did her hair the same way and Even did her EDGES the same way maddy does. Only then he noticed her and was seemingly not impressed but more upset. You can see him shake his head in annoyance and exasperation. Manipulators and narcissists can especially become overly attached and obssessed over those they've felt have been able to get away from them and/or they felt have scorned them in some way
@@irenebeltranlopez215 your English isn't bad no worries. Most native English speakers grammar aren't even that good. I agreed he is narc and I don't understand why ppl thinks he loved her. He doesn't like either of them. He just like ego boost that's all.
Ngl I've felt the same thing that Cassie felt. It hurts, it sooooo stressful, you wake up every morning trying to be good enough but go to bed every night wondering why you can never be enough which is what motivates you to get up and try again the next day. This is why I don't have crushes often lol
When he finally looks at her he like shakes his head like he knows that it’s exactly like maddys outfit and he’s like “she did not go that far”. That’s what it looks like
i love the sound design of this sequence the music goes from surreal and flowy to very staccato and intense and the sounds of each of the products and tools she’s using get louder and faster and more pronounced and the whole sound just elicits a sinking feeling + raising anxiety up until she’s noticed by nate and we’re back to flowy and surreal again UGH
Beside of love addiction, can we notice that Cassie is a perfect example of how, we women, are taught to modulate ourself for the sight of men? I wish I could understand that when I was a teenager. Being pretty for myself not to please a guy who doesn't give a f*** about me.
she’s trying to clean how guilty and dirty she feels through this routine. nate only notices her when she looks like maddy. he can see that she’s going insane for him how maddy did.
1:27 genuinely freaks me out cuz you can see the pure panic written all over her face of trying to look perfect for Nate and the obsession of receiving his attention. It’s deeply unsettling!
I JUST now realized what she did with that last fit. She finally looks like Maddie and he pays attention to her. It’s insane how much I didn’t notice while watching 💀
Cassie is so relatable...I remember when I was in high school, how I dressed extra nicely for my ex to see and wanting him to be like DayUm. Jesus, it was so toxic when I think about it. On the other hand, I created a great sense of fashion because of it
@@milkyuhnom5925 LOL I had literally drama last year over the fact that I was mad at my best friend for dating my ex. But you didn't quite get my point though; what I find relatable about Cassie is the whole dressing up for a boy thing, not the dating your friend's ex😭 I've been a victim of that last year lol
@@f8ckable everyone understands her character, doesn’t mean she’s not a pick me girl. Nate smashes her on Friday and ignores her like a stray dog every other day of the week. She keeps allowing herself to be seen like a fish smelling wh*re for the worst men.
Y’all we make a big deal of entering into our late 20s thinking teenage years are the best, LIFE AS AN ADULT IS HARD BUT WE ARE SO MUCH MORE SORTED AT THAT POINT. As teenagers we’re confused looking for worth and validation, it’s sad.
