Here's the thing about being in a relationship. Sometimes people feel like you have to do everything together. But in a relationship, one of the things that I call. There's a concept that I call your oso. If you're more extroverted, you're gonna have to do things that he won't like to do, and you'll have to do it with someone else. Oso means your other significant other. So this is like. So, for example, if he doesn't like to go to the bar or he doesn't like to go out to museums, he doesn't like to do a lot of things where a lot of people are there, you'll have to find someone else that needs to do it. Like a best friend, right? Let's say he's like kind of like a guy that works with his hands and isn't as intellectual. You might need to talk about those intellectual things with an oso and other significant other that's really into talking about deep shit, physics, whatever, y'. All. Whatever you want to talk about. So find an extroverted oso that you can do things with when he is not feeling like he wants to go outside. Okay. Lettuce said, I like you already, girl. You better.
