In this episode, my boyfriend Josh and I take turns telling the story of how we met four years ago. Due to our age gap and the fact that we weren't in the same major at school, we seem like an unlikely couple, and that tends to spark a lot of curiosity from people, which means we get asked to tell this story a lot (this is for you curious kittens). We also recall the assumptions that several people have made about us in the past based solely on our outward appearances: for me, it's the makeup and the way I dress, and for Josh, it's his muscles and shoulder tattoo. Lastly, we touch on how we both feel socially anxious in various situations-- ranging from simply walking down the street to ordering food from a restaurant-- and Josh shares what he's done to actively combat that struggle.
