<human>: When I say we're both really quiet, I'm pretty serious. Tyler and I get along on the basic large topics, and there are times that we do sit down and discuss how we feel about things that we wouldn't really trust our entire friend group with.

Thing is we're both pretty introverted, self-reliant, and slightly awkward. I've gone through some shit and dark stuff in my life, and as has he. We've discussed that just existing side by side isn't the kind of relationship that we intend for. We'd like to be more open with each other, but it's getting that openness started that's kind of hard because we've never really been open with other people before. It's kind of what brought us together oddly enough.

Recently I've come to rely on him more because I ran into a bout of gut-wrenching anxiety. It got to the point that I had to either force myself to eat or be put on medication to calm the anxiety I was going through and to keep my stomach calm so I could keep the food down. He helped me through that time by periodically checking up on me and making sure I was eating at least something. (Anxiety is gone now, I removed the stessor that was causing it and am getting back to a regular eating schedule.)

We mostly just make jokes with one another, have nights in watching movies, play video games next to each other, or ballroom dance together, and conversations stem from there.

What are some things we can talk about to help ease into a more open/trusting relationship?

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
