Well, I was separating financial and human needs from passions or whatever you call it, but yes, I understand that. I just think it's the most important thing.

Yeah, I know you're a bit different than most people I know in this regard. I just freak out at hearing the same thing from everyone. And Jason, well, I guess he's self-conscious enough to realize that a relationship won't solve his problems, but I still think his desire for one stems from his isolation and lack of substantial future plans. Well, that and his friendship with his ex dissolving. He demands a lot more from friendships than most people, and she stopped paying him attention now that she's moved on to his former best guy friend. And he's indignant at the whole situation. So.

Eh...I don't think there's something wrong with you, for what it's worth. But I am of the opinion that there is something wrong with most other people our age, and I would probably be over-protective of you if you were actually dating people, you know, thinking nobody is good enough for you.
