I fucking love Peter in 'Thick of It'. I don't think anyone could insult better than him.
I just wanted to say to you by way of introductory remarks. In my quest to try and make you understand the level of my unhappiness, I'm likely to use, what we would call, "violent sexual imagery." And I just wanted to check that neither of you would be terribly offended by that

u/pointlessly_pedantic Mar 25 '23
Nah I don't wanna kiss or fuck or date them when I have this. I think not everyone experiences this but I've had it with women too. It's like the rush of "god they're cool/whatever, I want to get to know them" but the mental images that come up when you introspect are all strictly platonic. It definitely feels distinct from a regular crush too.
Best I can explain it is the early stages of hitting it off with someone who would become your best friend, but you're not sure at the time if it will develop into anything more than "oh they're cool, we should hang" or a friendly acquaintance. The platonic crush is the feeling that comes before falling in friend(ship) lol

It 100% reads as a coping mechanism to me. He just looks very anxious and like he's doing his best up there.
Granted I could be projecting, since that's what I do to cope with social environments. I can't speak for him, but it feels really nice to make people laugh when you're being dunked in social anxiety. It adds a teensy sprinkle of good feelings to a pool of stress; feels good to get even that smidge of relief. Plus there's that part of the brain that's like a terrified antelope "IF THEY LIKE ME THEY WON'T EAT ME."

There's a podcast interview with him, I think it's 'diary of a CEO', where he very openly explains his issues with anxiety and self esteem. He has panic attacks and was saying how when he walks into a room he has this unreasonable assumption that everyone hates him. Which confused him a bit because he also said he didn't hate himself, he thought he was a pretty good guy (which he is).
I'd only ever heard his songs on the radio before and the podcast really humanised him. People who talk that openly about their issues have a lot of respect from me

He's been very open about having it which I think has been really good for improving awareness of what Tourettes is really like (and not being just a punchline about us swearing a lot).

For me it's the voice, actually. He's got that "strained just about to break" thing when he hits those high notes, something Ed Sheeran does too but Lewis has it a lot stronger.

It’s not terrible, it’s just normal for a pop song in my book and pop isn’t my cup. But the dudes personality is amazing.

I discovered him not through his music but oddly enough ticket prices. The red hot chilli peppers are coming to town and I dug unlimited love enough to think to myself "that might be an alright time". Go to buy tickets and the cheapest ones were 400 dollars plus all the ticket master fees. Out of curiosity I started looking up ticket prices for people playing at the same place as the Peppers and Lewis Capaldi came up. I had never heard any of his music before but I assumed he was big cause of the size of the venue he was playing. So I decided to see how expensive his seats were and the very last row was 25 bucks and the very front was 200 (resale). RHCHPs cheapest 400 vs Lewis Capaldi's cheapest 25. He's at 32 million followers on spotify vs their 27 million so its not like he's not popular. This alone made me pay attention to him and every time I see stuff like this I like him even more. Seem like a great person! TLDR; He seems great and doesn't rip off his fans

How the hell did this hilarious man turn around and also perform one of the saddest, most emotional songs I’ve ever heard??

He has insane anxiety troubles and tourettes. He does extremely well to hide it in interviews by being this bubbly, funny guy but what goes on behind the scenes is so sad at times.

He has Chris Farley energy to me. Seems like a good guy, having a blast, being a goof, just enjoying himself.

If Robbie Coltrane and Paul McCartney had managed to have a child, he would look exactly like Lewis Capaldi.
Also, as someone originally from Glasgow (Easterhouse) his accent is tamed so you can understand him!

That's what I love about my country.. we don't take ourselves too seriously. Lewis is a great guy and if he stopped singing then he can definitely break through into stand up comedy!! 😂😂

I love how the other co-host is supportive and tries to keep him in line to promote himself.
“I’ve seen you live, and it looks like you are having fun”
“But that is 10 out of 10”. Bless his kind soul

Funny seeing people in here having no idea who he is. I’m in Glasgow and I don’t think there’s a soul living here who hasn’t heard of him.

I don’t think I’ve ever knowingly listened to his music but he’s an absolute legend. Love it every time I’ve seen him in interview. I look forward to him getting one of those odd travel shows or something of the like.

It took me a few years to realize he was a singer. First time I had seen him in a video I thought he was a comedian bc of all the jokes. Dude’s got a back up career.

I have never heard him sing a single note but after watching this I am immediately a big fan.
