DOUBLE UPDATE DOUBLE UPDATE
Because it's been awhile, Gideon is having a paranoid flashback about this interaction he had with Dempsey back on pages 17 and 18. I experimented a lot with this page and I'm thrilled with how it turned out.

I'm pretty sure a lot of people have one experience that was embarrassing for both parties. I guess I feel better knowing when two people are able to acknowledge that what one of them did was weird.
Gideon definitely knows that his social skills go down the toilet when he meets someone new. Unfortunately, he's at the point where he's beating up on himself and isn't reacting in a balanced way. His coping skills are kinda...absent.
Fantastic artwork! I don't even need to know the story line. The art alone is enjoyable.

Thank you! I have a lot of craziness planned for the story, as well! Hope you stick around for that, too!
Ouch. This poor guy. I doubt he'd be particularly pleased about Dempsey deciding to regale somebody else with the fantastic tales of his interpersonal faux pas.
I know that feel. Replaying super embarrassing memories in your head and then beating yourself over them is definitely not fun. >.< Poor Gideon!
Ooohhh! Are we gonna meet a certain someone in the next page? XD
OH yeah it sucks. I've definitely been there. it's not like i'm drawing from personal experience on this page or anything
re: meeting someone: mmmmmmMMMMAyyYYyYYyyyYBEE!!!!!
I've never had a nightmare where I harassed someone.
Gideon is a interesting creature.
Thank you! I've definitely not sat up in bed and thought about this exact type of scenario happening or anything ahahahaaha
It's really interesting to see this interaction from two sides. Guess it shows that the things you beat yourself up about, other people aren't thinking about as much as you think.
I was thinking about that concept a lot when drawing this page. It's difficult to separate paranoid ideations from reality. Then again, he doesn't know that two nerds were having a whole conversation about him while sitting on their couch.
Social anxiety delusions actually coming true is probably my worst fear, and is one of the reasons why I'm writing a horror comic about it lol.
