I've been watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer for almost a year now and I'm just now realizing how bad everyone is at reading Willow's emotions and noticing when something's wrong with her. These people have known Willow for 5+ years and can't tell that she's obviously struggling! When her boyfriend left they went to a bar and didn't notice that Willow, someone who has never had alcohol in her life, was getting blackout drunk. They said that her over reliance on magic wasn't that bad because "she's the responsible one," even though she has historically not been good at understanding her own limits! Honestly, the only person who truly understands Willow is her girlfriend Tara, who has only known Willow for 2 years! Seriously, her friends don't even realize the long term issues Willow has to deal with because of what she's been through living on the Hellmouth! No wonder she's so reliant on magic, I would be too if I was constantly fearing for my life, everyone I cared about abandoned me, and the people who didn't leave only seemed to care about my abilities rather than my emotions!
