Why I Need a Restraining Order Against Nathan Fielder

He needs to be put in the Magneto Prison from X-Men.

I, like the rest of the world at this point, have just finished watching The Rehearsal. If you are the person who has been living under a rock and hasn’t seen this show yet or has no knowledge of whom Natan Fielder is, consider yourself lucky. Get out, touch grass, hug your loved ones and go to bed sleeping easy.

For the rest of us, we need therapy for what we had to experience when watching the show. I had anxiety sleeping that same night when I finished the finale of the show. Some may think I’m being dramatic, but I’m being honest.

I think the art and comedy that Nathan has done have been amazing. After finishing the rehearsal, as I’ve heard many others do, I went straight to watching Nathan For You. Which I thought was weird because the finale of the rehearsal shook me to my core.

HBO fully funded Nathan’s intrusive thoughts. Most of the discourse I’ve seen around the show is the fact that some of its characters and situations couldn’t possibly be real, and I wish I thought that way. Maybe I’m also easily manipulatable to just naive but I knew going in the people and situations are a part of a reality tv lens, so questioning anything that happens never crossed my mind. Which could be why I am terrified of Nathan now.

He is just so smart and manipulative that it makes me scared to even watch his content sometimes. I had this conversation with a friend of mine and said that if I had seen him walking down the same street as me I would have to cross to the other sidewalk because I would be too nervous to walk next to him.

All that being said, I need to have a conversation with my therapist about why I’m still attracted to him. He’s such a cute, evil man. Although my attraction for him is real, I will still be filing a restraining order. W/ peace & love.
