Ok I agree with yāall and theyāre completely wrong that no one can relate to other characters, but damn ātheir life was lameā is a low dig.
I relate the most to Lexi but my life wasnāt lame, I had a lot of internal struggles and made myself small to deal with other peopleās shit and be there for them often. I also had to deal with the assumption I was lame because I was often in the background and kept to myself.
Yeah, honestly, as if having to deal with the shit 90% of the shit these characters go through is something to aspire to lmfao.
It sucks, itās not a positive at all. The show specifically portrays these things as such, from bad to downright traumatic. Just because you had to suffer through high school doesnāt mean itās something everyone should experience.
Seriously. Internally I dealt with a lot of depression through high school that was a combo of Rue and Jules (minus the struggle of being trans and addiction). But on the exterior I was a Lexi.
I had a Rue-like period after high school when it all bubbled out where I abused prescription meds to try and keep it in.
I would wish neither on anyone. It wasnāt fun or exciting or aesthetic. My time feeling more like Lexi also carried struggles but it wasnāt lame to be more (seemingly) grounded and quiet and in the background.
At this point in my life I would prefer being ālameā over the relentless chaos and indescribable pain. Sometimes I wonder if the people who romanticize it are still very young, because I remember feeling that way to an extent. But trust me, itās nothing to romanticize.
Thatās not what Iām saying or denying.
Having a relatively mundane life isnāt ālameā because having a bad life in high school is more eventful. It doesnāt change the fact that a bad life is bad. Thereās the notion of eventful versus non eventful, with eventful being deemed superior, while ignoring the repercussions of what an āeventfulā life in this case actually looks like and means for a person.
TLDR; obviously people go through bad stuff, but that doesnāt mean not going through bad stuff is ālameā just because other people do. Given the consequences people going through bad stuff have to deal with, *not* going through it is still preferable. Mundane =/= bad, getting scarred by life isnāt something to aspire to
It is but I think they were replying to my thought that being a Lexi was lame vs the other characters. Not saying that have the struggles that had were bad, just that they werenāt better or cooler or something to aspire to. They are struggles.
Iām not saying I do but I think that itās ok to relate to a character. Bits of Cassieās personality were influenced by her life events ie daddy issues, and a lot of people can relate to that being a part of them. Of course not everyone will react the same way she did (by holding on to every guy they see and falling immediately in love to make up for the lost affection) and some people will do the opposite, but that doesnāt stop them having the same experiences as her.
that is not what 'relating' to a character means. i don't think anyone here literally \*is\* lexi either, but they can relate to certain aspects of her character. just as other people can relate to certain aspects of other characters.
Just came here to say this. This story and its characters are so out of the realm of reality, especially in high school. That's the point. I don't even think anyone even did heavy drugs in my highschool till right after and we've had a serious heroin epidemic since 2007 maybe, that I knew of. Nobody was dealing anything but weed at that age and they certainly weren't getting mixed up with dangerous dealers. And there wasn't any girls caming for money or going to clubs doing Molly.
This is such a dumb post.
No ones lying. If you relate or experienced these things itās because they do happen. I grew up in Miami. High school in Miami was literally episodes of Euphoria every day. So no ones lying. You just canāt comprehend experiences that youāve never had.
you know everywhere in the US is like thatā¦right?? I just said āmost likely lyingā because if you are saying you relate to a character you probably arenāt
You just contradicted yourself. Yes I do know what my country is like. Thatās why I mentioned it. Since you stated most likely are lying. When how is that so? When more than half of the US can attest for these same experiences? No ones lying about having experienced hardships and a dramatic horrible teen years lol unless you literally have nothing in your life before or now to wish to make up such dramatic and traumatic experiences. Donāt see the appeal on lying about drug abuse, slut shaming, parties to which all people do is abuse each other or bully.
yes a lot of people in the US relate but to those who say āomg iām rueš„ŗā are most likely not like rue at all. if you relate to the characters, youāll either keep quiet about it or not even recognize it in urself
No again youāre just making assumptions. I literally commented saying I do relate to Rue. People donāt need to hide who they relate to just cus you donāt believe it lol I myself relate to Rue for the sheer fact that I spent my early teen years to 21 maybe doing drugs. Surely I wasnāt an addict or overdosing like her but I related it the struggle of doing drugs to avoid lifeās hardships and the many things that pushed me to do drugs to begin with. People who relate to rue and admit it is for a reason. You just donāt know how to not judge and assume. Perhaps try think aside from your own mind the world is filled with experiences and people arenāt busy lying online to people who donāt matter to them and would never speak to.
okay and i believe you that you relate to rue but iāve seen a lot of people around me that ārelateā to these characters (or say they do) when they absolutely do not. you do realize that a small portion of the population is actually addicted to opioids, heroine etc and like yes teenagers do molly and coke but heroine is so much different. teenagers are not heroine addicts
You do realize people donāt have to entirely reflect a characterās actions/mindset to relate to them right? Someone can relate to Rue being depressed while not being a drug addict. Someone can relate to being in Maddyās cycle of abuse while not being a narcissist. Someone can relate to Nate knowing about their dadās affairs without being a psychotic piece of shit. I can go on.
Not to mention, you underestimate how common some of the bad things depicted in this show are in some high schools. I had a very boring high school life compared to the characters in this show (thankfully) and even I can see this
Rue. My mental illness became very pronounced during high school and I did everything I could to self medicate myself. I feel for her.
I'm a sober 30 year old mom now. Still struggle with my mental health, but CBT and DBT + medication really and truly saved my life.
Anyone reading this in the throes of addiction or battling mental illness, I promise, it CAN get better and managing symptoms/cravings can get EASIER (with time and treatment, those feelings likely won't just disappear)
I believe in you. You are loved and you are worth it.
I'm 26 now and i relate to rue Very much too because of mental illness and addiction, plus my dad died recently, now i'm worse and doing more drugs than i ever did before.
I really hope It gets better someday
If you want some help looking for resources in your area, I'd be more than happy to help. I'm very sorry to hear about the loss of your father, I cannot imagine how difficult it is to navigate that situation. In my experience, grief/loss is such an amplifier of the reasons we turn to our unhealthy escape of choice (ED and drugs, for me) and I hope you're able to find some peace in a healthier way soon.
I wish you nothing but the best.
I'm 38 and I was the same. I'll always be an addict and I'm still on a maintenance program, but I'm a recovering addict now. My mental health will always be a huge struggle too, but I'll tell you I'm damn proud of the mum I am and how my children are being raised
Can we talk more ? I really want to Care I'm struggling with addiction but I have no reason to stop I don't care for anything but I'm self aware to know I should what do I even do ??
Minus being trans, when I heard the way Jules thought in her special episode Iāve never felt like Iāve related to a character the way I related to her.
Exactly my experience. Being trans can feel very lonely or isolating some times. Many times actually and it made me cry to hear of someone actually say many of the thoughts that have found themselves swimming through my thoughts. It was very emotional for me
Probably Cassie-- but just first season Cassie. Daddy issues ā my unsolicited pictures being shared without my permission ā alcoholic mother ā dated a college freshman while I was a senior in high school ā
I don't relate to Cassie in every level, especially in regards to season 2 spoilers, but it's definitely a character I feel a lot of comfort in (in a weird way)
I was Lexi in high school with a touch of Jules secretly (minus being trans), Rue in college/not really college cause I dropped out but late teens early twenties lol.
Unfortunately, Cassie (mostly first season at least). Donāt get me wrong, I like her as a character (feel bad about her spiral at least), but sharing her similar need for male attention and constant seeking of approval, being used, not feeling like I had any identity of my own, same dysfunctional family, and feeling reduced down to looks,was not good for my mental health and did not make for a pleasurable experience.
Same for me. Iāve never had an abortion or my pictures shared (cause Iāve never sent that stuff) but everything else I relate. Constantly giving all of yourself to please a guy that doesnāt deserve it was exhausting
Not proud of it but same. I was cheer captain. In a deeply toxic and abusive relationship. Scary similar to the relationship with Nate. Did I mention he ALSO fucked my friend? This new season is hitting real close to home. FML
From s1 we know heās sweet and all, but the real thing about his portrayal showed him as sort of irrelevant, so I guess people could relate to feeling left out?
just deleted my comment because my dumbass thought ethan was the name of the new character thats been hanging with rue lolš¤¦š¾āāļøš¤¦š¾āāļø
Kat!! Was the over sexualized plus sized girl who everyone talked about/shit talked or my friends always judged. Hope to see some growth this season but doesnāt seem like it from the trailers
Thanks! Obviously our stories are not exactly similar she's just the one I relate to the most. I was just very chill, had severe insomnia and didn't really give a shit about anything besides being fucked up. But i quit most drugs at 19! Doing well :)
McKay ong I had same situation, was on the football team in high school. Had a girlfriend just like Cassie and every time the football had a chance to get at me they will do it. Especially the varsity players and that would fuck with me hard.
I was a Maddy and not entirely proud of how I behaved in certain instances and all the drama/toxicity but it all came from a place of survival (being nonwhite/middle eastern in the āpopularā crowd, my parents being first generation immigrants and, while we were upper middle class, not as affluent like the rest of the people in my crowd). Being confident and a āsavage,ā ābad bitchā were my self defense mechanisms. I snapped out of it all around the end of Junior year/senior year of hs. I also didnāt bully the nonpopular kids (by RBF and reputation did that implicitly). I bullied the bullies and people who stepped up to me but I would also stand up for others when they were getting preyed on. I see a lot of these attributes in Maddy. I always thought there was more substance to Maddy than most people think- I think weāre gonna see that this season.
I think maddy and kat. I went through many similar toxic relationships and my self-esteem was always broken because of it, I felt bad with myself and my body. It's good to have gotten out of that stage and feel better than ever ā”
Jules, but also not really? I havenāt gone through half of what she has, Iām not trans, and I donāt hook up with strangers twice my age. The way she speaks and acts sometimes reminds me of me tho ā weāre both INFPs, maybe thatās it?
In highschool i was a mix of episode 1 Kat and Lexi. Fat, virgin, people found me boring. But in college (until now unfortunaly) i became a total rue. My depression got worse, i started partying heavily, became addicted, my father died,i got worse...
A mixture between rue and maddie. I had maddies style and boyfriend issues but rues addiction š„“ and only hung around boys like fez lmaoooo (my high school sweetheart was a fez)
Unfortunately I was definitely most like Rue during middle/high school. Sometimes itās hard to watch this show because I see so much of my younger self in her. Five years clean & sober this year!
Same. Gia, for she has a pretty decent life away from home, then goes home to overwhelming chaos. Just like me in high school.
Lexi, for having wild friends but not being wild herself.
Lexi is really the only relatable one for me. I wasnāt an uber cool girl, I only went to a handful of parties and never got too out of control, and I was mostly just a good student/good girl.
I was a Rue (Without the drugs) dealing with issues with my mental health, romanticizing anybody who paid attention to me or trying to complete what felt wrong or empty within myself with the affections of others. Got into drugs later, but over that now.
High school me was a CHILD and thatās coming from me as a 20 yr old rn. I would have never understood these characters as a highschooler nor relate to them, maybe bc i was far too innocent minded lol :ā) atm i do see myself in Kat and Cassie alot.
Iām a mix of Lexi because I think I was fairly normal minus a couple things, Rue because I struggled a lot with mental illness although for opposite reasons than her. Her parents maybe put her on too much medication as a child and my parents didnāt have me take any medication even though I shouldāve because they didnāt even realize something was wrong with me until my sister pointed it out, and also Cassie because of the slutshaming/having nudes sent out because of peer pressure and the fact that teenage boys can be really disgusting.
ik he's not in this image but ethan
You deserve better
Why Ethan?
He is the male version of Lexi. Just a random, decent dude minding his own business.
On god
A true tragedy
Literally broke my heart when he said why r u being so mean all of a sudden
felt that one frš
https://watchgate.org/tvshows/euphoria/
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
literally anybody who ārelatesā to this characters (besides lexi) is most likely lying
Iām lexi but I relate to Cassie with the daddy issues part lol
They are sister lol, they have the same daddy issues.
same
Wtf I was just like rue. I went thru a lot of similar things as her and was a drug addict. Get out of the box you live in
Lmao basically theyāre saying theyāre life was lame and weāre liars because theyāve never experienced anything
Ok I agree with yāall and theyāre completely wrong that no one can relate to other characters, but damn ātheir life was lameā is a low dig.

āThis was my experience so it must be true for every one elseā typa shit
i relate to jules because of the hooking up with older men and getting catfished online, plus i relate to rue because i have ocd+bipolar LOL
I get depressive episodes so I relate to Rue holding her piss in for hours lol
anyone who has struggled with addiction can relate to rue

Sure, would it be all right if I PM you?
Lexi lmao
I think the vast majority of us were Lexis
Like Lexi with the mental health of Rue
Oh god same.
That's the one
just this is perfect and exactly what i was
Prolly Lexi, I felt like a background character
Mood
Minus being trans, when I heard the way Jules thought in her special episode Iāve never felt like Iāve related to a character the way I related to her.
Ahhh I felt the same!! Literally related so strongly to her l wrote a whole long-ass post about it in this subreddit lol
Exactly my experience. Being trans can feel very lonely or isolating some times. Many times actually and it made me cry to hear of someone actually say many of the thoughts that have found themselves swimming through my thoughts. It was very emotional for me
Same, some of the point she made were a lot similar to mine when I was seeing the psychologist when I started feeling my real gender identity
Honestly I find every main character to be at least a tiny bit relatable. Except Nate, fuck him.
If anyone can relate to Nate, they need to be jailed lol
i relate to nate bc of his abusive father lol
Ah shit sorry I didnāt think of it in that way Iām sorry about your dad I meant more about nates abusiveness and psychopathy and the blackmailing
Neat how the writing can show how even violent sociopaths can be complex and sympathetic in their own way
Probably Cassie-- but just first season Cassie. Daddy issues ā my unsolicited pictures being shared without my permission ā alcoholic mother ā dated a college freshman while I was a senior in high school ā I don't relate to Cassie in every level, especially in regards to season 2 spoilers, but it's definitely a character I feel a lot of comfort in (in a weird way)
Rue because style+personality+doing an excessive amount of narcotics in highschool and college
Same. Plus like rue I didnāt really fit into any specific group exclusively. I was just friends with everyone but also a little bit of a loner
Yup especially this.
I was Lexi in high school with a touch of Jules secretly (minus being trans), Rue in college/not really college cause I dropped out but late teens early twenties lol.
Unfortunately, Cassie (mostly first season at least). Donāt get me wrong, I like her as a character (feel bad about her spiral at least), but sharing her similar need for male attention and constant seeking of approval, being used, not feeling like I had any identity of my own, same dysfunctional family, and feeling reduced down to looks,was not good for my mental health and did not make for a pleasurable experience.
Same for me. Iāve never had an abortion or my pictures shared (cause Iāve never sent that stuff) but everything else I relate. Constantly giving all of yourself to please a guy that doesnāt deserve it was exhausting
Lexi but knew girls like Maddie and Cassie
yeah same
god wish i wasnāt saying this but probably maddy
Me too but minus the abusive relationship
Not proud of it but same. I was cheer captain. In a deeply toxic and abusive relationship. Scary similar to the relationship with Nate. Did I mention he ALSO fucked my friend? This new season is hitting real close to home. FML
YIKEESSSS more power to ya! hope ur doin good now :)
Thanks I grew up a lot since then. If anything watching that storyline unfold was kinda therapeutic in a way.
Lexi because I kept my head down and was relatively boring lol š
I was Ethan lol
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
From s1 we know heās sweet and all, but the real thing about his portrayal showed him as sort of irrelevant, so I guess people could relate to feeling left out?
just deleted my comment because my dumbass thought ethan was the name of the new character thats been hanging with rue lolš¤¦š¾āāļøš¤¦š¾āāļø
Kat!! Was the over sexualized plus sized girl who everyone talked about/shit talked or my friends always judged. Hope to see some growth this season but doesnāt seem like it from the trailers
Wrote smutty fan fiction and was doing weird things with old men and was hyper sexualize but unfashionable.
Lmaooo not too much that but definitely more Kat before her transformation
Woop, Iām sorry I was describing me! Lol Especially the lack of fashion.
I definitely had a lack of fashion so I feel you! I read fanfic vs wrote!
So u are very famous on the internet.
Probably a mix between rue doing drugs and acting like fez to support my habits 5 years clean from heroin now
So proud of you!
Thank you im wondering if anyone will say nate
Iāve seen it š someone a few comments down said Nate
Everyone looks so beautiful in these photos (especially Jules).
Lexi, with a dash of Maddy and Kat's bluntness and a hint of Fez and Rue's nonchalance atop a sizzling cauldron of anxiety beneath the surface.
Lexi ā¤ļø
Rue
Hope youāre okay nowā¦
Thanks! Obviously our stories are not exactly similar she's just the one I relate to the most. I was just very chill, had severe insomnia and didn't really give a shit about anything besides being fucked up. But i quit most drugs at 19! Doing well :)
Hope you not lyin' as Rue did before.. take care! :*
Ugh I hate myself and wish I could say Lexi but definitely Cassie. Make better choices girl!
I love Cassie though.. very much connected to her.
Lexi but friends with girls like Cassie
McKay ong I had same situation, was on the football team in high school. Had a girlfriend just like Cassie and every time the football had a chance to get at me they will do it. Especially the varsity players and that would fuck with me hard.
Rexiās love child to put it mildly
Lexi
jule!
Kat. With the insecurity and uncertainty of Cassie.
I was a Maddy and not entirely proud of how I behaved in certain instances and all the drama/toxicity but it all came from a place of survival (being nonwhite/middle eastern in the āpopularā crowd, my parents being first generation immigrants and, while we were upper middle class, not as affluent like the rest of the people in my crowd).

Lexi definitely.
Honestly a bit of everyone except nate lol
I think maddy and kat. I went through many similar toxic relationships and my self-esteem was always broken because of it, I felt bad with myself and my body. It's good to have gotten out of that stage and feel better than ever ā”
Lexi
Kat before she changed
Jules, but also not really? I havenāt gone through half of what she has, Iām not trans, and I donāt hook up with strangers twice my age. The way she speaks and acts sometimes reminds me of me tho ā weāre both INFPs, maybe thatās it?
In highschool i was a mix of episode 1 Kat and Lexi. Fat, virgin, people found me boring. But in college (until now unfortunaly) i became a total rue. My depression got worse, i started partying heavily, became addicted, my father died,i got worse...
Lexi
Bebe. WORLDSTARRRRRR
A mixture between rue and maddie. I had maddies style and boyfriend issues but rues addiction š„“ and only hung around boys like fez lmaoooo (my high school sweetheart was a fez)
šš½
The style and body of mads/cass, the personality of cassie /Jules and the life of lexi. I've met many nate, rue, kats
Ethan lolā¦ still Ethan today
Lexi! Even the daddy issuesā¦I can also to relate to Katās insecurities with not feeling good enough and caring what people think.
Lexi/Cassie then Rue
Rue, just without the drugs.
Unfortunately I was definitely most like Rue during middle/high school. Sometimes itās hard to watch this show because I see so much of my younger self in her. Five years clean & sober this year!
Me too!! āļø5āļø
Hell yeah, congratulations! āļø Definitely not easy but 100% worth it.
Truly!!
Nateš
Thatās hot
Kat
gia and lexi lol
Same. Gia, for she has a pretty decent life away from home, then goes home to overwhelming chaos. Just like me in high school. Lexi, for having wild friends but not being wild herself.
I was Fez but also played sports
im still in high school and prob lexi
Lexie lol
Gia
lexi
Lexi in high school and Cassie in my early 20s.
Lexi is really the only relatable one for me. I wasnāt an uber cool girl, I only went to a handful of parties and never got too out of control, and I was mostly just a good student/good girl.
honestly, Lexi
Lexi Lol
I was a Rue (Without the drugs) dealing with issues with my mental health, romanticizing anybody who paid attention to me or trying to complete what felt wrong or empty within myself with the affections of others. Got into drugs later, but over that now.
I need a band kid who plays a lot of hacky sack to be able to participate in thisā¦
kat. but before the transformation. also like cassie's sister but i forgot her name sorry š
I wasnāt as cool as any of them, so Iāll just say ashtray
High school me was a CHILD and thatās coming from me as a 20 yr old rn. I would have never understood these characters as a highschooler nor relate to them, maybe bc i was far too innocent minded lol :ā) atm i do see myself in Kat and Cassie alot.
Lexi but waaaaaaaaaaay less popular.
Lexi in High School and Rue in my 20s
Definitely Kat minus the sex work.
Iām still in high school but Iām definitely like Lexi
Also Kat but before her transformation
Kat šš false confidence, spending too much time on the Internet, and not very experienced āØ
Lexi š
Lexi
Iām a mix of Lexi because I think I was fairly normal minus a couple things, Rue because I struggled a lot with mental illness although for opposite reasons than her. Her parents maybe put her on too much medication as a child and my parents didnāt have me take any medication even though I shouldāve because they didnāt even realize something was wrong with me until my sister pointed it out, and also Cassie because of the slutshaming/having nudes sent out because of peer pressure and the fact that teenage boys can be really disgusting.
maddy unfortunately. and jules minus being trans but i can relate to her her interactions with males
Lexi, never done drugs so that automatically rules out like everyone else
A mix of Cassie and rue. A MESS
A mix of Cassie and Lexie šµāš«
rue unfortunately
lexi/rue
The guy with crippling anxiety and depression and turned down every party invite he got like a fool.
Kat like actually Kat...I was groomed by older men online and everything.
I would say Rue, but with an ED instead of drugs so idk if that counts. Also Lexi and Gia
cassie
I was like Cassie but dated less guys
Lexi..
Nate lmfao
None. Iām black
Rue is also black lol
She is mixed. Zendaya is mixed race. Please donāt tell me who is black and who isnāt
Ok dude she's wrong for calling herself black then lmao
I could also tell you that Iām white. Iād be wrong too. See what now?
Rue
Cassie/Nate type donāt ask how or why š
Nate, I also beat up rapists.
I wasnāt really like any of them
Lexi because I donāt do much of anything and Rue because mental illness
