#Daniel Sloss: Jigsaw

[standupcomedyhistorian]

Um…so this happened 👀

Still can’t believe it tbh…

Daniel Sloss was an absolute GEM and took photos with everyone who stayed after his amazing performance of Can't at Town Hall that opened the New York Comedy Festival this year. SO much fun, and he signed my copy of his book! 🥰

My trip was incredible, the Inside cabaret show at 54 Below was a BLAST (I had on disco ball jewelry courtesy of @ilickedthegardenwall), and @nicoleanell couldn't have been a more gracious host.

We even went to the Brooklyn Cat Cafe (and I got a beautiful turquoise shirt)! 💗

Lots to come on my website, especially about meeting Sloss in person, and keep it here for more comedy fun! ✌🏼🐔

i personally believe that every single person who has gone through the shittiest of breakups should watch Jigsaw by Daniel Sloss.

ESPECIALLY this bit. Like get out of my head dude I've thought this exactly for my entire adult life with the same exact attitude. Anytime I say it I can feel the attitude in the room dismiss me as a nihilist. But my longest albiet platonic relationship has been approximately 17 years, longer than my parents' marriage. You can't argue with results. Statistically most people don't love the person they're with, they love an idea of them they've forced upon them that does not exist, and it's absolutely insufferable to watch so many people lie to themselves like that for nothing when real love is attainable.

Loving someone should feel as easy as breathing, even when it's not.

#4/4 #daniel sloss #jigsaw #this is also the same guy who said in a routine their partner at the time of the story said #sometimes i feel like you love your best friend more than me #and he said no no babe ALL the time #because theyve been around way longer than you #ergo that is the only logical and fair reality to this situation #which is so fucking real lol

Did yall see the interview of Dan talking about getting engaged & responding to criticism he received? Thoughts?

I found it interesting that people interpreted his message roughly as, “Love isn’t real.”

The message I got from Jigsaw was, “Most people in relationships are incompatible with their partners, and we need to consider how the person we love fits into our life & our plans for the future.”

Clearly I'm not made for human contact cause somebody told me they ended a several year old relationship recently and I was like "sorry that this happened to you or good for you if you wanted it tbh" but tbf 1. I don't know them well enough to gage which instance was the case and 2. I'm literally the separation supporter and you come to me with a separation. I am at the very least gonna consider it a potentially happy event

#should I encourage them to watch Jigsaw by Daniel Sloss to feel better? hmm. perhaps it would be insensitive #txts #I'm not that much of a dick btw this post is only written this way for comedic effect

[mona-liar]

Daniel sloss' new show is definitely less funny to me than his other shows but tbh I cannot tell if it's a) bc it's a bad show b) I watched all the other ones through streaming and comedy shows become way less funny when you do not find the same bits funny as the rest of the audience or (actually most likely) c) all these fucking cunts who could not behave and who made me want to kill them so badly it actually distracted from the stage

#Like arriving way to late #Talking so loudly I could hear and understand them three rows over #Messing with the seats so that three rows had to play musical chairs bc they couldn't fucking read for some reason #And worst of all straight up leaving in the middle of the show???? #Nearly two entire rows in front of me were empty before the show was over #But also the ending was weak and very abrupt just incredibly jarring #But I'll rewatch jigsaw bc potentially it could bring my roommatw with the situationship to some realizations #And then maybe his two (?) Other programs I habent watched yet #Daniel Sloss

mmmmmm think I wanna be loved and love someone in return

#this is very inconvenient #to use daniel sloss's jigsaw analogy my jigsaw is working super well and my career is right at the centre of it #and introducing dating and love and romance could fuck my puzzle right up #like i know im not aromantic and there are people who have been trying to ask me out or pursue me or whatever #but ive got so much baggage and also my autistic ass is so bad at knowing what i feel in regards to dating #and i dont know im rambling too much here but essentially i havent dated in years partially bc of coming out as gay during a pandemic lol #but also romantic emotional intimacy terrifies me even though i want it so bad like i just wanna feel seen and loved and feel that back #but i am very worried that i am perhaps not lovable in that way #not to mention trying to figure out how my gender identity fits into it all YIKES #anyway if youre still reading this thankyou i just need to talk about this stuff more i think instead of keeping it bottled inside

no. 1 🤔

what are 3 things you’d say shaped you into who you are?

my parents' relationship (negative), the pandemic (positive), the crush i had at age 13 (i wanna say negative but actually maybe it was a good learning experience idk)

#asks #special mention to daniel sloss' comedy special jigsaw bc has genuinely shaped my outlook on #dating and relationships

[dreaminrainbows]

I was watching Daniel Sloss' Jigsaw as one does the other day and am even more curious as to why (and I'm saying this fully aware that i have been called the queen of fluff when It comes to my ffs) would people genuinely honestly want to be and actively seek to be in a relationships... Like???

I absolutely do not understand it (and I don't mean when it comes to genuine connection between two people but just doing anything possible to be liked and compromising with themselves just to not be alone???)

Cuando digo que la vida no tiene sentido no me refiero a la vida de todos.

La vida puede tener miles de significados, o solo uno. Aunque es mejor tener mas de uno por site equivocas. Pero tener esta creencia fundamental, este sentido esencial de la vida, y mantenerlo para siempre es una estúpida forma de vivir, y muy difícil sobre todo si es algo que escogiste de joven.

Porque cuando somos jóvenes, nuestro cerebro es tan maleable, pero a la vez tan obstinado, que absorbe cosas y ni siquiera sabemos que están ahí.

“Si no estás con alguien estás roto”

“Si no estás con alguien estás incompleto”

“Si no estás con alguien no te realizaras”

No me quiero equivocar por no querer estar sola.

Toda relación es perfecta por fuera porque no queremos admitir que no tenemos idea de lo que hacemos. Y criar a un hijo es tan complejo, porque estamos en un mundo donde todo apunta al amor y todo es perfecto por fuera, y por ello cuando nos hacemos adultos estamos aterrados y cansados de ser adultos.

Algunos elegimos a la persona, a la pieza errónea, y la metemos a la fuerza en nuestro rompecabezas, ignorando que NO ENCAJA. ¿Por qué? Porque es mejor tener algo que no tener nada.

Todos en este planeta somos tan profundos, complejos y únicos, y como tú también llevan 20 años resolviendo su rompecabezas.

No puedes esperar a que renuncien a todo lo que han logrado para encajar de golpe en tu vida, así como a ti te molestaría que te pidieran sacrificar todo para encajar en su vida. Pero en ese momento, porque se gustan y están interesados en el otro, deben armar un rompecabezas, una vida. Y lo haces porque estas enamorado y te interesa, y tal vez los primeros años son geniales… pero el tiempo no equivale al éxito.

Y entonces después de 5 años, después de darse cuenta cada uno, que sus vidas van en caminos muy diferentes y que en realidad querían cosas muy distintas hay que preguntarse: ¿Debo admitir que desperdicié los últimos 5 años de mi vida? ¿Debo desperdiciar lo que sigue?

Mi generación está tan obsesionada por empezar el resto de su vida que están dispuestos a renunciar a la vida que ya viven. Hemos idealizado la idea del romance, y eso es mortal.

La gente se enamora de la idea de amar a alguien y no de ese alguien.

Un montón de personas que no se tomaron el tiempo de aprenderse a amarse así mismas y a están solas, consiguen a alguien para que las ame en su lugar.

“¿Cuál es el secreto de una relación feliz?”

“¿Cuál es la clave de una relación duradera?”

No hacer nada.

Debería ser tan fácil como respirar, en lugar de no ser nada sin tu pareja y todo con ella. Y si te cuesta en algún momento, despídete, hay 7 mil millones de personas en el mundo, encontrarás a alguien.

Ese sacrificio del que todos hablan, “si alguien no ama el 100 % de quien eres, cambia lo que eres hasta que te amen”, y por eso la gente cambia y se vuelven tan tristes porque mantienen esa ilusión. Y ¿eso es todo?, ¿esa va a ser tu vida?

Si no amas el 100% de mí, entonces no me amas, amas una idea sobre mí que has fabricado en tu cabeza, y no es mi culpa si no estoy a la altura de esas expectativas.

¿Qué puedes ofrecer si no sabes quién eres?

Si solo amas un 20% de ti mismo, alguien puede aparecer y amarte un 30% y pensarás que es un montón y es menos la mitad…

Es imposible saber si la persona con quién estás te ama con todo su corazón.

Lo peor que pueden hacer con su vida es pasarla junto a la persona equivocada.

Hay 7,5 mil millones de personas en el mundo y uno cree que encontró a su alma gemela a 30 km.

Y puede que yo esté equivocada, pero si no lo estoy entonces significa que esas personas tenían tanto miedo de estar solos que se forzaron a amar a alguien el resto de sus vidas.
