The Jon and Martin relationship has a lot of issues caused by their respective traumas and worldviews, as established in season 5. But one frankly important issue that stems from the very way of their functioning is that Martin is the kind of person to whom “caring for someone” is tending to them (like a mother would), and sitting them down and listening to them talk about their problems. Meanwhile Jon is very self-sufficient, and as good as he might be at identifying other people’s problems, is completely awful at talking about himself and finds it hard to open up. Tell me how are they meant to get along in this situation

waitttt elaborate because like i lowkey didn’t think martin was the type to listen to anyone’s problems at all by s5….
