Rather Than How She Views Him - Tumblr Posts

do you ever think that the reason hotch is so willing to accept affection from garcia when he isn’t from the rest of the team is at least partially because receiving affection from garcia doesn’t force him to admit he is a person worthy of affection. because garcia is just Like That. when other people show affection towards him he bristles because he believes deep down that he is a bad person unworthy of love, but when garcia shows him affection, he can justify to himself that garcia is only affectionate towards him because she’s affectionate to everyone, not because he’s particularly deserving. weirdly, he accepts it because he can reject it. haha. i do.

when other people are nice to him he’s like ‘what the fuck. how dare you insinuate i’m a person. jail for 5000 years’
but when garcia is nice to him he can accept it because he can see it as indicative of how she views people
rather than how she views him
obviously he is wrong and in denial. someone hit this middle-aged man with the therapy stick
