I feel like we’ve gotten some good glimpses of Bob starting to find his stride and get new opportunities throughout the seasons. We’ve had the cooking competition, a couple catering gigs, some good(ish) reviews, an award(however contrived), and maybe some others I’m forgetting. I know a lot of the show is about them trying to get off the ground and humorously navigating through the issues but I’d love to see it turn around at some point. You can still find humor even when things are going better for the family and even still throw in some foils so it doesn’t get boring. We have 16 seasons of mostly struggle, it would just be nice to at some point see how they do as a successful business. Bob could come up with some creative concept that just takes off at the right moment and work on that while still trying to stay true to his original vision or something to that effect. I think it would also be funny to see a “The Bear” style episode or two, but done in more of a Bob’s way with Bob’s Burgers style humor of course.

Just something I’ve been thinking about on my latest rewatch as I’m getting to the newer seasons again. They do a really good job weaving in new things and tones without changing the show overall so I think it could work. Does anyone else want to see the restaurant and the Belchers doing better? Do you think it would change things too much? Curious to know if anyone else has thought about this or what you think about the general idea of them going in a more successful direction?

Do you feel like your level of attractiveness plays into your social anxiety at all? I feel like I have become very looks obsessed over the past years(maybe I’m just chronically online😅). I was more anxious in childhood when I was overweight then I had about 10ish years in my late teens early adulthood where I was more conventionally attractive and felt more able to put myself out there. Now I am overweight again and feel like it’s also affecting my face so I just feel gross and off putting. It makes me feel like I can’t and shouldn’t put myself out there, even for friendships not just dating. I won’t pretend that looks don’t matter in society because they do, but I feel like this outlook has to at least be somewhat unhealthy. It’s like my social anxiety is directly(or at least closely) tied to how I feel about my looks at the time.

Does anyone else feel the same that looks play a part in your social anxiety? Anyone have tips for disconnecting the two?

Edit: Oh 31F for reference. I think that matters especially when it comes to looks in society.
