Barbie moving back or just not feeling it when Ken tries to kiss her on multiple occasions. That right there. That’s when I felt so seen.

And throughout the entire movie, I was just dreading the moment where she’ll have to step back and realize that she’s had feelings for him this whole time ugh and that she’ll go back and they’ll live happily fucking ever after again ugh

But there was none of that. Just Barbie being her own self without a man, without a romantic relationship.

That right there. That gutted me because that’s been me my entire life and I thought that there was something wrong with me for not wanting a boyfriend and romance in the real world, fictionally it’s a whole other thing but this right here rung so so true to me because it felt so real and it felt like a healing salve to that ache society caused in me.
