'I think that's a big part of forgiving another person in a breakup, is forgiving yourself too.' —Olivia Rodrigo on her 'Sour' breakup
But now, Rodrigo — who revealed she’s currently single — is opening up about the two-party nuances that occur in a breakup. “I think that’s a big part of forgiving another person in a breakup, is forgiving yourself too,” she added.
Barrymore also asked for her guest’s advice on how to be proud of oneself, something Rodrigo said making helped her with. But pride is a hard line to walk as a young star, she explained, because everyone around you defaults to praising you 100% of the time. Barrymore, who began her career as a child actress, had no trouble relating.
“I just remember being like, ‘Oh I could do the worst thing and people could say that I did an amazing thing,’ so how will I know if I’m actually doing a good job?” Rodrigo said. “And I kind of, like, swung to the other side of the pendulum where I just thought everything I did was bad all the time.”
The next thing she said potentially unlocks more of the story behind songs such as “Enough for You” and the Taylor Swift-sampled “1 Step Forward, 3 Steps Back” — both of which detail a relationship in which Rodrigo constantly found herself the subject of overwhelming scrutiny from her partner. “I think maybe we really like criticism in that way because we didn’t hear a lot of it growing up,” she confessed. “I definitely gravitate towards people who are like that in a good way, but maybe also in a bad way.”
