“I could stay, try to make you fall in love with me but we both know that’s not going to happen. I’d end up resenting you and your friendship is too important for me to let that happen.”
“The truth is I was ashamed of what I was afraid that if people saw how truly different I was they would recoil from me. Lwaxana saw how different I was but she didn’t recoil. She wanted to see more. For the first time in my life, someone wanted me as I was. And that changed me forever.”

[I feel like Odo did love Lwaxana in his own way, not as a wife or even a sister, but just a sort of best friend way.]

Odo is such an important Star Trek character because more than any other character I’ve seen, he illustrates what it’s like to grow up different from everyone else and how that difference shapes you. This scene fucking guts me when I watch it. I order to fit in, he was forced to participate in the othering of himself. His uniqueness is fine as long as it only comes out in ways that are palatable for society. The rest of the time, he was to look and act like everyone else, regardless of how unnatural it feels for him. And it just leaves him feeling bitter and alone.
