Guess it depends on how you deal with it. Do you realize you've lost your head and stick to a plan to get it back, or do you give up and let it all roll downhill. Metaphorically speaking.

[Rumlow can't really say whether he believes if the guy's crazy or not. He's willing to cut people around here a lot of slack, given that he's got a whole lot of conflicting memories himself. He doesn't know who the guy's ex is either, but at least he knows he likes men. That's one concrete piece of information, aside from the tea shop.

He sort of starts to pet the guy as they sit there. Rumlow hopes maybe a little more comfort will get him calm and stable enough to have that water. At first he's just rubbing at his shoulder, part of his back, and then his elbow bends, hand moving to the back of the guy's head. He responds well to physical affection, that much is obvious. Makes Rumlow think two things. Either he's starved for it, or that he doesn't regularly get physical abuse. Kind of on opposite ends of the spectrum, but he's not a professional. Or is he?]

If you can find the strength to overcome, then you don't let yourself be broken.
