In college, Lizzy is shown to be intimidated and bad-mouthed by another student who bullies Lizzy due to her shyness and lack of will to retaliate. In reality, Lizzy is revealed to have a hard time talking to others, stemming from a problem with dealing with and expressing her feelings. Meanwhile, Alex's job at the pharmacy is stable and ideal, however, her home life is shown to be tense and miserable, as she has to share an apartment with her mother, Pamela. Pamela is out of work and refuses to re-adjust her life, thus leaning on Alex for stability, causing the two to end up at odds. In contrast to this, Lizzy's home life is quite peaceful.

Production
Cold Feelings evolved from two short stories written by show creator L.B White. The stories featured two main characters who were "prototypes" of the eventual show characters Lizzy and Alex, and were written to be standalone stories that were White's attempt at writing something "different and a little evocative". After writing the two stories, White saw potential in the two characters and wanted to continue the narrative but was unsure of which direction to take. White eventually decided to create a new TV show and use the events and characters from the stories, which was the genesis of Cold Feelings.
