Their facade has become so entangled with their real selves that they have.
No doubt started to lose something special in this sort of protest fusion something original.
Well that wouldn't happen to me.
No, of course, not I.
First watched, autoguider snafu or my teen love romantic comedy at a perfect time in my life.
Just after the second season had been released coming up on the first semester of my senior year of high school I had this thing going my first two years in high school, where I kept group jumping getting new clothes, identifying myself by new interests and hobbies and trying to find my own public identity in school, whether being a skater or a prep I always seemed to be able to adapt to these groups I was in.
But while I felt like I was still myself and never felt like I was standing in the right place or presenting myself to others properly, autoguider centers on high kagaya hajiman, an extremely cynical discontent, high schooler who looks around at his fellow classmates and thinks that he see them as who they truly deep down are Hotch.
Amon is essentially obsessed with the Japanese idea of Hana and puffin mine.
This is basically the agreeable social dynamic, where Tata my is the public face that you wear around strangers and casual people in order to be very politically, correct inoffensive.
And for lack of a better word, fake the horn a on the other hand are your true.
Feelings or your private mind that are normally only shown to your very close family and close friends.
This closely mimics the idea of having a facade, but is more extreme as it is somewhat positively enforced by society in Japan in the concern of avoiding public conflict, or what is seen as undue friction between public groups and people as a community, whether this be co-workers or on trains and stores and more essentially Hachiman looks around.
And all he can see is fake people people unwilling to open up out of fear of becoming socially outcast or losing their positioning.
And this is something that's somewhat global be nice to the right people make the right calls and actions, elevate yourself don't, let anyone in and you will succeed.
But as much as Hachiman wants to be the heartless cynical, don't care person, the loner, it becomes apparent immediately that this loner cynical aggressiveness in a way is his own facade to protect himself from further hurt that he's experienced earlier in life.
He starts the series saving a dog from an oncoming car and continues to involve himself in others issues.
Slowly building a group of people who can open up to him and rely on him pretending all the while that he's not affected as he really is until finally, he reaches a breaking point.
He realizes that the world he was so scared of the disingenuous manipulative, shallow hollow relationships.
Being scoffed at had been bypassed.
And he had actually been presented with a genuine opportunity to form the bonds that he had always desired.
This isn't, the conclusion of auto guider.
However, just the first turn as hajiman puts some of his walls down and allows himself to connect and appreciated by others on a genuine pure level.
He realizes how badly he doesn't want it to disappear and sink through his fingers.
This materializes in the group he's in the service club.
The club shared with you Cano and Yui are the characters that Hachiman, perhaps feels the closest to outside of his little sister and I think that the romantic dynamic, the three find themselves in is mainly made interesting by the genuine yearning that Hachi Minh has it gives him reason to be afraid, a fearful second guessing, questioning instead of being a stick-in-the-mud or being painfully unaware like another protagonist might be.
It makes him painfully aware of how his actions could potentially know how his actions will lead someone to be hurt and sad, regardless of how things go forward or what decision he does or does not take this is where you can, oh says something that actually is the main message of my first video nearly three years ago.
And once again, is why or decatur who came at such a good time in my life stop trying to make sure nobody else gets hurt considering other? People is good, yes.
And you shouldn't, try to hurt people, but part of forming that genuine bond that connection with others that Hachi mon-sol wants is accepting that full truth means real pain, happiness and sadness don't exist in voids they're meters for each other balances.
Leveling each other out different sides of the same equation, it's a conflict.
So baseline human that while I understand that some people could feel overly drained or not enjoy or denied ur.
It hits home to me and I.
Imagine so many other people as a fundamental theme and yearning it's part of what makes me human.
And it drives so many other people in their regular lives as well for myself I've been asked to make a video on Auto guider for at least the better half of two years.
And it has never felt quite right to me I like to balance the aspects, the themes and different things that I relate to media.
The media itself extrapolate from them and pull good messages that I think they do have.
But while I would consider myself to be a very different person from Haim on to much of it strikes far too close to home, I, wouldn't say that I'm too cynical or judgy over all, but I do disengage from social situations.
A lot try not to stand out and I justify that by doing something genuinely good like bettering myself, but I know that well that isn't a bad thing it is just my brain stepping in for me.
This guy talks about psychiatry, a lot refers to something called the ahum gar and how it coincides with Freud and Jung depiction of the ego.
I don't really know what the UM whatever is, but the way that he describes it is basically when you face, adversity insecurity or fear, your ego will step in and rationalize the thing that you wanted away until you no longer desire it for an example that is extremely easy to explain if you were to ask somebody out and get rejected, you might start thinking to yourself, well, they had this problem with them in that problem.
And they weren't really that good-looking anyways and I didn't, really like him, and your brain might actually be right? Maybe it was not a good move to try and pursue them after all.
They weren't a good fit for you, but it doesn't change.
The fact that in that moment, at least you wanted whoever they were it's a coping mechanism that is protecting your ego.
We do this all of the time as people to avoid shame, embarrassment and inferiority.
So even though Hotch Eamon's, rationalizations are often correct and actually help many of the people around him in their lives.
They come from a deep-seated cowardice, the danger to his ego, not being desired used and wanted just like elementary and middle school had drilled into him it's.
One thing that makes the dynamic in order guy to one worth investing in for myself and many others.
And that genuine relationship the effort of seeking after it.
The reason everyone keeps their masks on it's more so than just social repercussion it's, a fear that they will realize that they aren't who they ever wanted to be the cost of human connection is the vulnerability.
The chance that you will have to take a closer look at yourself, and that in the end, you might not like what you're seeing I've talked about this plenty of times and I touched on it at the beginning of the script.
But I've always bounced between friend groups never had too much of an issue fitting in.
And regardless of this I've always felt incredibly alone, I held an Officer position in my college, co-ed fraternity, but I never felt like I could or even that I was allowed to really know many of the people on a genuine level.
I never disclosed.
My interest in anime and I barely discussed video games, despite always being important parts of life for me.
I started this channel as an outlet from that a way to form connections and be myself without having to worry about the image of me in real life, getting obscured.
But over time, I stopped wanting to put effort into that fake mask of myself, and slowly started just detaching and dumping more and more into this meme.
But finally, I'm going to have to take that very last hard.
Look.
And soon everyone in my personal life, growing up, my family, my friends through school they'll, see it too if I go through with this 100,000 subscriber face reveal for me.
This will symbolize the true self.
Finally, emerging to my real life, family and friends and I'm scared of that I've always sought genuine relationships.
But have always had walls keeping me at a safe distance.
So I could normally ask embarrassing questions without feeling like I was getting hurt, but I feel like I.
Finally have the maturity to face this new chapter in my life, one that will finally represent the truest me to everyone that's, always what Oda guy who has represented to me so I hope that you will all continue to comment, donate share and support.
However, high.
And however, far this goes, if you want a more detailed, look at specific events characters and things in order guy, doe, I recommend jiffy's video and we'll link it at the end card of this video.
