thank you. i don’t think people realize just how big of an impact trauma and mental illnesses have on people. depression isn’t just “sadness”. anxiety isn’t just feeling nervous before a test. ptsd isn’t just having bad memories of something. OCD isn’t just being a neat freak. mental illnesses control your life. people need to understand how awful they are and to stop being so fucking rude and shunning people from society because of something they can’t control.
People really do be out here trying to call out Mingyum for having genuine mental illness ʅ（◞‿◟）ʃ yeah he’s frustrating to watch as a reader at times but he has damn good reason to not trust people and doubt their intentions. His own father treated him like a tool, only offering affection when Mingyum was useful to him and then abandoned him. You don’t go from having no one to depend on your whole life to suddenly in a year being all peachy-keen in long term relationships. The story was pretty realistic in how Mingyum constantly struggled with self worth and trust issues, even after solving the initial conflicts. In real life, once you’re out of an abusive home you don’t suddenly stop having trauma. It stays with you and is a constant struggle (づ￣ ³￣)づ Good job to Chan Sam for staying with him through all that tho
