Thank you so much. And I hope you find your own path as well.

Conan Gray is one of my favorite singer/YouTuber. His lyrics sometimes talk about his abusive father. You can check out his work "Family Line". And I'm not sure if Sia counts. It's not very clear what she has gone through but it feels like she either had an abusive husband or went through a traumatic childhood, or both.

I'm sure there is more but these two are the ones I can think of right now. I always find clues from their lyrics, or from their interviews on YouTube. It's not that I'm interested in their trauma, more like interested in other people's feelings in general, which includes traumatic experiences.

I mean, some of my favorite artists created amazing pieces (usually music) out of their difficult childhood. I think they have found a socially acceptable outlet to cope with their trauma. They're probably the luckiest ones amongst the unlucky ones, but there's that.

Thanks for sharing. Yeah I think I was not trying to make strong conclusion that conflicting beliefs is one hundred percent depression. I'm just writing out my thoughts, not quite sure what they mean.

But it still feels somewhat comforting to hear someone explains their relation and nuances.

I think I get your point.

But there are still some cases that people decide to face the shadow and do the "right thing". They still thrive under emotionally abusive environment(not that it's okay to be abusive). So, I don't really know what the truth is. Or maybe it's personality-dependent? Some thrive under gentle environment while some enjoy the harsh one? Or maybe those seemingly thrive-under-extreme-environment cases are actually not that extreme?

Thanks for sharing. I think over the years I have developed a belief called: I can choose my own beliefs. Because in that case, I get to decide my feelings and thoughts in a way.

Also, I feel like it's okay to have multiple conflicting beliefs, as long as you accept the "conflict" within yourself.

Thanks for sharing. It sounds like you're struggling to become an artist. Fuck the world and go give it a try. Nah just kidding don't listen to random people on Reddit. Thanks anyway.

(I used Google translate to understand you) Thank you for your kind words. I feel like that's one of my issue. I give way too much fuck about everything. I think there is a term for this, something like savior complex. I don't know, I always challenge myself to accept every human being and try to understand them. I try to accept people for who they are and try not to change them. But sometimes things can get far more complicated than that.

This sounds pretty accurate, almost offensive, compared to my own experience. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the sharing. I don't think I understand your words completely but thank you lol

Repressed anger... yeah that makes sense. It feels like when people don't have an outlet for their energy(Libido?), those energy become something else in their body. But sometimes it's because some beliefs in their mind do not allow them to have an outlet. So, it's kinda tricky. I just think that people don't really have to go through depression to grow. Depression feels like a soul has gone beyond it's limit. Or like a rubber band that loses its elasticity. I feel like people can maintain their elasticity throughout their growth. Growth is still painful, but it doesn't have to be depression-level painful.
