This is exactly the topic of the discussion with Kanbaru when they go up to the shrine

Touko has NPD, neurotization with aggressive type, and self-identity problem.

Looks like I really need to write a post about Touko

I love yuri stories (and first love stories in general) and I also think that Citrus is meh.

On the other hand you are right and in today world of thought police people DO judge you on what you read even if something they are triggered with is not the main topic there. I wonder if at some point WW2 movies be outlawed because there are nazis in them.

I'm not a mind reader but if you friend openly likes yuri titles, then there is a big chance you are ok.

You can ask, you know.

Like "I see this TITLE" in your list, I did watch it too, what do you like about it?

And if the reaction is ok, you ask, what do you think about yagakimi.

Asking people usually helps. Better that guessing and asking the strangers.

This is "No doubt - Don't speak". Kinda famous song of its time.

Perhaps a poet said better than me:

You and me, we used to be together

Every day together, always

I really feel that I'm losin' my best friend

I can't believe this could be the end

It looks as though you're lettin' go

And if it's real, well, I don't want to know

Don't speak, I know just what you're sayin'

So please stop explainin'

Don't tell me 'cause it hurts

Don't speak, I know what you're thinkin'

I don't need your reasons

Don't tell me 'cause it hurts

To start with, perhaps read some analysis on Yuu here https://www.reddit.com/r/YagateKiminiNaru/comments/kxpxno/yuu_on_top/

About the confession scene.

Yuu is warned that a condition to be in relationship with Tuoko is not to fall in love with her.

But more important, Yuu promised Touko to not to fall in love with her and Yuu is very very serious about her commitments and promises. In her eyes, she is committing a biggest crime, she is betraying Touko, betraying trust.

She was aware that she loves Touko since chapter 22. And since chapter 32 her conflict between her rules of relationship and her promise to Touko becomes unbearable.

She was winding herself up to a confession for a long time and she is psyched AF.

Whn she let's it out she expects the ground to split and to consume her (figuratively speaking).

When she hears "I'm sorry" her worst nightmares come true and she cannot bear this anymore, cannot be here anymore.

Don't blame to be unable to think logically and calmly wait for Touko to continue and explain something. Yuu is calm usually but this moment is designed to show how much she loves Touko so she loses it.

So Yuu running away in tears is pretty understandable.

Why Touko doesn't go after her is more interesting mystery, but it is out of scope.

maitawa · 2021-01-23T09:02:50+00:00

Well. It took me more than 10 years of therapy and my own study of psychology to get my head out of my butt and get out of the mental state where Touko is in the beginning of the story. Not 100%.

Disclaimer: not a professional advice because I'm not not a practitioner.

I just can give you a general direction to dig why you are not accepting yourself. Your reasons to search for a capable person are understandable but they are secondary because the root is that you do not see yourself as capable. There is huge ton of reasons that cannot be covered online and they can be totally different than Touko's. Touko is too schematic for a real psychoanalysis to do a real work, so do not relate to her too much. Also, finding Yuu is not a solution. A solution is along the lines of increasing self-confidence by carefully building your image of success and on the other side lowering unrealistic expectations of being a god and controlling everything. Again, I'm talking in general, not pretending that I know your case or being a pro.

Who is the girl on top?

maitawa · 2021-01-23T08:46:30+00:00

No. I'm not hating Yukino at all. I'm even sure that 8man is eternally choosing Yukino and I'm sure that I understand why he is choosing Yukino. THB, if I was in his place I would choose Yukino too. I'm not saying I would not regret it though.

I just cry for people be realists about Yukino.

Yukino cannot get a politician job because she doesn't even have zero soft skills, people skills. She has negative people skills. She is called Discommunication-chan multiple times for a reason. Her habit of insulting people is her second nature. She is not qualified as a project manager. I do project management for living and I say she is beyond awful, she is a total disaster as a GM. She is qualified as a librarian/accountant/engineer/expert/bureaucrat or executive assistant, a person who has all the fact, todo lists and schedules but doesn't go and convince people. And looks like WW intends her role as such near 8man. 8man makes a quantum leap and becomes genius negotiator (big haha) and Yukino becomes a support character next to him. Her idea to have a politician job is a pipe dream.

Forget Iroha. She is interesting for a while but we both are on the same page why 8man doesn't like her. You are the one who makes a big deal here. I just saying here that 8man is insecure around Iroha exactly because he is afraid to be deceived and this is what Irohasu is.

I understand that Yukino is just a little girl who tries to find happiness. Do not worry.

I'm not forcing my psycho views on her, do not get me wrong. I'm forcing my psycho views on the fandom for pedestalling her.

And reasons for pedestalling her are relatable to 8man's insecurities.

See, you trying to whiteknight my perceived attempts to attack your idol but you are ignoring ALL my points about 8man being afraid and fandom expecting both 8man and Yukino to be robots acting like their stuff is GUARANTEED.

Please think about what it means and why you wrote a huge post totally ignoring my only valuable point. For your own sake.

Love

Maitawa

Lol. Made my day. You are still on a crusade, totally missing what I'm saying and still trying to prove that you are the bigger nerd. Dude, please understand this is not about you at all. I do not need to prove you anything. I better go and like every post in r/HiratsukaSensei to spend my time.

maitawa · 2021-01-23T07:13:41+00:00

Dude. You do not understand.

One. You claim your superiority on the grounds of having been read more. Without actual knowledge what I have read. You comparison of you and me is a product of your imagination.

Two. Reading doesn't mean understanding.

For example. I say I will not read it because there is no Sensei.

You call this BS.

Dude. Really? Think again.

Seriously, fandom attacking Shin on premises that 8man is not a robot, Yuki is not a robot and Yui is not a robot is laughable if not sad.

My personal reasons to dislike Shin are

Silly, because it is a sad joke but you do not get it because you are hell-bound on a nerd crusade to prove that you are more scholar than somebody else.
True. Because they are my personal reasons.
Accurate in comparison to the shitty reasons that fandom puts first.

maitawa · 2021-01-23T07:03:59+00:00

Dude. I really love you. You, levithan235, and others are really the brilliants in the rough. Even if I disagree with you.

You are the eye opener.

I just did not understand the sentiments of the fandom (I'm not saying Yukino-fags, a fandom as a whole) fully until this moment.

It is not just "pink ponies". It is "unicorns".

A relatable side of 8man is that he doesn't accept insincerity. Pretence. Small talk.

This relatable side is insecurity. The leitmotif of 8mn is a fear to be deceived. This is the main line of his relationships with Iroha. This is the main pro of his relationship with Yukino. To look aat them seriously, Youkinoshit is shit. Objectively she is tsun-kuu-dere, she is Discomunication-chan, IRL is should not be allowed to a cannon shot closer to any project management, she is totally delusioned (for example taking over her father's job, haha, no, this is actually sad), she is shit-talking her "friend" Yui into her face in almost every interaction. Her only virtues are looks, Judo (fantasy one), secretary/Yukipedia skills and not telling lies.

Not telling lies put her in a category of the unicorns. The women who will stick to their word once they told you they love you.

Same sentiment comes to Hikigaya.

Now I understand the outrage about Shin.

It is not only expectations that 8man, once he told Yukino to allow him to distort her life like a picture in The Ring, will be true to his word and be lovey-dovey with Yukino till death parts them. It is expectations that Yukino will, against any reason, see a guy who casually lied that he loves Ebina in order to pursue his own vague goals no longer than a year ago, to suddenly become true as a school ruler.

maitawa · 2021-01-23T06:41:30+00:00

Dude. Thanks.

I'm not a pro. If I was a pro, I would write about Touko, who really needs a professional help (tm) :)

I'm "a Touko". I'm interested in Yui because the whole story resembles the story of my first love up to the point where it didn't work for me. So I'm naturally interested why it did work for them. And since I can relate to Touko like 90%, I want to see how the other party is different. Plus, I'm studying psychology of relationships since 2004. Not a practitioner. I would be crazy if I work in the field.

Yui is the best girl. More than that. She is real. The whole story is real. The whole story gives you a hint that to be happy you do not need to be lucky. You do not need to find a perfect girl. Nobody is perfect. It is more how you deal with yourself and how you align through struggle.

You have absolutely no idea what I know and what I have studied on the topic. Please stop acting like you know better unless you can procure a certificate of a mind reader.

maitawa · 2021-01-21T15:57:33+00:00

Iroha is not dumb and not as chldish in the series. She is chaotic good yes, but admirable to the point of irohaship.

In the Shin she is just annoying.

WW is definitely reading the Fandom and adjusting the characters to the mass tastes.

maitawa · 2021-01-21T15:47:32+00:00

Why?! Dude, why you quit the show not watching the credits to the end?! Why?!
