you ever read a story where you and the protagonist share such a specific brand of mental illness that you feel like you've been smacked with a mirror and you just gotta sit there with wet eyes as it lists all the ways you need to fix yourself. stories that say "this you? get help lmao". stories that equal six months of therapy. self recognition through the other? shoot that shit up my veins all day every day

I hugged my mom and she was really happy about it, i felt bittersweet about what she said
"i wanna be the person i needed when i was her age”
I hear other adults who also suffered as kids talk about how we want to be the person we needed when we were young. And it is beginning to dawn on me that on the other side of that choice are the people who needed someone, didn’t have that person, and instead of choosing to be that person when they grew up, they chose to perpetuate cruelty and selfishness.
And they act like they are tough and strong and powerful because they don’t let anything get to them … but that’s all a lie they tell themselves.
The truth is, they’re weak and afraid.And when they can’t sleep at night, they know it. And the scariest thing in their reality, the thing they will run from their entire lives, is that they will be found out and exposed.
It takes courage and strength, vulnerability and dedication to be the person you needed, because when you are that person for someone else, part of you remembers and relives that you never had that. The people who choose indifference or cruelty aren’t strong or courageous enough to allow themselves to feel that pain all over again, so they just inflict it on others. They know they’re weak, they know that beneath the mask they are afraid. So all they have is cruelty, which is honestly the easiest thing in the world. It’s the path of least resistance for the people of least courage.
Being cruel is so boring. It’s lazy. Anyone can be cruel. It takes real hard work to be kind.
Make the choice to be the person you needed, and commit to doing the work. Practice it, and break the cycle.

from the response from non mp100 fans to mob winning tumblr autism polls i kinda get the sense that people who havent seen the show think hes a “diagnosed autism at fandom because socially awkward” kind of character and not like. the most autistic character ever written.
like okay. so the plot of mob psycho is that mob didnt have a lot of friends as a child because people thought he was weird for having powers, and when his one friend got kind of bored of him showing off he resorted to repressing the use of his powers entirely to appear more “normal”. however, since his powers are an expression of his identity and not something that exists outside of him, repressing his powers also meant completely repressing his emotions, so he appears completely unemotive until he gets extremely overwhelmed and has meltdowns, one of which hurt someone he cared deeply about and caused him to repress his emotions even more. and because of this unemotive “mask”, as well as his inability to read social cues and general social awkwardness, people tend to look down on him and try to take advantage of him because they refuse to view him as an emotionally complicated person with his own wants and needs, and as a result he kind of internalizes this. and the series is about him learning to build friendships with other people and assert himself and his boundaries more. and instead of the final antagonist being some evil guy trying to take over the world or something its the manifestation of all of mob’s repressed powers and emotions and desires that have gotten tired of being cage which he refuses to let free because he’s terrified that if he’s himself the people he’s spent all this time as his “fake” self building relationships with won’t like him anymore.
like at a certain point it goes beyond “popular fandom headcanon” and into “just actually the plot of the show”
