Damn... Poor Boy

Damn... poor boy

The Atlas personality, drawing on the myth of the giant Atlas from Greek mythology upholding the world, is typically found in a person who felt obliged during childhood to take on responsibilities (extending beyond normal household chores or looking after siblings) such as providing psychological support to parental figures, often in a chaotic family situation.

They are thus liable to develop a pattern of compulsive caregiving in later life.

The result in adult life can be a personality devoid of fun,

and feeling the weight of the world on their shoulders.

Depression and anxiety,

as well as over-sensitivity to others

and an inability to assert their own needs, are further identifiable characteristics.

In addition, there may also be an underlying rage against a parent for not having provided love, and for exploiting the child for their own narcissistic needs.

While Atlas personalities may appear to function adequately as adults,

they may be pervaded with a sense of emptiness and be lacking in vitality.

Yo, Can We Talk About This Anime ‘Hoshiai No Sora’ AKA ‘Stars Align’ That’s Airing This Season?

Yo, can we talk about this anime ‘Hoshiai no Sora’ AKA ‘Stars Align’ that’s airing this season? Trans rights!

Seriously, this show has been amazing so far with it’s varied, interesting characters, realistic portrayals of abuse and trauma, while maintaining a very fun and lighthearted tone. But this whole sequence in episode 8 just completely blew my mind.

I’ve never seen anime talk about LGBTQIA+ issues this openly and respectfully. I’m used to queer people just being a big punchline. I was not expecting it to be addressed this directly, and for all the main characters to be so completely supportive and wonderful about it. Especially not in what was advertised to me as a lighthearted tennis anime.
