Our backwardness is narrow

Imagine that in a small town in China, there is such a person, who treats the doll as a real person, gets along with her day and night, falls in love, follows this situation, and then imagines how his relatives will treat him, his friends How will you get along with him, how will his neighbors look at him, and how will strangers treat him?

Almost all people will directly say that he is a lunatic, and then avoid it, for fear that he will hurt himself, and will look at him and even his family with sarcasm. Under the influence of this atmosphere, the family will also He was sent to a mental hospital, or locked at home, not allowed to go out, and called it a good name for fear that he would hurt others.

In the hospital, the doctor asked the male protagonist's brother, "Can he eat, bathe, and work normally? Has he ever been violent?" The Lord took his baby to the hospital for consultation once a week. The doctor took this opportunity to chat with him and gradually discovered that he had a phobia of intimacy.

What impressed me was that the doctor would chat with him while eating, making the conversation so natural, but in such a natural conversation, the problem gradually became clear.

After returning from the hospital, the male protagonist's brother and sister-in-law began to run around the church, neighbors, etc., visiting some people in the town, so that they could understand the male protagonist's condition and help them. At first, maybe everyone was a little bit conflicted, but there was an old lady Ask people around, "your cousin always dresses his dog" "your wife has a kleptomania" and so on, she says "he's just a little different, everyone is different from everyone else"

So, according to the doctor's suggestion, in order to help the male protagonist, everyone accepted that the inflatable doll is a real person, invited them to church, to parties, to do community charity, and included her as one of them to make the male protagonist feel Because of everyone's concern for him, people like this, who didn't go out of the door and didn't even have a meal with their brother and sister-in-law, were more and more frequently integrated into everyone's life.

Yes, their sincere acceptance allows a person with mental problems to live a normal life in our opinion, allowing his mental journey to develop slowly, and eventually he walks out of the fork in his life.

In particular, a girl who likes the male lead accepts that the male lead's inflatable doll is his girlfriend. Accepting the male lead is different from ordinary people in this regard, but still firmly believes in his kindness and still maintains his love for him. , To put it vulgarly, even if I studied psychology, I have no confidence to say that I will love a good person with some mental problems.

In other words, in our society, all kinds of disapproval today stem from our narrow-mindedness, our generalization, thinking that neuropathy is neuropathy, not a normal person, and cannot be regarded as a normal person.

Perhaps, one day in the future, we will regard people who are a little abnormal in spirit as ordinary people around us. At that time, our civilization will really develop and we will really progress.
