I don't know how to accumulate and care, my mind is on the comparison with others, I constantly feel inferior, and gradually break away from the mainstream life. He has found a good wife, has a good son, and may have gradually succumbed to life because he chose the wrong career and was unable to fulfill his ambitions. That kind of daily self-talk, self-fantasy, that kind of intense emotion in an emergency (the person who reasoned with the admissions office when he learned that his son missed the Harvard interview, was actually unreasonable), the kind of breaking through the mental barriers to strive for results but Feeling that I don't even have the qualifications (it's hard to get through the psychological work to upgrade the class, I know that I need to pay the fee, I hesitate and persuade myself, I finally made up my mind to pay the money, and the discounted ticket I bought can't be upgraded at all, in order to save face Zhiyin card members are angry and want to throw them away when they are useless, but they are still reluctant, always so embarrassed), and they are left out because of being out of the group.

Brad's Status quotes

  • Brad Sloan: [narrating] Her friend, Maya was equally captivating, equally compelling. I suddenly felt a deep grief... for all the women I would never love and all the lives I would never live. I imaging running away with them both and starting again and what that might look like.

  • Troy Sloan: When we were walking around today and you embarrassing me, I kept thinking, like, you know, if I go to this school, everybody here's gonna remember this and I'm never gonna live this down. But... you know, they're not gonna remember. Because, everybody's just thinking about themselves. You know? Nobody cares. Like, the only person that's thinking about you, is me, so... the only person's opinion that you should really care about is mine.

    Brad Sloan: Yeah. What's your opinion?

    Troy Sloan: Well, I love you.

    Brad Sloan: Thank you.
