Speaking of which, I have not seen many films, and I am still struggling to make patches. But as of today, let me want to say something about it. This is the first one, and it can be considered a debut.
I won’t say more about the plot of the film here, and I invite you to watch it yourself.
Below we focus on the special group to which Kayla, the heroine of this film, belongs-children from single-parent families suffering from social phobia. Such groups are often ignored in the crowd because they are quiet, and sometimes even so quiet that people ignore their existence. In short, this is a mysterious and special group that always wears an invisible cloak in public. The main characteristics of this type of group are usually shown as being unable to integrate into the group, being afraid of participating in group activities, not being able to take the initiative to talk to people, the more people there are, the more silent, and so on. People often misunderstand that they are cold, withdrawn, introverted, and incompatible. But in fact, they have a stronger and more eager desire to integrate into the group than anyone else. It's just that they can't do it!
why? This is because they used the most certain qualities they have to build a wall between themselves and the group that is more unbreakable than the Great Wall, and they gave full play to the spirit of athletes and threw the key to the city gate. A place I will never find. So what is this quality? What is the key to the city gate?
The answer is: low self-esteem and courage.
Ten years ago, I discovered this secret and wrote an article titled "Crystal Heart Lock" (unfortunately, the original was lost). Ten years later, I saw a movie called "Eighth Grade".
The growth of such groups is also extremely difficult. They don't have friends who can understand each other (it would be nice not to be rejected because they are so "cold" at a young age), and they don't know how to express this kind of distress to their parents. If you want to make a change, you can only rely on yourself.
As a result, Kayla, the protagonist of countless films, appeared on stage. They gave full play to their fearless spirit and moved forward courageously, taking the initiative to greet people for the first time, and to talk to people for the first time. Although this is worthy of encouragement, embarrassment will always hang over them like a huge shadow. The embarrassing situation at this time mainly has the following two possibilities:
1. The other party is your classmate or colleague. In their impressions, they have a preliminary understanding of you-cold, withdrawn, introverted, and out of gregariousness. Because of your sudden initiative, they were stunned. At this time, their inner activity should be, suddenly they talked to me actively, what happened? In fact, this can't blame others. A person who is quiet to almost non-existent suddenly becomes uncharacteristically, and indeed there will be some suspenseful existence.
2. The other party is not familiar with you. You will find that after completing the greetings perfectly, you feel as at a loss as an actor on stage who forgot his lines. Then you will find a more embarrassing thing, this is a dialogue without a script. I won’t say much about the next development, either directly falling into an awkward silence, or even more awkwardly finding a couple of sentences to say awkwardly, and then falling into the silence you fear most.
Why do these people who are brave enough to make breakthroughs rarely succeed in breaking through? This will be described by one word in performance-self-monitoring. Because they have too many certain qualities mentioned above, their monitoring system will be more sensitive. This extremely sensitive system will continue to tap their potential as athletes, allowing them to throw the key that they have finally found - courage - to a farther place again.
Therefore, they either wear an invisible cloak forever and remain silent, or they can only learn from the spirit of the Han emperor Liu Bang's repeated defeats and repeated defeats with a strong heart and firm belief. But in terms of the above-mentioned qualities that they have the most, this is really not easy. This is why Kayla is about to face her brand new high school life and has made a new wish box for this. After going through a series of events, she has grown and accumulated valuable experience. She is about to embark on a new journey.
Maybe there will be unconvinced comrades who will stand up and ask me why I say so?
The answer is: I was one of them!
