An arrogant genius: Mark is a genius. He got a perfect score on the SAT. He is quite arrogant and complacent about it. He is determined to get ahead in the talented Harvard.
Sensitivity and low self-esteem: But he is not "cool" enough, he is not the kind of big guy who can attract girls, and he is not qualified to join various social clubs. He cares about these very much and feels that as long as he joins them, he will become better. In addition, Mark is also very concerned about other people's views of him, even preconceived that his girlfriend is belittling him.
Social barriers: Mark has been immersed in his own thoughts and world. He said two things at the same time. Although the topic jumps have its own logic, it is very quick and overwhelming; it is difficult to respond to other people's words in a reasonable way; when talking with his girlfriend, he rarely responds and communicates with his eyes. He feels even more of the attacks and harm that he believes to state the facts and judge others without reservation.
Break up: From the content of the dialogue between the two, it can be seen that they have not been dating very much; even though Erica is not so in love with Mark, dating him is like dating a treadmill, and he is absent-minded and wandering around while talking; but we have to say , This girl has done everything she can: try to keep up with Mark’s conversation, try to talk about topics he is interested in (but do bad things with good intentions, poke the other party’s soreness)... until finally irritated by Mark’s arrogance and paranoia , Angrily proposed to break up. Mark obviously didn't know where he was, but he was also irritated by the breakup comments. And this anger gave rise to an amazing myth: the most famous social networking site in the world, and the youngest billionaire.
Attached the opening dialogue of "Social Network", thanks to the great subtitles group. Another reminder: This is just a line, only with the director's powerful control and the actors' performance in place, can you appreciate how perfect and beautiful this opening is.

Erica,
you have been too extreme about the Ultimate Club. You have the ultimate club obsessive-compulsive disorder. You need to see a doctor and ask him to prescribe some medicine to treat it. Anyway, you don’t care if the side effects will make you blind.
