I am this person

We all have OCD, we force ourselves to get out of bed when we're still sleepy, we force ourselves to squeeze into sweaty buses, we force ourselves to smile at people we hate, we force ourselves to clumsily do hate jobs. Forced to marry and have children. And when you can finally sit down and think about what you want to do in your seventies and eighties, maybe after you close your eyes occasionally tiredly, you won't open them again.
God gave us a complete life, and then we forced ourselves to live like others. We wear masks, greet people with smiles, and live the way others think we should. . We are not afraid of hardships, difficulties, or loneliness, but we are afraid of being understood. We are so afraid to say out loud in the face of other people's doubts, we are too cowardly to say "I am this person" to ourselves in the mirror.
Phoebe's obsessive-compulsive disorder caused him to wash his hands and swell his legs, which made his mother almost collapse and the family was on the verge of disintegration. The troupe became his only safe haven to escape reality, and when this safe haven faced a crisis, she was finally able to face it calmly and come forward. She used her own strength to protect everyone, and when she became a safe haven for others, she naturally no longer needed the shelter of others. In the end, Phoebe faced the questions from his classmates with a soft smile from beginning to end. No matter whether the pain is hard to heal, at least she dares to stand in front of it and say, I am not afraid of you.
