    I’m assuming American: Severe social anxiety, touch aversion, ptsd, strong desire for routine. Weight gain in the first few months.

    Also a long time to adjust to how rude people are in public spaces compared to inside. Inside disrespect => violence.

    My older brother did a few shorter stints over about 10 years but hasn’t been back for about 8 years or so. He still has a hard time dealing with crowds + parties but that may be his personality too.

    He just needed personal space and time to adjust. It took him about the same amount of time as his sentences to get back to comparable normalcy. He has never been quite the same though. Much less outgoing. I miss the brother I had and I appreciate the one I have now.

    I was freaked for Paranoia Agent

    But I think it’s a product of animated medium. Are there many scary animations even outside of anime? (Legit asking for examples since I can’t think of much rn) I think anime more often comes closest in spite of the premise here.

    My guess is it has to do w how things feel frightening when they’re somewhat relatable - when you can imagine yourself in this awful situation. Anime and animation in general has a difficult time with this due to being clearly and objectively not real.

    Instead they tend to twist reality to the unimaginable horrors. The farfetched, the surreal, the cosmic kind of horror you can only imagine but likely not truly experience. This both helps and hinders its interpretation of “horror”.
