I hope I do better too. I'm not like that most of the time, but when I'm like that, it's very hard.
"It's unfortunate though that you can relate to it so much from personal experience, I hope you're doing well my friend."
I never thought about the dance scene that way... There could be many explanations in-universe for this, but I agree... The anime/novel both implied that he recovered too quickly for something he's been living for many years. I think the author will notice that flaw in his writing too if he thought about it, but otherwise, I think this story has a very accurate deciption of depression. That's rarely seen in anime form.
Oh, if you want a good presentation of social anxiety, watch A Silent Voice movie, and pay attention to the protagonist's eyes, and the camera movement. That director understands social anxiety extremely well!
I'm here if you need someone to talk to, you shouldn't keep these emotions bottled up.
From what I understand Rudy's condition is "Agoraphobia", it shouldn't go away easily, or at the very least he shouldn't be so good at socializing.
I had the same issue with Subaru from Re:Zero at first, they introduced him as a "NEET" but he's far from it, a complete extrovert. I'm willing to overlook this one though because someone told me he wasn't a NEET in the light novel, the anime unnecessarily added that because it's an Isekai, seems like they forgot it's not an escapist fantasy, unless it was made for masochists 😂
Yeah I watched A Silent Voice, it's pretty good! One of the rare cases of bullying in anime where the parents are in the picture. I didn't pay much attention to the visual details though since I was drawing while watching 😅 maybe I should rewatch it someday.
